Bro just say you’re happy to be a Wizard and to represent DC, compliment the young talent too idk man just not this lol

I’ve been a lifelong Wiz fan and this would be my reaction too. Just chill. I’m super happy to have him here and I bet he’ll warm up to the city and org.

God forbid this becomes the main narrative and he gets booed from game one. Let’s show him love and support him.

AD needs to do what Kawhi and PG did their contract year. Suck it up and play through injuries and some sucker will give him the extension he wants

Don’t talk sometimes

Bro respectfully, you can’t criticize the Wizards when YOU DON’T PLAY.

Why does everyone on this sub always criticize these guys for speaking their mind? I noticed it with this and the Udoka thread. U’d rather hear fake generic answers than actual opinions?

Wizards lowkey look solid next season.

Sarr, Trae, AD, George, top 5 draft pick this year.

That team will make the playoffs. AD should be hyped to be there.

So he really thought he’d go to a contending team AND get paid? I don’t think so honey!!

I for one very much want him to succeed. He was a victim of the Luka trade too, expected to live up to him when he couldn’t possibly and its not really his fault he’s so injury prone. Feel bad for the guy and hope he can end his career with a bang

SMH change your Street Clothes to game clothes before you start criticizing.

Not a smart man, but an honest one

Oh great. Nitpick on your new company Day 1.

My king

You don’t have to talk, AD

Be happy any team wants you at this point. You’re made of fucking toilet paper, my guy.

Translation: “If they extend me and overpay me, sure, I’ll talk myself into it.”

Crazy how much everyone memory-holed that he refused to play for the Pelicans and only played limited minutes when the league forced him. Everyone remembers James Harden doing this for like a few weeks but nobody remembers AD doing it for 6 months.

I mean, Dawkins is saying similar stuff. We want him here. We’ll see how it goes. Good for the kids to compete next year and learn from some higher end talent. They need to be finally playing for *something*.

We gave up essentially nothing for a large infusion of talent. No one in the coming free agency class really excites me to the degree that I’m mad about lost cap space. (The high end guys would be more of a gamble since they won’t come here for a 1-2 year test contract.) Zero risk and potential for a great deal of return.

In Dawkins we trust.

So glad we’re done with this loser

Added, “but I’m hurt most of the time anyway, so why not enjoy the nightlife and slightly above average strip clubs—-y’all know I got a green jacket, right”.

That they made this dude to 75…this got Klutch sports written alllll over it.

Edit to say: allllllllllllll over it.

You know what? No AD

be grateful somebody is trading for your ass right now. Don’t like where you are? Ball the fuck out or pout while in street clothes for the remainder of your “33 going on 44” career

If it’s the former welcome. Pick your fucking number

This dude is lucky any team views him as an important piece to being a contender.

Are any pitchfork holders actually reading the full quote? I don’t even expect you to read the article, even just the text within this post

this subreddit really wants players to have chatgpt bot responses to all questions? acting like he said he’s gonna bomb dc or some shit

He was always a professional during his time here and it could not have been easy for him. I hope things work out for him and he has a healthy productive year next session

Then go in there and change it man. Put together a 40 win season and make the playoffs like Russ did. What the hell is with the mentality of this generation of NBA players. Aren’t you a franchise guy AD? Max contract?

Well the chefs can do some cookin’ but my teammates….

With this new CBA a lot of guys are going to have to decide if they want to compete or get paid. If you are on the wrong side of 30, outside of a very short list of dudes, you are going to have to pick one or the other. A.D. is a perfect example.

Be on standby Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC)

OP is a clown, the headline completely destroys the context of what seems like a reasonable and complimentary take 

yeah this is a non-story, and I would hope the feeling is mutual. he better not get the extension Rich Paul will undoubtedly be angling for

what if pelinka lets lebron walk and then signs AD hmm

Yah gotta admit, it’s though to have a winning record when you don’t even play

guess its good to be honest

The last thing I want an incoming super star to say when he’s traded to my team.

AD needs to accept he’s at a point age and injury wise where he either is going to get paid by a rebuilding team or he’s going to have to take a way below max deal to be on a contending one

I’m so sorry man…

Everyone knows Washington and Sac are where careers go to die. That said Washington very clearly has a plan and look like they are building a team that could actually be relevant in two years. AD should be happy to be somewhere that actually wants his broken down ass.

This dude still has a choice??

What the fuck

Try to stay healthy for longer than 1 game buddy before saying anything…

I mean he probably shouldn’t have said that but like he’s not wrong.

They haven’t been that good historically, but they have a lot of potential. I’d love to see the wizards be competitive.

The full quote isn’t even bad.

Where does AD think he is right now in stature? Hes played 29 games the last 12 months. Hes about to be 33. Any team could have traded for him. It’s not like that was some big package.

Between that comment and the extension talk it’s just a real lack of self awareness. Because if he’s who he seems to think he still is, guess what? The Wizards will be good. Trae, that young core and near peak AD? They’ll straight up be a very good team next year.

Davis talking like he doesn’t have 2 years left on his deal (and let’s be honest, there’s a 80%+ chance he picks up that player option for 63m.) He doesn’t have much leverage. Take the rest of the season off and we’ll see you and Trae suited up on opening night next year.

He has a very inflated view of himself

Wizards are contending next year, in the East.

Lakers could use a DPOY caliber center

Translation:

This squad been ass for a minute.

Trae just got here and can hoop but he’s hurt.

The youngins are cool but I want to see who else we sign.

MF going to get bought out and wind up back in LA, isn’t he? 😂

My initial controversial take to AD and Kyrie pairing was potential finals appearance. But this AD and Trae is just sad

LOL

AD gunna have to take that paycut come his next contract. Idk who in their right mind would give him a max extension with his history……. Then again Morey did max out PG lol

Doesn’t matter if he stays or not, he still won’t play for them.

I don’t see him playing more than 20 games.

Ah, ADnp doing what he does best, alienating the fan base on day one. Dallas should be eternally grateful for being able to get rid of his contract.

Mandatory f*ck Narcissist Nico Harrison, the only GM incompetent enough to trade a generational talent for this joke character.

Pay me

“I haven’t seen their benches courtside yet. If they have a lot of cushions for my injured ass, I suppose I can stay.”

He really is one to fucking talking about stigma. You are always fucking hurt dude. Your nickname is Always Down and Street Clothes. Stfu and enjoy your free ride.

His comment shows a real lack of self awareness. Honestly, him and the wiz seem like a perfect fit.

I can’t believe it still. The Mavs lost their generational franchise face for nothing.

He might be chapped for awhile. Dude has won at every level from NCAA, Olympics and NBA. 10 time all star, 5x AllNBA and 5x DPOY.

But twice now he has been sent to teams he didn’t choose mid season.

His injuries aren’t his fault or self inflicted its horrible luck.

And now he has the stigma of being the other side of the worst trade in the sport’s history.

Most players would never recover and move on.

He’s gonna ask for a buyout

Bro careers DIE in Washington

There’s like 5 teams in the NBA where players go to die. DC is one of them.

He gone

It’s so funny how Wiz fans are taking these quotes as a positive sign. Bless their hearts. “HEY HE DIDN’T OUTRIGHT TELL US TO GO FUCK OURSELVES!” I’ve been there man. I tried to get excited about a free agent haul of Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. Especially with how good the DMV ball is it sucks the Wizards have been bad for so long. Absolutely a playoff team next year if they can get Ant and Trae to buy in.

one shitty quote on reddit. time to speculate. what’s the first hypothetical that comes to mind boys? ⌨️ 😈

Wizards better than Lakers next season

Doesn’t play anyway, so who fucking cares what he thinks?

Instead of being thankful that at least one team took s chance on his sry injured ass he goes out and says this.

Can’t wait to have you back AD!

Not a leader. Never was, never will be. A leader would take this as an opportunity to turn a franchise around. He got dumped twice in a year, there’s a reason for that. He thinks he is still the guy he was 5 years ago. Expect a lot of chirping from his camp about extensions. He will make things uncomfortable

If they’re tanking it makes no sense why they trade for him.

I heard the draft h the is year is kinda weak compared to the last 3 drafts, though. Is that info correct?

Lakers fans know how much of a baby he is, hopefully he gets his act together. Doesn’t he want an extension?

He’s skeptical about DC and DC is skeptical about him. AD is straight trash. One of the most overrated players of all time
