The Official Washington Wizards Thread

His worse is better than this **** Ted/Ernie have put out or will be able to put out in the future.

He's better than anyone we've got right now. But it's clear to me he's not a good #1 and paying and playing him like he is will be a mistake for Houston.

We're horrible, but a move like settling for Harden doesn't really get us anywhere. Better to take a lotto ticket on young talent like Beal and Singleton and retain flexibility than cap ourselves off at mediocre like Houston did. We can trade Beal at any point if something better comes along.

Hornets have the 30th ranked defense, we have 15 total points, 3 minutes into the 2nd quarter

Beal's value may have been highest pre-draft. I hope not, but it's a probability that cannot be ignored.

Can't give Anderson an inch

hey Vesely has been found

[Destino]

Beals value now is no where near what it was predraft and there are no star players available for trade let alone for Beal and Singleton.

Any guarding the primary ball handlers apparently. Words fail.

and now Vesely airballs another free throw

You know what? **** Ted.

[stevemcqueen1]

What? Fg% is down .062 but his scoring is up by 8 points. I'm sorry but you're just wrong, 24 points per game at .429 is worth the contract. What makes your statement even worse is that the wizards desperately needed that level of scoring and have absolutely NO OTHER WAY OF GETTING IT.

Would you give Monta Ellis that deal? Rudy Gay? Paying players like this that kind of money is how you top out as a 7th or 8th seed.

How closely have you been following him this year? He hasn't been that good and is a legit disappointment as a #1. He is just not a #1 player on a contender and the Rockets are going nowhere. He's gone from being a great shooter to a poor shooter.

It's not just his shooting that's down, but almost all of his numbers except assist rate and PPG, from PER to WS/48 which is way down from last season. He's a complimentary player not a franchise player.

[MonkFan8]

Maybe we should find a way to get Beal more shots?

Vesely is the worst player I've seen in the NBA. Literally no redeeming factors. Doesn't do a single thing well. Put him in the ****ing D-league already.

Harden is not a star player.

[Duckus]

I actually feel sorry for Vesely.

[stevemcqueen1]

Davis throwing his elbows around. Surprising.

[Destino]

Harden is not a star player.

I'm not going to argue the sky being blue with you. The numbers are there.

[stevemcqueen1]

Flop. Give him a warning.

[MonkFan8]

Might be just a definition issue. Personally I don't think Harden is a max player, either. Star? Probably, considering how weak the 2 guard position is in the league.

Really nice game from Beal. Good work to get the and-1 there at the end. No idea how we're not down 20.
