Next time SAS makes a claim that he has known a brother for over x amount of years it’s straight to the comment section ????

No, The Wizards should get a legit center for the first time in my 35 year life. That’s what they should get.

Adam Silver would never allow that. Sam Hinkie undercovered a loophole in the NBA. The guy is a Jedi Master.

Best thing to do is scrap it and take the L, and rebuild…they dropped the ball with John Wall and Beal and they both deserve better but it’s not gonna happen in DC. Trade them and try to stash up on young guys.

Sam hinkie is not good at drafting. His one talent is he is shameless and willing to constantly take Ls on his record. But he actually missed on a bunch of his picks. The sixers would be much better if a better drafter made those picks.
I could lose games if I was trying to. Just only field g league level talent and tank. The hard part is evaluating and drafting talent and also developing that talent.
Michael carter Williams, Jahlil Okafor are bad draft picks. Even Ben Simmons is questionable as he is a flawed player. The only great pick Sam ever made is Joel Embiid.

I like how SAS is dictating people who to interview and hire like he owns the franchise.

I’ve been going to wizards games for years now. The one thing I know is this, this franchise is on the verge of losing the fan base for good. There will be no coming back if they tank for 5 years like Max proposed. It will be over for them in DC

If im the Wiz, i look at 2020. there are a lot of players with player options and are FAs. Seriously.
2020 Player Option/ UFA 2020 RFA
Anthony Davis Jaylen Brown
Gordon Hayward Domantas Sabonis
Otto Porter Jr. Brandon Ingram
Jordan Clarkson Buddy Hield
Tim Hardaway Jr.
Andre Drummond
Eric Gordon
Jahil Okafor
DeMar DeRozan
So to me, thats a lot of possible options. Dont know when Wall’s contract is up, but if you trade Beal, tank and get a high draft pick next year, and sign 1 or 2 of these guys? how good could that be?
