Bilal is our better version of Dort. And Truly pulling for Bub. I don’t think his story is written yet here. Trae is oft injured, and defensive is suspect. It took Johnson in ATL, Deni in Portland and White in Chicago (to name a few) a while to develop. We’ll be fine!
We have to keep bags & Vuch
Keep Bagley and make Gill an assistant coach.
They should be playing Bagley at 5 and Sarr at 4 on the floor at the same time
Anybody that thinks the Wizards are one pick away from starting to Contend is delusional. This team needs additional pieces. Keep in mind that this current Pistons team used to be really bad a few years ago but only 25% of the players from that bad year are still on the team. So Wizards have a long way to go
Bagley is a 5 on a small team, at a good price. Probably the next Winger blunder.
Y🏀!!!! My Brotherin 💪🏿 I'm okay with us getting an asset for Bags, But he'll be back next season. B.Coul the jig is up Slim, especially if we draft AJ or even Boozer. Injuries are hindering his growth and development. Bub is improving and his assists are up some, and you can't leave him open. Bud stock is up. Salute Comrades, Great Intel 🫡.
