Wall is 24

Beal and Porter just turned 22

The problem with the Wizards isn't their young core its Ernie Grunfeld's inability to find a PF to replace Nene and Ernie Grunfeld's horrible skills at asset management to building depth.

Load up on big men because you're scared of Nene getting hurt but lose out on wings which hurts you in the postseason vs. ATL playing small ball brehs
I thought y'all would get Bobby Portis

Would've been the perfect fit for you. Oubre doesn't make sense with the emergence of Otto

I agree..


However, you can never have enough wings now a days though and Oubre has a higher ceiling even though Portis would help today

Plus, you have to remember. Webster is finished. Temple is a one way player. Pierce is out the door. Behind Otto, we have no backup SG or SF worth speaking about.

But then again, this is because of Grunfeld's horrible management.

ATL


:russ: at that D.Rose/ Hinrich pg combo

@AVXL @steezy @I Got Werk @Dominique Wilkins

Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich has exercised his player option worth $2.8 million to return next season, league sources told RealGM.

Hinrich, 34, has spent 10 of his 12 NBA seasons with the Bulls. He re-signed with the Bulls on a two-year contract last offseason.
In 66 games last season, Hinrich averaged 5.7 points, 2.2 assists and 1.8 rebounds while shooting 34.5 percent from three-point land. The Bulls have long valued Hinrich’s defense, ball handling and offensive structure.

The 6
The Raptors have 20+ mill in cap space, so it's not like we're bringing back the same roster. Can't say that they'll regress until we see how that money is deployed.

Embarassing performance? We made the ECF for the first time in team history. Yea the Cavs series was disappointing but overall how was it underwhelming/embarassing? And how can you compare us to the Raptors who got swept in the first round with home court? I swear some of y'all don't watch games
my bad I meant the Raptors performance was embarrassing. Hawks was just disappointing. From taking 6 games to beat the mediorce Nets, barely beating the Wizards even though their best player Wall missed 3 games, to getting swept. Not too impressive run by the 1st seed:ld:

Orlando has the most young talent in the east. Now that they have a real coach, I think they're a lock to make the playoffs. Give Hezonja a few years to develop and they could be the best team in the east soon.
