“There was only one bullet left in the gun. If I hadn’t shot myself in the foot, someone else would have taken it and shot themselves. Then I’d have no bullet!”

Wiz should have just let themselves shoot their foot instead.

Funny thing is I can’t tell if you’re a trae stan or hater from this comment

Brooklyn has a ton of money and no incentive to tank next year. They’re going out and overpaying for guys who will make them more competitive in the 26-27 season. Only thing I’m confused about is, I expected Austin Reeves’ deal to dictate what Trae was going to get.

And he isn’t the best shooter.  

nah i doubt we pay AD. Our give this current FO a lil grace since this is the first bad/questionable move fr they’ve done

Fuck that pick

The team is constructed to cover his weakness and he’s a better passer than scorer and could take advantage of that to open up his scoring.

ya, no way

people are overstating the value of mid players to get into that 4-14 range (out of the top 3 relegation zone)

wolves fans are trying to talk ourselves into julius having more value for this reason

but none of it really lands, I don’t buy it

Corporate execs and politicians: They just like us!

But “DEI” is what’s wrong with society.

Oh no tanking is too hard now 😢🎻

I really don’t envy rebuilding FO job rn. So many things making their life difficult from second apron to FA and contract markets to new lottery rules

Better than having 10 teams trying to lose on purpose for the last 25 games of the year.

Whether teams tank or don’t tank doesn’t impact the amount of talent influx that enters the league through the draft.

I look forward to more teams trying to maximize their wins in any given season. Competition will be higher & harder. Why wouldn’t I want that?

“Giddey”

Doesn’t really make sense what you’re saying? But then again you are a raptors fan, only thing that doesn’t make sense is breaking the bank for a team of Brandon Ingram, quickley, poetl and rj barrett 😂

the lakers have luka and likely reaves there is no world where they want trae who in recent years has been less efficient than both of them by alot

Maybe he has a career season next year and pumps up his trade value.

Lol

* What an unforced error.

I forgive you; you’re a Wizards fan. 😉

I mean what goodwill the wizards haven’t developed any of their players really (only sarr but he was already a #2 pick) and they lucked into first overall because they let bam adebayo break Kobe’s record

Yea and whoever they take #1 will be 23 by the end of it. It’s all about showing the young core what it takes to win. Maybe they even get a chip in these 4 years. These people are Redditors, don’t forget about it. Usually they don’t know shit about basketball.

There’s a case that he’s past his prime now. Let alone being a small guard at 32.
