Thanks Colby G!. #RileyJacobs

Nice to get to know a little more about you, Elijah! #WreckEm

Colby is the man! DMV hoops junkies enjoy his insights while you can... an NBA Front Office is going to steal him soon.

That's a great comparison. If we get that happy Wizards fans.

Excellent discussion

Great podcast as usual fellas!

Idea for much later: Since Sarr is 4, what type of C would best suit the Wiz? A bouncy guy ( ex Sampto Cyril), a big body protector ( ex: Maluach)? Or, a footwork guy ( ex: Hansen Yang)?

Jaden is special, y’all about to see 💯

Russell Westbrook Brad Beal Michael Jordan Chris Webber Dwight Howard. John Wall can come of the bench..

Jaden second season is going to be one for the books!!!

Matt is killin it with the local talent! Jaden is a flat out competitor 💪🏽 🔥

As Wizards fans would you rather have Cooper Flagg or Aj Dybansta?

Love this young man!

Awesome interview Coi .....you will be Amazing!!!!

Great interview. So proud of you. Can't wait for the season to start❤

Let’s Go! Can’t wait for the season to start

Lorenzo Williams was chillin 😂. Another big offseason addition from the Mavs 😂

I read the article too; It seemed more of clickbait to be controversial. I doubt the front office is looking at his performance in regret. Everyone needs to chill with Bilal, I hear Superstar in the making, I hear bust..the kid is fine, he's 20 years old, let him develop. In two, three years then when can start talking behind his back..until then, let that man cook. he was a mannequin during the olympics tho...By the way the City Edition Jersey's are 🔥🔥🔥 and I think Omoruyi is going to get cut.

They are not real wiz fans.. they don’t know basketball about Bilal…. Great defense of Bilal

I completely disagree lol

1:58 p.m. Welcome to Marquette Adrien. What a great interview. I enjoyed it very much. I am quite impressed with your maturity and intelligence and know you will totally fit in with Shaka and the team. Not only is Shaka a great coach but he is a very caring and wonderful human being and all of us Marquette fans here in Milwaukee absolutely love him. We are very lucky to have him as our coach. Everything you said in your interview pointed right back to Marquette and Shaka. On a side note, we have two great golf courses in wisconsin - whistling straights and sand valley. Welcome to the Marquette family.

Really smart and mature player with a good mindset. Would be a great match with Marquette

So let me get this straight. You work for the wizards, your cover the wizards with a fellow former player, you have ties to the wizards organization, you call yourself a real fan, but you say that we should cut Eugene, Johnny, and Pat Baldwin. Yeah makes sense. Fool

Great interview, Adrien is tha real deal!

I hope we keep Jonas, I don't know how we landed that. What if Poole turns the corner and figures it out this season and puts up 20+ PPG 40% from the field and 35%+ from 3? What if Bub, Bilal (non-factor for France..smh), Kispert become solid contributors? You know what you can get out off Kuz and Jonas is a Menace and Double Double guy. Brogdan is a Vet and can get in where he fits in pretty well on the teams he played on in the past. We have unselfish team players and a hard nose Players Coach. If the coaching staff is better than last year, unless they tank on purpose, I still don't see what everyone is seen as a definite 20 win team. Every team in the league makes moves to get better, but the Wizards seemed like they kept what worked and upgraded alot in areas they were weak. I think the Wizards can be a interesting team to watch this season. Even though I stated a bunch of What if's, unless you look at the Wizards past and hold it against them, there's no way people can look at the Wizards today and say there going to be a 20 win team. The roster and coaching staff is way too unpredictable...October can't come any faster..

Alex Sarr reminds me of Tyson Chandler.

Which teams risk going into the second apron next year? Those are the teams to target for Kuzma, Brogdon, Holmes, Bagley, and even Kispert deals. Too bad the Warriors got under, because Wiggins, unprotecting the 2030 first, and another first for Kuzma was possible. I'd keep JV around for a year-- Sarr is at least 25 lbs. of muscle away from being a center (and may 15 lbs. from being a 4)

Bubb Carrington thoo‼️😱MGOODNESS‼️ He's legit! Straight DOGG!

Blazers fan here. I believe Sarr will be great sooner rather than later. I also believe he needs to focus on the small things like boxing out, set good screens, remain disciplined on defense etc..be great at being a dog that does all the small things in which some won't show up in the box score, and like you fellas mentioned, playing with more physicality would serve him great. Then go hard at developing the skills that Wizards fans & staff got excited about prior to the draft. My last belief is that y'all got a good one! 🤟🏽

Welcome to Rip City Deni Lez Goooooo 🥀 #TrailBlazers🤍🖤❤️ 🇮🇱🇺🇸

I couldn’t agree more with check marks Matt!!! Just like I discussed with you on Twitter his soft play is the most frustrating part. I need aggression, physicality, that fire. You’re right we need less French & more American ass hole play😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂. Being aggressive is innate in my opinion so I’m concerned that it may not be in him but I’ll wait to see how he develops. PS screw Elon…I muted that mofo.

Bub Carrington is our best rookie that kid has superstar potential 🔥🔥 we got one with him.

Lol, That bum Clingan shut down your #2 pick. Priceless..

Sarr's lack of strength has him relying on the outside shoot at this point. He gets pushed around and can't get to the basket because he physically can't do it.

Sarr is not a 5. No one should think he is one. Clingan is a 5. He had a terrible ofensive game as well but he does rebound and block shots, something no Wizards player has done in a very long time.

It’s Summer League but damn that was tough to watch from Sarr. I’m kinda confused too about these lineup selections. I’m wondering if they sat Johnny Davis to increase his stock. Instead of cutting him, they could include him in different packages like a Tyus sign and trade. Idk. This Front Office keeps me guessing. The best thing I’ve seen so far was Bub. I see him as a 2 Guard than a 1. He reminds me of a Rookie Brad Beal. Nearly same age and build. I would love to see Poole at the 1, In Bub we trust at the 2, Bilal at the 3, Kuz at the 4, and Jonas at the 5. Still this early we all need to see more..

0-15 is so damn bad. Has to sting.

DARIUS!!!!!! Man I’m so happy you’ve had Woody and Darius in here. Two stellar people interviewed by one of the dmv’s best hoop fanatics !

Good episode. I just saw a Cody Toppert Interview, he seems sharp. With the little knowledge I have with him, the Go-Go didn't do too bad with him last year. I'm sure Coach Keefe interviewed him for an Assistant spot and if he passed on him then I have high hopes for the assistants that he did hire. Curious how he does in Summer League.

I have listened to maybe ten episodes now and its so hard for me to wait to listen until im doing my cleaning side job. This pod has the real sauce!

Hit like burton subscribe support matt

Matt, thank you for giving AU basketball some love and so glad Jackie came to coach at AU.

Good takes

Saar grabbed 4.5 rebounds in 18 min/gm last season. Does that make him a bad rebounder?

I agree with Jahidi but we don’t need Deni’s versatility right now. I think it was smart to move on from him. It was never going to be his team and I am not sure he was a good long term fit.

As the days went on I started realize Deni had to be traded to get Sarr. I look at it now as, we didn't trade Deni for Bub, but more of, we picked Sarr over Deni. Deni and Sarr can't coexist. Sarr doesn't want to be a 5 even though he might play 5 situationaly, his primary would be a 4. Deni is young and trying to work into his prime, I don't see his ego taking a step back and playing off the bench now or even when Sarr develops. I also think this is being looked at wrong. Kuz didn't get traded because Kuz is better than Deni so they sought to pick the least better between Deni and Kuz which would solve the log jam at the Starting 3 position to be traded. I usually agree with Jahidi but finally I have something to disagree on...I also don't think there trying to tank. Having Poole at the 1 Bilal at the 2 Kuz at the 3 Sarr at the 4 and Jonas at 5 is not the worst team in the league. There may not be alot of scoring but there would be a lot of defense with that line up. Good defense can open the door for the offense. The Wizards seem like there building a complete team with decent coaching. Given there not a Clippers type team with a bunch of stars..but more of a younger and modern 23-24 Magic type team (that's not saying much), but they don't look like a under 20 win team. I think we need to watch and find out..wins are hard to judge at this point..💯...this episode was tough..I needed some therapy after the Deni trade...

The way that I look at this is that the Wizards do not want the first round pick to convey to the Knicks this year or next year. The goal is to pick young upside picks, clear out salary space in future years, collect addition picks, give the young players a chance to get some playing time, and focus on a 4 or 5 year horizon. The 2029 Portland #1 is just another tradable asset. It may be a move that the Wizards come to regret, but as versatile as Dani is, I don't think he is a cornerstone.

Yo My Brotherin, So disappointed. Right Now!!!!. We traded the wrong playa, we developed "23"him Skilled, could lock 🔒 you up and has a solid contract, Major head scratcher, Salute 💪🏿.

Matt, you and Jahidi are tops!!! Very insightful and provided a very mature analysis of the game. It's amazing to see how Jahidi's perspective on basketball is still relevant and on point! You both work well together...LUV U GUYZ!!!

I'm not an expert in NBA contracts but according to what i have been heard as much as Deni contract is really good today, it's really bad for the team that id going to possessed him in his next contract. Bird rights have limits: i think something close 40% more then the last year so it will be something like 16.5 per year, so any team under the maximum salary cap can offer him much more money. There are conditions that can allow him better offers under the Larry birds right (marks like allstar appearance or personl prize), so maybe Portland believe that Deni is going to achieve this marks and the Wizards don't. Mike Schmitz, a former ESPN analysis, is working in the Blazers today and he was known as a guy that believes in Deni greatness.
