like i said, we didnt hear anything about his offers until after or not at all, meaning they probably werent good enough anyways. i wasn't a huge fan of bringing in carroll anyways. wasnt even sold of tobias but really wanted to see us try.

trading for retreads will only go so far. id rather roll the dice on a free agent. thats it. i like the baynes signing but its an overpay, slightly, but still an overpay
I agree with the trading but he is getting solid players for peanuts. He's easily won every trade he's done.
But you're right. We need a home run or something to make this a legit team. But I think he's built a really nice foundation. Maybe Stan becomes that home run. Who knows.

i like what we have, for sure. just dont think it's enough to make the next step. stan will need to pull the team together. just hope it works. its definitely a whole new team, attitude, and atmosphere.

Gotta figure Reggie and Dre make some improvements to their game.

im more hopeful about reggie and kcp than dre. hes an elite rebounder but im optimistic about how his offense will come along. he can still get us buckets by drop-offs and put backs. just dont know if he's ever gonna be a guy we can pass it to and let him score constantly.

I think he becomes somewhere between Deandre Jordan and Dwight Howard. Somewhere in the middle there.
I mean last year was really the first time he ever was given the ball and told to score, it wasn't pretty at times. But he showed me that he has potential. The little hook became pretty solid. Maybe around 17 PPG. We also signed that shooting coach, which could help him with his FT shooting. And he also seems like he has a new, more determined focus this offseason to get better.

I'm still really optimistic for him. I don't think he's gonna be a go to scorer or anything like you said, but I think he becomes much improved offensively.

Drummond should go to one Hakeems summer camps. It did wonders for Dwight and Amare.

I feel like he already has worked with him. Could be wrong though.

I wouldn't even send a big to work with someone like Hakeem.

The Washington Wizards have agreed upon a trade for Jared Dudley.

Dudley opted into his $4.25 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks on the final day before free agency.

Dudley will help the Wizards replace Paul Pierce.

The Bucks will receive a highly protected future round pick that will almost certainly become a second rounder.

He deserves it more than Asik does.
True I just can't see him as a 13mil player, increased cap or not lol

He wants the subway brother rivalry

That's a plus, as long as his defense and rebounding remains that's cool

Haven't watched much of him, other then the occasional, poster he's in

I expect them to resign Bargs, if/when it happens
