That "Trade Wilson" talk a few pages back gave me instant diarrhea. Please never speak of this again. There are two, and only two, untradeable players on this roster. Ovi and Wilson. Everyone else can eff right the hell off. But the next person that suggests we trade Tom Wilson is getting punched like a fish.
Even you
@twabby, I don't care what the return is.
Why?
Is it, I'd rather watch him play on a very mediocre or worse Caps team than rebuild kinda thing?
Not trying to be argumentative, if its just a case of wanting to enjoy watching your team, even though your team is irrelevant, I half get it.
I just don't really understand why people would prefer this, its like Boulez fans who wanted to keep Beal and not trade him after Wall fell out of the shower in '19 and destroyed his career. The second Wall fell out of the shower that version of the Wizards was done as a competitive entity. They'd never win ---- w/o a full tear down. Some just wanted to watch Beal, and didnt care about contending. I don't understand that thinking but maybe it's just me.
For me, we're either contending like 2008-2018, or we're not and we should be rebuilding, I dont really understand the point of being fine with flirting with the underside or top side of .500 forever.
That's basically been the redskins since 1993, nearly always between a .375-.500 or so record NEVER relevant EVER.
Do you guys actually think we can contend (I 1000% do not), or do you just want to enjoy watching the team play fairly poor to middling hockey instead? Is going back to 2003-2007 just untenable? I just don't get this perspective and never have.
Nats are doing what I want, and I'm very happy about it, Redskins/WFT never do and I'm not, Boulez never do and I'm not, Caps had their run ('07-'18 and then a slow decline) and I'd just much rather have blown it up and started the rebuild in 2019 or 2020 or 2021 instead of 2024-2025. It's just such a waste to throw a half decade down the toilet to me. We could have gotten the rebuild started years ago, doing this just delays it far, far longer.
