I truly believe they have Jordan Poole and that massive contract so there can be no thought of “tanking.” I think adding expensive talented players who are to immature to lead a team but could but won’t, is a great way to lose without backlash and get you what you want. You don’t have to worry about the culture Jordan want’s because you’ll dump him when you need to, and the fans can’t say you purposely lost games cuz well “we got up and comer Jordan Poole who helped golden state to a ring and Kyle Kuzma it just didn’t work”
They got him to sell tickets, he’s a fun player
I’m available for tanking at an even higher salary 👌
Wizards got a winning mentality with Kuzma and Poole. What’s there to dislike?
Might as well let Johnny BBall Davis get those minutes for waaaaay cheaper
most non casuals knew he was gon be tank commander
Did anyone not know this? We were already calling him tank commander in the off-season.
Dude you’re a genius.
Damn, thats some 4d chess the Wizards are playing. Its like Draymond getting a 5 games suspension saves the Warriors $2.5 mils in tax.
I have witnessed first hand the Wizards tanking power just a few days ago, and it is impressive. Somehow Raptors came back from a 20pts deficit in the 4th quarter
Was anybody under a different impression? When the trade went down seemed like most people saw this as the Wizards getting their tank commander with slight potential upside as an asset flip.
Not to mention we got Warriors 2030 1st Rounder.
It’s protected but it’s still a 1st
Look at albert einstein over here
They already sucked at least now they can be in the lottery and get some talent.
Well that’s dumb, surely they don’t think it will be simple to move off of that albatross contract?
no way bro
They are trying to rehab his value so they can flip him a year or so down the road. You gotta spend money on somebody so might as well kick the tires on a young player.
