The Wizards need to get rid of whoever keeps making these decisions. First Gilbert Arenas, and now this

Damn

$34M net 60% is life changing money for sure but I hate that IT’s hip went out just as he was gonna get paid. Was also funny watching ppl backtrack who wanted him off the bench or laughed at that Kyrie picture.

Well deserved 2nd team all-nba.... over John Wall, then dropped 50 & eliminated the wizards in the playoffs that year. He was getting cashed out man. Worst possible timing.

 

[Armada]

Good to see the guys in organized training again

Reddish was improving a bit towards the end of last season before the pandemic. Started slow at the beginning but was getting it together. Would love for him to keep that going and take another step this season

Boogie missed out on a max because of his Achilles. Then he passed on a $40M contract from New Orleans to go to Golden State for $5M.

Atleast he got the rookie max.

The $40 M at the time was a two year deal...and seen as a low ball. Especially coming from a time where Wes Matthews had a similar injury, and still got his $$. But the GMs got a lil smarter about handing out crazy bags to injured guys. Especially bigs. Boogie was betting on himself that he could come back and restore his value.

It legit got worse for him. Terrible timing/luck. It pained me to watch him move & run last year. Was real cringe.

Gonna hold off on making a prediction until I know if AD is playing or not.

 

[dman14]

why did they decide to start training camp for the other 8 teams so early? season won't even start til next yr. i would've thought at least wait til after the draft and offseason

 

[uncalled4boy]

Damn

Wall Deserved That Deal. 23/11/4, All NBA, 1 Game Out Of The ECF.

Not Mad At Boston For Not Paying Thomas.

These Deals Are Bad Investments For Teams, And Great For Any Player That Can Get One.

Bill Simmons slams Paul George for Championship or Bust statement
According to Simmons, the Clippers have put so much on the line to acquire Paul George from OKC that they cannot afford to perform below expectations.

He went out on a rant to say that the Clippers traded a hundred picks for him and gave up on a lot of their future in order to secure the title this time round.

With this one being a ‘bust’ season, there is going to be immense pressure next time round, as the Clippers have invested heavily in the duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George

“It’s not championship or bust”? Of course it is! They traded a hundred draft picks for you and you can opt out. I thought Lakers were lucky not facing them but now I think Lakers would’ve beat this Clippers, they are mentally weak.” Simmons said.

This makes sense because Kawhi and Paul George parachuted themselves onto a Clippers team that had already won 48 games in the past season.

It’s more of a stay warm active thing probably. These guys would have been out of team activities for a while if they didn’t have this camp

I think Westbrook is Tillman's guy and Jimmy is the odd man out. Also think they bring in Sam Cassell

“We used to go to UCLA in the summers. I’m in there one day working him over, I’m just pump-faking and everything. And he just has so much energy. One time Kevin Garnett came over to UCLA and I said, ‘You know that kid, Russell?’ And KG said ‘Who’s that?’ I said, ‘the kid who’s been dunking, running all fast with the ball. He’s gonna be good, man’ .”

After Cassell worked him in their first meeting, he recalls how eager Westbrook was for their rematch. He continued: “We got out of the car and walked to the arena and Russell was at that first door, waiting on me, bouncing the ball and he said, ‘I’m glad you made it. I don’t believe with how slow you are, you’re getting your shot off on me like that.”

“So me and Ticket [Garnett] were walking around the gym and I said, ‘That kid is gonna be awesome one day. That man confronted me.’ At that time I’m a bad boy, and he met me at the door,” said Cassell.
