We’re going to cover the recap for the loss in Golden State but this was a reunion for Jordan pulley back in the Bay Area and he was he got he got a lot more cheers and booze let me tell you in a tribute video so uh we’re definitely
Going to recap the game and look at the particulars how we lost and how the young guys did and then we’re gonna look at can the Wizards get a first round pick for Kyle kman he’s got a lot of suitors out there so we’re gonna talk
About that and then at the end we’re gonna chop it up like we always do so the Washington Wizards dropped Friday night uh to the Golden State Warriors 129 to8 and like we always say different game same script first half was very very close um the Wizards actually I
Mean kept it very close in the first half and then the second half uh yeah third quarter they outscored us 38 to 22 and we tried to bring it back in the fourth quarter but the damage was done I’m looking at some particulars I looked at again different game same script
Rebounding was an issue for the Wizards again uh we got Al rebound at 64 to 47 including offensive rebounds they out rebounded us 14-9 so rebounding again was a issue now looking at the stats for our starting five waiting on it to pop up there we go
Um let’s get into it uh tus Jones 14 points six from eight from the field two for two from three uh three rebounds and six assist so tyus Jones um has been playing really well lately um he’s been playing really good basketball and obviously you know if you’re looking at
It from a trade standpoint yeah he’s getting his value up but as far as his fit at starting point guard he is starting to simulate into the starting point guard position man he is definitely doing his thing uh he did well now obviously look Stephen Curry is
A tough cover from most people in the league he’s just he is I mean proba in my opinion one of the best Shooters all time but you know he definitely knows how to play some ball man and you know he was a man on the mission tonight but
I like what I saw overall from tyus Jones but let’s get into Jordan P obviously this is his reunion going back to Golden State um it was a Pity that Draymond Green was suspended that really would have been a heck of a game to
Watch but look at at Jordan P um he had his good moments he had his bad moments and but let’s let’s let’s dig into it uh 25 points overall but efficiency was bad seven for 21 from the field shooting three for2 from three-point range um he did shoot
Eight for n from free throws um at the charity strike but and only one turnover but I mean efficiency again was bad man I mean he there a lot of ill advised shots and I’ll say this man um I feel like I’ve said this many times but
Jordan P I like him as a young player man but he’s got some learning to do as far as what really bothers me about him and Kyle kman to a certain degree great is that they don’t utilize the shot clock you know there’s many examples last night but you know bring the ball
Up and then transition shooting a three it’s just it should happen man I mean he has to do better with utilizing the shot clock him and Kyle kman tend to be bad for this man they’re bad with you know lit shooting the ball early in the shot
Clock and you know they’re ilis shot so not only are you not utilizing the shot clock you’re shooting ili shots to where the the likelihood you making it is is pretty much that nil and you’re pretty much giving the ball back to the other team so they have to get better with
Moving the ball around you know not shooting the ball off transition every single time because he did a few times man I know one time he did a Friday night man um it was an air ball or I believe it hit the backboard but I mean
I mean he’s got to get better with that man he’s got to get better with shooting ili shots I know that you know last night obviously his first game back back being in Golden State you know was trying to make a statement you know I don’t think it’s a statement he really
Wanted to make man because efficiency was terrible uh Denny seven points four rebounds four assists um very underwhelming now the last game he got a double double I feel like he really turned the corner as far as you know he’s kind of in a rut you know he’s he
Kind of struggling and you know he struggled again two for five you know only five attempts so you can’t say too much the shot attempts you only got five and he found other ways to contribute you say that the same thing about him and balow you know they’re very similar
As far as you know the points are sporadic right but they contribute in other ways you know we’re going to talk about b in a little bit but you know Denny tribute in other ways four rebounds four assists but you know not a lot of shot attempts and you know if you
Look at 21 shot attempts from Jordan p and 11 from kosman you know you kind of see why but um so Denny underwhelming yes but look we know the ml with the stting five and Kyle kusma seven points nine rebounds now he did grab nine boards you know he was very active on
The boards man but shot again you know just like Jordan p shot was not dropping 311 from the field one for five overall um had a injury scare so we’re going to definitely let you guys know what his status is going forward but very underwhelming you know in 24 minutes
Played and Daniel Gafford 15 points four rebounds got a steal um little bit underwhelming compared to the game he had in Portland but you know and definitely considering the fact that you know if you look at who they had as Center you know across from him you know
Um Kavon only played 11 minutes uh Five Points five rebounds so I feel like he could have did more but I like the performance from Daniel Gafford because I don’t know if you guys have seen Daniel gav man but you know my wife kind of made the comment that you look like
He got a little weight on him you know maybe he’s really trying to secure that starting center position and he has you know he has things he needs to change but buling up is definitely a step in the right direction you know if he really wants to bang in there with a lot
Of these bigger and more athletic bigs I definitely recommend you you know him getting into the weight room getting bigger um definitely add some muscle and I think that’s a definitely good uh decision on his part but a stting five you know very underwhelming I mean the Shan attempts the biggest my biggest
Issue is this y’all is that if you look at at Jordan p in and kma I like both of their games man but we know what the mo is high usage lot of shot attempts and I think this really really really damaged the Wizards tonight man because if you
Look at again look if you look at the shot attemps you know for Jordan p for 21 three for 12 from three and you look at kozma three for 11 so the efficiency really really hurt the starting five um so looking at the bench real quick BL
Kabali 32 minutes now 32 minutes he actually led the team and minutes played Seven Points three rebounds two assists three for eight from the field one for two from three you know you don’t see the hesitancy you know I I get it you know you look at the stat line you’re
Like man it was a very underwhelming night but you know him and Denny the the shot you know they’re not hesitant you know you definitely want to see them being more aggressive but they’re not hesitant to take that shot and that’s what you want to see for both of them
That you know the offensive side for both bow and Denny are getting there they’re getting there and it’s going to take a lot of playing time it’s going to take experience now I get it this is not Denny’s first year this is actually his fourth year but offensively you do see a
Different player you know consistency is the biggest issue him consistently being a threat offensively as opposed to defensively and the same thing bow you know both of their offensive games will come you know it’s going to take playing time and you know definitely after the deadline you’re gonna see a lot more
Playing time for both of those gentlemen um Cory kitur had a really good game seven for5 for the field two for seven for three but 18 points you know he was aggressive shooting the ball you know this is you know he definitely tried to keep the Wizards in the game uh looking
At a few more people I like what I saw from Anthony Gil and Ryan Rollins uh they both played 10 minutes each but eight points for Gil and seven points for Rollins um shamut coming back from injuries so I’m not going to say too
Much um 0 for two did not score but he’s definitely trying to get his legs back coming back for injury definitely trying to get back in the game shape and Mike muscala very very underwhelming two points uh but six rebounds one for five from the field so you know what to
Expect from him he can spread the floor but you know as far as you know Manning the paint he has issues doing that especially against bigger centers and you know he he can definitely shoot you know six rebounds he got in there he got boards so overall very underwhelming
Game you know I felt like you know the first half we definitely stayed with them but second half man um adjustments at halftime continues to being an issue and you know it see like I said different game same script you know the lack of adjustments at halftime
Really hurt us and by the time we tried to make a comeback in the fourth quarter it was way too late so again you know Jordan P coming back home to the Bay Area um he did get a lot of Cheers I’m sure there was a few boos out there but
A lot of Cheers got a tribute vi video lot of love from the Bay Area so he’s much loved in the Bay Area but you know he tried to play hard against Golden State but you know he just missing shots and inefficiency and like I said he’s a
Young guy man um I’m trying not to be too critical on Jordan P because he’s a young guy and I say this again he’s a young guy who has a lot of upside you know obviously defensively he’s not gonna be a defensive stop Gap ever but
Offensively he can be a good scorer in his League he hasn’t his prime yet but the biggest thing is efficiency man you know he has to shoot high percentage shots you know cannot continue to shoot the ball off a transition man you know you’ve got to utilize the shot clock
There’s a shot clock for a reason and the the same goes for Kyle kman you know Kyle kman yes he is a scorer um normally you can depend on him to consistently put up 20 plus points a night you know his ability to use his frame to drive
The lane but efficiency continues to be an issue for both of these guys and so going forward man I want to see them being more High efficient players man um don’t it’s one thing to be a score I get it man um most scores their attempts are
Are high but you have to shoot high percentage shots you’ve got to utilize the shot clock and you got to utilize the guys around you man you know definitely try to get Denny AIA more involved um you know Daniel Gafford you know he’s a lob guy you know he is what
He is he’s very limited in my opinion but you know he’s trying to evolve offensively you see that but with him gaining weight you know he’s definitely going to be mostly a LW threat in the defensive presence in the paint and tyus Jones you know um can they get him a you
Know as point guard I’m going to say can they get him more involved but um I feel like he’s doing really really good he’s been playing well um so I like what I see from tus Jones but efficiency has to get better y’all so uh we’re gonna
Really look at can the Wizards get a first round pick for Kyle kman and what are the best fits in my opinion to move Kyle kman if they indeed want to move him at the deadline but before we do tonight’s episode is brought to you by

Says Wizards Kyle kma is valued by NBA exec could return a first rounder so this is from this comment is from Jake fiser of Yahoo sports and he wrote the fouryear 90 million deal that kman signed in free agency is considered quite valuable among rival personnel and could bring back some legitimate first
Round draft capital for the rebuilding Wizards so looking at that um there’s one thing to cover first before we get into destinations and could this happened well you know one I think that most people knew that going into the season the MMO was this was a really
Team fre deal because eventually he was gonna get moved you know what I mean so you know there’s some fans out there that think he’s gonna be here longterm and and I admit that I am a big fan of Kyle kumma and you know I love his
Personality I you know I love how he rolls man you know you know as a player I love how he plays you know obviously you know I know you guys feel like you’ve heard this a thousand times from me efficiency um but you know a lot of
Attempts I get it but cck has really became or become a complete player here in DC as opposed to being a role guy in La so you know you know you can’t be surprised by this you know the emo was eventually he was going to get moved you
Know there was reports that the organization in kma were very transparent with each other saying that you know he should expect to be traded with at some point in his in his contract it was never meant for him to be here long term you know you know like
It I love it you know I’m a big fan of him but we knew it from you know from the get that he was a tradeable contract and now it said that Jordan P similar situation and you know um he kind of viewed himself as being the guy where
The coord station said hold on man you know we kind of view him as an asset and so I get that um so some can we get a first round pick for him absolutely you know there’s a team that’s going to need his scoring prowess going into the
Playoffs you know um some some fits and definitely comment below let me know what you guys think man uh what are the best fits to me number one Sacramento King Kings I think that he that Sacramento Kings the year that we uh traded Russell Westbrook to the Lakers
He was this close to going to Sacramento and then we um we swooped in and made a deal sending Russell Westbrook to the Lakers for Kyle kma and tman another players uh kcp you know let’s go on um last year in offseason there was rumored that the kings were looking at kusman I
Would definitely consider that move you know you some guys look at Davon Mitchell you know future point guard you know he’s a guy who can he definitely can play defense which is something that we miss at the point guard position David y Mission would be somebody to
Look at maybe an aspiring deal Harrison Barnes aspiring deal and maybe a pick first round pick man you know that’s something to consider um number two Dallas Mavericks and you know I think he can fit with the Dallas Mavericks now I don’t have the roster on me right now
But off the top of the head ah you have to really look at the roster to see who we could consider getting back maybe aspiring deals uh picks maybe in play but um you got to think that with the Kings and the Mavs man the picks aren’t
Going to be sexy picks per se because they are in the in the pursuit of a playoff spot so but no look at this point we’ll take any any ja draft asset we can get right because we are in a rebuild um number three the Lakers you
Know there’s a lot there’s there’s some news out there that the Lakers may be interested in bringing him back to LA you know could he fit but again looking at the roster I you know I think that there’s not a lot of young assets with the roster so you’re probably looking at
A you know I don’t you really looking at their picks man they’re hurting on picks so you’re probably looking at aspiring deals so I don’t see the Lakers deal as plausible man because you know right now we’re looking at draft capital and the Lakers man they burned most of the draft
Capital trying to get talent to surround ad and uh Lebron James but number four the Indiana Pacers they could the Indiana Pacers could definitely use him now draft Capital could be could definitely happen and you know again definitely comment below look at the roster tell me what you got you know
What players would you like to see the Wizards get in return or are you looking at strictly draft Capital but I think those are four destinations and it could be more than merge but to me you know the Knicks have been named out there you know but it’s interesting to see what
The Knicks do um there’s been a lot of news with you know as far as what is the future for RJ Barrett in New York um Donovan Mitchell is not happy in Cleveland could they make a play for Donathan Mitchell so just like the deals for um Damen Lillard and James Harden
You know I was a believer that the Wizards should have been trying to be that third team you know because right now you’re looking at the roster where we’re trying to find playing time for a lot of these veteran guys on inspiring deals like tus Jones galinari you know
Dlon Wright and try to flip them as opposed to trying to find minutes for these young guys and they’re starting to five minutes for BL like I said BL LED all minutes for the Wizards so you know trying to find that balance you know I
Think being a third team in a deal maybe for Donan Mitchell would try you know would help us get a lot of these veteran guys off and then try to get playing time for some of these young guys you know Johnny Davis when he gets back for
Injury what is his future you know um blow definitely he getting his minutes and he should man I I think we should definitely look at him being a two guard after the deadline but can we get it first absolutely you guys let me know what you think man definitely comment
Below let me know you know do you think can we get a first round pick for K I think we can and tell me what is the best destination in your opinion Sacramento to me looks like the most sexiest pick because d Mitchell man now one thing about daveon Mitchell real
Quick his age does he really fit into the timeline we’ll see man um because realistically we’re looking at three to four years of a rebuild so and then we all know and I I get it I don’t want to bring it up but the move the eventual
Move or the potential move to Virginia so it kind of behooves him to kind of speed this rebuild up a little bit right because you got to pay for that rent over in VA man so um definitely let me know what you guys think so we’re going to get into comments man definitely
Appreciate you guys we got 24 people in I get it man it’s a Saturday um last night wasn’t feeling too hot man um definitely shout out to my guy the real dead Ol Man hold me down for the Trailblazers game wasn’t feeling too hot man you know the flu went through the

Appreciate you guys tonight man um showing up with me tonight let’s start with Luke Feldman what’s good with you man he says that Patrick Baldwin Jr and TJ d i I’m thinking that is Jackson Davis and I I gota agree with you man it’s not looking so great could he used
Tjd as the fourth or fifth here in DC dude was outworking Gafford in mcow I was thinking that the entire time watching the game man I mean this kid can play some ball man and he and we drafted him you know we flipped him and
I you know yes in my opinion yeah Trace Jackson Davis man right now he averages around four points a game a little under one assist and around three and a half rebounds but you know at 69 245 he uses his size well he does I mean his stat
Line man last I mean he looked good last night he was out working him he put in some work last night y’all so yeah I agree with you man that that was a move where it’s like ah cuz he was a good Prospect coming out of Indiana Man 10
Points 15 rebounds man five for seven from the field one block so yeah that that was definitely a Folly move in my in my opinion um so yeah I totally agree with you man appreciate the comment thean what’s good man can’t believe P shot us out of the game and West did
Nothing about it but fold his arms and you gum yeah I mean not everything’s on West but I’ll say this man you know he’s got to control that you know the the these shots that Jordan p is shooting I get it you’re you’re facing your former team
You don’t you you don’t want to be a you want to be Electric in the bottle man but you got to utilize the shot clock I I don’t understand shooting an NIS three off a transition it just it it just it you know I don’t even to say y’all like
There’s moments where Jordan P looks really good you the first shot of the game Jordan P look he looked like he was locked in and when he hit that first mid-range I was like okay it’s about to be a good night for Jordan p man because he’s going against his former team and
But then he you know he’ll shoot these crazy shots and it’s like bro what are he doing man like come on man help me help you like like stop man you know you got to utilize the shot clock I feel like I’ve said it 100 times tonight but
You have to you know there’s a shot clock for a reason you have to utilize you cannot spend three seconds off of it and then shoot a Eli shot and kakun could be bad for it too man but Jordan p man he’s got to shoot high percentage
Shots you don’t have to play herob ball every time down the floor man you He’s got potential he’s just somebody’s got to ring him in you know you know you can look at West Jr yes you at Kyle kma being that leader yes but somebody’s got
To Reign him in man you know he cannot continue yes I believe you know I agree with you I believe he did shoot us out the game man and you know he’s got to do better with that um Lamar odm interesting name definitely appreciate you man um the Wizards if the Wizards
Can do a Kyle kma trade or excuse me man if Wizards do trade kozma it definitely will be for multiple first- round picks and a solid player he’s a proven contributor to a championship team and a great locker room guy on a good contract
I agree with most of it I I do agree um he’s he’s a great locker room guy um he has been a leader um he has been a proven contributor to a championship team um with the lak show man but multiple I don’t see it I do see one
First round picking maybe an inspiring deal or a young player excuse me in return but I don’t see multiples but I do think that they have an opportunity to get a young player back and that’s why I said you know to me the Kings I like Davon Mitchell I think that you
Know a point guard who can defend who is Pur purely about distribution will be good for this team but you know we’ll see because you know Jordan p is he the point guard of the future for this team it remains to be seen and I’ll see right
Now you know turnovers H ofi shots you know maturity a lot of factors you know I don’t think he’s ready right now you know so we’ll see but I I agree man I definitely think we can get draft capital for Kyle kman and it’s looking
Like you know he might be dealt at the latest in the off season but he’s definitely going to get looks at the deadline man so that’s definitely going to speed up this rebuild and get us some more draft assets um Lamar odm again happy holidays everybody definitely hey
Appreciate it you know definitely hope everybody has a bless holidays man um let’s get into some more comments bullets Nation what’s good JP losses the game he was awful he tried to do what Steph did and it resulted in three air balls from him his shot selection was
The worst it’s been entire I agree his shot selection has to get better man because you know I get it you’re playing your former team man but there’s a reason why they you’re former team and like you said not trying to throw any shade on Jordan P I was very excited him
Coming over there was a time when I thought he was part of the future um obviously the organization doesn’t feel the same um it you know that’s subject to change u based on performance but he’s trying to do too much you know that that that’s pretty much it he’s trying
To do too much you know you don’t have to play herob ball when it’s not warranted you know he’s trying to do too much so I definitely agree his shot selection lost us the game man um is he the sole reason no but I mean he’s a big
Reason you know the ili shots are hurting us man hurting us uh bullets Nation again don’t know if you saw the rumors but Rockets magic are ined in TI yes I did see that uh the rockets and a Nicks want Gafford talks of a first for tus which I did not
Expect yes this is this is exciting news because man we need all the draft Capital we can get right um definitely flipping a lot of these expiring deals now you know looking at um the new I did see the rumors of the Houston Rockets um Orlando Magic I did not that’s
Interesting but it kind of makes Shi your head how many point guards do you need in Orlando man unless you’re trying to give us two for one deal I mean I just don’t see how many point guards and guards you need in Orlando man but the
Fit you know really Houston is a good fit for tius man you know I always thought that Houston maybe the Clippers were a good fit uh the Knicks want Gaff you know what like I like Gaff I really do but here’s the thing man um this is a business this is a performance-based
Business um Gafford can shot block man what was it six blocks against the Portland trbl especially against you know fighting against Aiden which Aiden did win that matchup if you look statistically but if you look at history Daniel Garin had a really good night but he’s very limited you know in this
Modern NBA man you know you got to be able to spread the floor he’s tried but you know he’s gaining weight you know he’s getting that muscle in there uh I think that he can be a productive Center in the NBA but can he be a starter of
The future I I don’t see it yet man um I think he can fit New York I think that would be a really good trade we can try to get a young player back because right now it’s about valuating young players trying to get much asset and young
Players back and evaluate them and move from there man so I think there’s a lot of potential in New York for Daniel Gafford man um so like you said talks of first for tias I did I didn’t expect that man but if you can get a first
Round pick for tus hopefully get a first round pick or definitely get a first round pick for KY kman man you’re definitely filling up the cupboard for draft capital for the future for this organization which is what we need and what we want right the unknownism I believe that’s what it
Is um at this point trade everybody and get rid of unsell get as much draft Capital as possible amen I agree with you brother I I I think that right now you get rid of everybody except for bow and you know Denny just got his bag but
You know look I believe you know and I know there’s some be some people gonna be mad at me but you know everybody is tradable in my opinion outside you know outside bow Kali um Denny you know he has evolved you know he’s definitely you know worked on his offensive game now is
He is he a complete package right now no but he’s definitely put the work in but you got to honestly look at it man you know hate them or love him you know everybody on this team outside below is a tradable asset right now and they
Should be you know because we are I I believe the next year is year one of a rebuild but this is a transitional year but we are early on in a rebuild you know we have to get draft assets we have to get young players and evaluate them
Because again if you look at certain Financial moves made by ownership you know you don’t make a major move to V the Commonwealth of Virginia and and you don’t f a comp a competitive team you know you cannot go to VA man because that obviously we all know and I’m not
Gonna get into it but that’s obviously high price area man look you got to have a contender because people aren’t going to show up and pay crazy prices for tickets if they’re if they’re stinking man you know it behooves them to make this a competitive team by 20128 so
Right now is the time to get draft assets and young players so DM Fe for Life said at the if the Knicks went Gafford they can have him he’s a great backup bass start I agree on All Points you you hit the nail on the head brother
Great backup bad starter you know he’s just he’s got things to work on you know he he is what he is in my opinion at this point you know he’s a law threat yes he’s a shop Locker yes but you know it’s good to see him gain gain that
Muscle right but um you know he’s got ways to go if he wants to solidify himself as a star in this league and I just don’t see it yet man like Gaff you know but you know I’m with you man that you know that contract you know that you
Know first year of that uh extension kicking in man you know it’s definitely a movable contract so I definitely agree with you um Stuart oity what’s good with you it was a good game at 88 to 80 I answer the phone call look up and it’s
9980 I’m with you man I mean before you know it they were it’s just the the lack of adjustments to halftime kills us man I mean the you know westel Jr tends to stick with his game plan and his lineups and he doesn’t make adjustments and and
It’s hurting him it’s hurting him it’s hurting team you know you got to make adjustments man that that’s the name of the game you know you going to argue that halftime adjustments are P probably the most important adjustments you can make because you know other teams are
Making it and we’re not making them man so I I I definitely agree with that um again he says they shouldn’t trade Gafford especially in the division H you know and I think then the Knicks are in the Atlantic division so they’re not in our division but they are in our
Conference and you know look um G his contract is not bad could he be a backup here in the future yeah absolutely I I could see him staying here long term but here’s the thing man with that money you know you have an opportunity to move him you gotta make
The move um it’s 5050 for me man is it really a move that has to be made you can say no right but it’s a move that if you get a good return then you make that move because he’s not a guy who’s pivotal or is a pivotal piece of the
Foundation and I it’s no it’s no shade on Gaff man you know like I said and I’m gonna make this last time I said I like Gaff but you know here’s the thing this is a performance-based business man we we are in a rebuild man so everybody’s tradable everybody’s tradable so you
Know normally you want to move you know your player in the trade to the Western Conference but you know Gaff is not a guy who’s you know in return DC is gonna light us up you know I mean so I mean it’s 50-50 my dude I definitely agree
With you um see Drew said the wizard biggest problem is that they have too many too much small guards all the top teams now have three to four players over 6′ n that’s new winning lineup in the NBA I I man great comment I I definitely agree with you you know if
You look at point guards like SGA man you know a tall lineup is is much needed in NBA and that’s why I advocated for and depending on future moves man depending on who we get in the draft but you know right now Denny is our smart
Forward you know if you put balow after the deadline at the two that’s a tall lineup that’s the defensive lineup especially kza at the four uh you know gifted he’s not moved but long term man you know there’s a lot of decisions you know we go on the draft we draft Ron
Holland you know then you have a tall you know there’s a lot of variables but I agree with you man you know our our backc court they’re small and they don’t defend and they become a detriment you know yeah they can score tius does well yeah especially Distributing ball you
Know I like to see his assist numbers a little higher but you know they’re they are a defensive detriment to us because they don’t defend well man they’re small you know when you you know what can you really depend on when you put ties up against SGA a taller faster a stronger
Point guard so I agree with you man um steart of said trade tius his value would never be higher totally agree man let’s see we we’re going to do a couple more man because we’re at the 33 minute Mark um let’s see uh George Borton schagger says uh
Trade kzo for mbid how does the front office not see this I’m not seeing it either bro I don’t see any I mean I the 76ers pie they would laugh at us man like straight up CR for nah um I I agree that Philly might be an under the radar move especially
Considering if you look at Tobias Harris’s contract I will agree with that but straight up nah man I mean the 76ers a probably gonna hang up uh let’s see all right let’s see uh Drew said you guys are not good businessmen uh C for a first- round pick when Jazz is asking
For five oh my Lord I didn’t know that first round picks for Lori marinin that’s why the Wizards are laugh suck in the NBA no ambition I don’t know any Universe where you get five first round picks for Larry markting man I mean l If
He if they get that for him man then we might mess around get 10 for kman man I mean I don’t see any other either one of them a possibility right now so um but you can definitely get a first for tys you can definitely get a first for uh CZ
Man um let’s see let’s see that black guy or the that blackor guy s what’s up man um you really think they’re moving to VA I don’t know you know honestly being um obviously there’s a lot of approval from Richmond um there’s a lot of approval that has to be
Done as far as Alexandria and the city council because look people forget there was a football a football stadium was proposed and they didn’t decline it and really if you look at a lot of comments from people that live in the area they don’t want it man it’s really going to
Jack up the traffic I think that this move was a move for tanes to kind of get DC city council to get their act together I don’t honestly it’s 5050 right now I could see them staying in DC but is the money good yeah man I mean
The money’s good in VA and you know so we’ll see man um I know that this is a Hot Topic right now from you know DMB Man U but I I could see them staying in these because I just I don’t see financially how it makes sense you know
The the mystics you know I’m again unfortunately you I’m just being real here I’m being 100 the mystics aren’t a draw enough to be able to be the lone tenant at Capital One you know what do do with Monumental Sports Arena you know there’s there’s a lot of ifs man there’s
A lot of approval so I think that you know there’s a chance that they could stay but there’s also a chance they could go so um let’s see what I’m G do one more comment and there’s a lot of good comments here man next week we are
Going to do some mailbag outselves man so definitely definitely give us your B questions but we’re gonna put forward um let’s see put forward I don’t know what I’m talking about um let’s see my man DC hoopla what’s good brother if your last name isn’t kabali you should
Be on the market absolutely amen that’s that’s it I’m with you bro I mean everybody’s tradable everybody should be tradable B kulali is the only person that is not a tradeable asset right now you you you try to move everybody you know because the thing is we rebuild
This is gonna be a long rebuild but then again is it because with that potential move so you know you’ve got to evaluate young guys you gotta bring some young guys in here you gotta bring some picks in here you know if you can definitely get a first- round pick for tus Jones
And Kyle kma man that is a win-win but we definitely definitely have to try to get as many assets as we can back so I agree with you so we’re going to go call it that man a lot of good comments man if I didn’t get to your comment man

poole is a good player behaving like he is a great player hence becoming bad player.
he shoot too much at poor % so other players cant shoot at better %. joke defense. overall do more bad then good.
I haven't really watched any Wizards games this season. So it was my first time watching Poole this year. And OMG, his shot selection is horrible. He doesn't create shots. He just launches from where he stands.
Not to hate on off night, Jared Butler is your future . Give the young man an opportunity you want go wrong.
You can blame rebounds all you want, but Poole and Kuz shot %…. YIKES! 😵💫
Trade everyone, especially that chucker( poole)
Hey Brandon, I'm about to watch. Thanks for all the shows. I'm a military vet getting my undergrad in History. I feel like you've really found your groove as a host of the show.
The Poole slander needs to stop, after watching John Wall shoot 32% FG for 10+ years. We ready to rid Poole after 25 games. From dropping fron 20pts to 17pts with the Wiz in Unseld system.
Bradley Beal dropped from 30pts to 23 in Unseld system for two years straight. So im at least willing to give Poole a year to see if he can average 23pts a game before i get rid of him.
Poole will be eating deep dish pizzas and candy popcorn 🍿 in 3 months. Kyle will stay. And ,Tyus will be the plug for Disney tickets. R Dillingham – Bilal – Kuz – Vuckevic – LeDee will win 35+ games in '24 #Negroedamus
Why JP takes so many shots with his field percentages?
B.C and D.A should take 10-15 shots each. If you wanna really develop them. they take 4-9 right now
Poole is a horror show, a freak show, nothing but basketball. Zero defense, turnovers, shot selection. Just send him away! Can’t watch him play for the Wiz any longer. Enough!!!
Wizards need a european basketball coach.
American coaches tend to hand over their testicles to the best player and hope for good isn't winning basketball.
This team should be 04 pistons with deni and bilal and 2 lock defenders from the draft, and poole/kuzma could traded for another piece.
Poole and Kuz should be traded for another big PF who can rebound and score and put Deni and Bilal up top with Kispert at the three and Gaf at centre
I have seen improvement from Poole. His effort is now easy to spot. The first 10 or so games were awful. If any of us made that kind of impression early in our careers, we’d all be job hunting.
If JP takes 21 shots and Deni just 5 then I DEFINITELY don't like the new rotation. Come on Wes!!
