The Wizards Got Worse Last Night

- Deni Avdija was a growing young player on a valuable contract, the exact type of player a rebuilding Wizards squad should covet. Which is why I can't figure out why they traded him before the draft.

This is the worst decision the Wizards have made since giving Beal a Max contract. Deni could be perfect for their rebuild and could only keep increasing his trading value in case they wouldn't want to hold to him. a classical move of a new GM that takes for granted the fact he has a gem in the team with 'too good' contact to just give him away for the uknown.
agree on every point
Genuinely maddening. I understand we are rebuilding and want to be bad but trade Kuz, trade Tyus, trade Corey, why trade the best pick we’ve had in YEARS on a PHENOMENAL contract that will only get better as he improves. Being a wizards fan is pure hell. Why the fuck is Deni in Portland and Kyle Kuzma is still on my team? I don’t hate Kuzma but we could have 100% gotten a similar return for him + Corey or Tyus. Maddening. There’s absolutely no way I can try to rationalize this trade from a front office perspective, at least for the wizards. Portland got a good one.
YOURE TELLING ME THAT WE TRADED DENI AVDIJA FOR THE 14th PICK IN A DRAFT FULL OF TOBIAS HARRS’S?? I’m done bro.
I agree with everything you just said
They need to lose this year to get top pick in the 2 next drafts … deni will help them win and they dont want it
Next 2 draft full of talents
That’s probably why they did it
the only reason is " Deni became to good for a team tries to lose a lot th next 2 seasons and has a good value"
You’re correct
Here's tank management 101 for you all: become awful to move up the draft boards, then stay bad by trading whatever relevant assets you inherited from the previous regime in order to obtain as many high draft picks as possible in the coming years. Build a solid foundation around your own picks. Then, with the remainder of the pile, trade for established all-stars and compete for championships.
PS: This strategy will never work outside of North America because in foreign sports leagues, bad teams are relegated to lower leagues for the following season rather than receiving draft compensation, resulting in a slew of lost revenue from TV, sponsorship, and gate ticket sales, potentially leading to the organization's financial demise. That is why, if you do poorly, coaches and even management are frequently sent home mid-season to avoid a potential disaster.
I’d love relegation in the NBA. It’d be hilarious if
@@dlubofsky It could be quite nerve-wrecking for all involved, including the fans.
We are talking on a management that decided to pick up the fourth year option in Wes Unseld Jr contract just in October, so they are going to pay him full salary for 2024-5 season. Most of their decisions are bad the others are really bad and maybe 2-3 are ok. At least they got some assets for Deni. I was surprised that they signed on the contract last year. That's was there only smart decision.
Yeah. And then they traded that great contract for a reset 😂
@@dlubofsky
bad management can't keep something good, they must do something to ruined it. Anyway, don't really understand Wizards fans that keep telling me about OKC like it's a proof for greatness. I can agree that their former boss, Presti is a great GM, but he isn't there, just some guys that work for him like, Weaver who was really bad GM in the Pistons.
I think the problem was that he was probably TOO good and not young enough.
Wizards are going for another tanking year and building towards possibly being good in 3-4 years.
sure, they would have probably preferred to get rid of Poole and/or Kuzma, but it would have been much harder to get solid draft picks for them.
still probably a bad deal trading away a known solid young roleplayer for potential future picks, but since when have the Wizards management have been known to be competent
That’s what it seems like. Full tear down to go for the top guys next year
They also get a FRP in 2029 but yeah, it's a pretty strange deal.
woo?
Your missing the point.
They are looking to tank to try to get cooper. There are 4-5 teams who are in the sweep stakes. Debi makes them too good to tank
Deni *
That’s what I’m gathering as well
hes not even that good lol.. he plays soft. hes not a dawg. his numbers are inflated cuz hes the number 2 option on the wizards lol. instead we got a young lengthy point guard who has great pick and role IQ and plays the mid range like a poor mans SGA. deni isnt anything special lol.
He was a growing young talent on a descending great contract. You don’t trade that just to try it all again with another young guy
@@dlubofsky his ceiling wasnt gonna be high enough. its not like we're the clippers and just traded away SGA. Deni is not that good lol. sure he got better but hes still not someone to drool over lol. cant believe how desperate we got as wizards fans that we're crying over deni lmaoo.
@@dlubofsky bub carrington went 19/9/8 tonight. How bout dem apples!
@@yoopet1993 fingers crossed
@@dlubofsky I don’t need to cross my fingers for luck lol. I already know the trade was good for us.
Simple. Same as Giddy, he wanted to be traded, didn't love playing in a losing system with Poole. He got traded for a vet and a 1st. Move on.
One hundred percent Deni did not want to be traded, a week ago he participated in an article in his country and said how happy he is where he is and is looking forward to next season
idk if that's true
its a lie
He interviewed in an Israeli sports channel. It seems like he wasn't happy with the trade. So maybe it's not the case.
@@מקסים-ח4כאתה חמור קופץ בראש
מהלא נסבלים שלא מבינים וישר אומרים שזה שקר
Deni has a lower ceiling than you'd think so it makes sense that the Wizards might not have gotten the best deal.
Also they might flip Brogdon for Benedict Mauthurin so that'd be cool
lower ceiling doesn't automatically mean bad player. And why would Indy do that trade?
@@dlubofsky not saying Deni is a bad player, just that he's average and becuase of that the Wizards probably didn't consider him immovable and got the most value they could out of him. Bub might be the better player in the long run.
Also I don't know why Indy would give up Mauthurin for Brogdon but I saw a rumor about that so I thought I should mention it. The plan in Washington is likely to flip Brogdon for another first and/or a young player who fits their plans
@@JB-tl8rj he's a young player on the rise on a great contract. you don't trade that just for a reset
As a pacer fan… no, we had Brogdon we don’t want him back
@@maxgarrett8135I was bouta say how do you turn Brogdon into mathurin. As a blazers fan I definitely woulda done that
I dont know what you see with Deni. He can't dribble. Always charging to the basket even their are 4 defenders around him. Glad he got traded. He is the reason Wizards are losing and not Poole
LOL 🤡
Jordan poole burner account has been identified
agreed. this man is overrated. his numbers are inflated cuz hes the number 2 option on a really bad team lol.
what you on about. deni got every year after he got traded. Those number aren't inflated at all. Also was does trading him actually accomplish? Even if you don't like his game , it was way too early to trade him.
@@mrawesome7175 trading him accomplished getting more picks and drafting younger player at a position of need to develop lol.
