I hope not. Otto is a good player and a starter. Oubre and Brown aren't starters.

Wizards fans on twitter are obsessed with using Otto to get Cousins. Do they not see that plodding post players do not fit the modern game? Especially one coming off perhaps the worst injury you can have in pro-sports?

Ideally they keep all the wings and Satoransky

And they get a guy like Noel or O'Quinn or someone like that to play C...

If Mahinmi and Morris are jettisoned in a package, I'd be happy with that too

I dunno why wizards fans like to hold onto Porter like he's royalty. Iirc there were stretches early in the season where Oubre was given better performances off the bench than Porter. Porter while a good player and better than Oubre, has significant flaws and his passiveness(or maybe inability to create his own shot) really hinders him. BF and realgm likes him because he's quiet, low usage and can remain blameless while passing the blame on Wall and now even Beal for everything from personal life to IQ. Always got a hint of :mjpls: when I hear folks online discuss Wall. Maybe because most (not saying you) of the people commenting likely dont care for outspoken black men but I digress

Cousins can fit in the modern NBA. The Wizards will have to significantly modify their playbooks but the wizards have to try to do something. Cousins to DC has been spoken upon for the past 8 years. Cousins with no foot would be better than any center or big we have had since maybe Chris Webber:francis:

On another note, heard the Wizard number 1 pick in this past draft, has changed his Jersey number from 0 to 6 :sas1:












Cousins wears number is 0:sas2:


Oubre is from Louisiana but the numbers works well with Porter from a trade standpoint

Taken from 'Clippertalk' :pachaha::picard:



Oh, my gosh, Austin takes right after his father with all of this flim-flam. Don't want to be so cruel to say, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out," or "Hasta la vista, baby," or even "Austin, who?" But he thought that people accepted him and gave him a chance when it was his father's doing all the time (and said it with a straight face). He should've said, "Thanks to my father for getting me that $35 mil/3 year contract when I wasn't given a rookie extension with New Orleans. I'd like to thank my father for saving my butt when I got traded to Boston and Danny Ainge was going to cut me and end my career. I'd like to thank my father or else I'd be playing in the G-League without even a two-day contract, or I'd be traveling around Europe trying to make a few bucks."

"I'd especially like to thank my father for handing me the starting guard spot. He had to put me on the bench when he saw how good Milos Teodosic was, but the second that Milos was injured, he put me in the starting line-up, gave me more minutes than everyone except DeAndre. He overlooked my faults and gave me plenty of playing time, while he excoriated other players for doing less than the same thing. He let me jack up shots with impunity, watching others players either snuff my shots back into my face or watched me toss up shots that hit the side of the backboard. He watched me trip over my two feet or stumble around when the intensity became too much. He yelled out plays for me, forcing the other players to give up the ball. He allowed me to play point guard, even though I didn't have any point guard skills. He allowed me to play shooting guard, even though I couldn't shoot the ball. I'd have the occasional San Antonio-type game, which stuck into his memory to the point that he felt that if he continued to give me unwarranted minutes, I'd be able to duplicate those feats with regularity."

"I'd like to thank my father for calling me a 'defensive specialist', even though I stood around and ball watched or pointed and told other players where to go. If I saw a play developing, I'd latch onto the big man and act as if I had been screened off my man. I'd scream out for help to my teammates who were barely getting into their defensive stances. They'd get caught off guard and my man would score. I'd toss my arms up in anger, look towards the bench where my father was, and then pound the ball before taking it out and then slowly moving the ball upcourt."

"In the end, I'd like to thank the fans, but you didn't really matter. My pops did. No matter what happened, he always had my back, even if it was at the expense of winning and our team."
