Here is the fun part: the schedule starts to get brutal after Thanksgiving.

This team will be lucky to have four wins at the end of December.

It's funny, Kornheiser jokes that the team is a lock to start 9-20 every year.

It'd be a miracle if we started 9-20 this year with this abombination of a team.

not quite but still...

Ah, thanks. That must have been what I heard.

Horrendous

[the burgundy and gold]

Was Singleton brought in the 4th, cold, to play PF? I think I remember seeing him but I also saw Ariza in there. That seems a little insane to me. We would we go small with bad shooters against a team crashing boards and determined to get the ball inside?

Lol yeah just makes no sense to bring him in at that point. And why the hell did Webster get no run at all? New coach asap please. Along with every member of the front office.

[StillUnknown]

Burn it down and salt the earth.

I want a complete outsider, I trust no one in the front office currently drawing a check from the Wizards.

Bring a shaman in to chase out the evil spirits afterwards. Grunfeld has poisoned the well and it is not a matter of getting the right player or right coach. I think they need to bring in a and a no nonsense coach and GM that are going to crack the whip. I still remember reports last season of the team watching NCAA games pregame while the opponent (might have been the pacers) were watching game tape.

Ive already penciled in 0-10, their next best chance to win will be when Charlotte comes to town next Saturday.

If they dont win that game... man idk maybe Golden State on the 8th? That would be 0-17

Bobcats fans actually wore bags over their heads at one time. We may as fans have to start sending a message of total disgust (as has been suggested in this thread) to show just how sick of this we are. Sort of like how we got after Snyder so bad he started banning us from bringing signs into Fedex...

That's how I am now. I wan't too negative on Ernie and wouldn't have minded seeing Cassell, but after this start I'm fully on board with tearing down the whole system and starting all over.

[stevemcqueen1]

Why can't we be having this season during the Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker class?

This is a case where the one and done rule actually hurts us. We're getting a top three pick again.

At least Shabazz is going to play this year now. I think he's the only player that can make a difference for us.

The entire FO needs to go. Including the training staff.

After that, clear out a good portion of the roster. Keep Wall, Beal, Seraphin and maybe a couple other role players. Then pick Shabazz. After those drastic changes, then I could have some optimism again.

BTW Shabazz is about 6'6 in shoes with a wingspan just under 7' and weighed just over 220. SF?

[AsiaticSkinsFan]

Shabazz is a 2 guard, and yes I would take him over Beal right now. If we get a high enough pick, we could trade Beal and get some draft picks and players out of it... hmm.


But if we could some how suck enough to get Wiggins in 2014...

If you didn't get back decent value for Beal better to just keep him and play both him and Shabazz. You could get them each 35+ minutes easy on this turd of a roster.

Turns out Shabazz has almost the exact same measurements as James Harden. It's kind of eerie how similar they are physically, right down to being lefties.

Though everything I'm reading says the Shabazz is a tiny bit longer than Harden, is faster and more explosive, and is more of a go to scorer mentality. But I see him being that kind of swing man that can play the 2 or 3 like Harden does. Don't see him being able to run point like Harden though.

Shabazz looks strong and long enough to guard 3s to me. TBH, I wouldn't even care if he couldn't. We need offense more than anything. I'd play four guards if I thought it would help us score more than 80 points a game.

Bazz as a long wingspan too. I think its over 7 feet, so he could play the 3.

The reason why I say trade Beal, if it happens, is because we need picks and players. I think we could get a lot for Beal, but I get the argument of keeping him too.


I really wish we could get Wiggins tho. That boy is going to be the best player in the world barring an injury. No doubt in my mind about it.

[No Excuses]

Purge the entire roster and the entire front office. Even if it includes trading John Wall.

[BRAVEONAWARPATH]

Ya know, I'm probably going to be bashed for saying this but I don't care: I'd rather have Dan Snyder as the owner of the Wiz.

Yeah, I said it.

At least I know monetary considerations wouldn't prevent him from attempting to put a quality product on the floor.

Unfortunately, I can't say that about Ted.
