  1. Sabonis' albatross contract and a lightly protected first (and/or pick swaps) for Middleton and Kispert works under the ESPN trade machine. Adding Devin Carter also works. Sabonis gets put in bubble wrap the rest of the year.

    In what world is Boozer the first pick?

    Will Fox age well? The buy low/risk trade is for Ja.

  2. That’s stupid you’re not training for a $45 million lose the payment. It makes no sense. You keep your back warmer than this all season. You got the money that you can go and get go get people if you need to get somebody or you can trade for somebody because you got access to trade for Let’s stop this idea of training for by. I understand as a wizard trust me we want to win and we’re retired the last couple years and I told you when the decision was made to rebuild get ready for Lucifer for five years and I said that at the time and everybody said I didn’t know what I was talking aboutbut I was expecting this 456 years of losing them once players start showing then you’re gonna win yes give a chance to win, but it was gonna be four or five maybe even six years of bad team

  3. Sabonis led the league in rebounding the previous 3 seasons and he wouldn't take any time away from our young guys.

  4. No way Wizards land Sabonis . But maybe D.C., in a 3 team trade , can facilitate a team land Sabonis…and bring back picks and young player.

  5. No way no how should the Wizards trade for Sabonis. That train has passed years ago. Find a younger and cheaper veteran big. Dont abandoned the youth movement.
