Wiz up next

Troy Brown Jr, SF, Oregon

"not super athletic at the NBA level" per a guy on ESPN

I don't know, this doesn't seem like a great pick by the Wiz. Anyone have any info? Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of NBA but do follow the Wiz. If we're going to draft a wing I'd liked Zhaire Smith.

Jesus....one pick from Porter sliding to us then this guy....boooooo.....boooooooo.

Tragic

Ernie gon' Ernie. He gets a bench player with limited upside who won't get meaningful minutes this season and both Gortat and Mahinmi are on the team still.

What happened to Gortat 99% traded....

Supposed to be a tough cookie. I like this pick.

Save the fact that the Wizards biggest weakness is their front court...and they selected 2 more back court players.

Speaking of DC United, Rooney rumored to be annouced tonight.

 

[Aladyyn]

Ernie basically drafted Oubre and Satoransky again because they're his only good picks outside the top 3 lmfao

Hmm. What is Rivers cap hit? Can we sign D’Andre Jordan now?

I honestly have no idea what this trade is. Somehow Ernie made the team worse and only saved $1mm in salary. Gortat's cap hit is $13.4mm and Rivers' is $12.5. I honestly think Ty Lawson and Jodie Meeks are better backup PGs than Austin Rivers and now the Wizards' center depth is... Ian Mahinmi and Jason Smith. Yikes. You have to assume other moves are coming? Who knows. Ernie gon' Ernie. Live view of Ernie at his desk: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Sports Illustrated likes the trade more than I do. They gave the Wizards a "B."
