OT: Nats, Wiz, O's, Ravens, Terps, DC United, Navy, Gtown, etc., 2018-2019

And this is why you don't let GMs who are thinking only in the short-term about how to save their jobs keep running operations. Report: Wizards chose not to pursue DeMarcus Cousins.

As John Wall told the media after Cousins’ victory over the Wizards — a game where he flashed his dominance, scoring 17 points on 8-of-12 shooting in 24 minutes — the All-Star big man “considered” reuniting with Wall in Washington, but the team couldn’t stomach waiting for his rehabilitation process to be complete.

Wall believes Cousins “wanted to be here” — but the Wizards, ultimately, passed. And in doing so, the Wizards took the safe route. They waited for Howard, who was waived by the Brooklyn Nets shortly after being traded by the Charlotte Hornets, to become available just because he could suit up on opening day. The Wizards wanted a center who could contribute on-the-spot, even if that meant the move lacked upside.

Signing a potential game-changing talent like Cousins at a heavily discounted price is exactly the type of move that a cap-constrained team like the Wizards should be doing. Man Ernie sucks.

I’m not sure I understand why anyone believes Cousins was going to sign at a heavily discounted rate in Washington. Slightly discounted in rate because of the injury but with as much term as possible in DC? Sure but the Wiz couldn’t have afforded that without moving a big earner first I’m pretty sure.

Boogie will be back on the market in the offseason if the wiz want him.

Also Bryce was suppose to sign with the Phillies on Tuesday and still remains a free agent. Come home Bryce lol

 

[Ridley Simon]

The Wizards can’t afford anyone. At all. They are DOOMED

Don’t you just wish that someday Grungus and Allen would sail away together with Micro-P on his imax yacht and never come back?

So long Kristaps!

He's under contract for 1.5 more seasons and they're going to miss the playoffs anyway so it's not likely to get too much uglier. Davis has made his choice and he's got to know that the org will now move with their best interests in mind and not his, i.e. they will get the best deal they can when the time is right. Besides, what choice does he have?

Unless someone blows them away with an offer before the TDL they absolutely should wait until July 1. Almost every team in the league will see if they can meet the price for Davis. And, by July 1 they'll know who owns what picks so they'll have a better sense of the overall package they're receiving.

Davis Sr. doesn't want son in Boston, cites IT exit

The Wizards are trash. There's a good chance they'll be 10 games under .500 and 11th in the East come the deadline on Thursday.

Ernie's itchin' to do something dumb.

I’ve let it go, brother. Feels good. Fak them.

Makes the Alex Smith cap situation with the Skins look not that bad.

With this devastating Wall news something dumb by Ernie is mandated isn't it?

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Yikes. That is just brutal. Time to sell sell sell. Tank this and next year.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Well that didn't work.

Wall is 28 and will be pushing 30 by the time he recovers fully from this significant injury. Looks like he will turn into another wasted 1st overall pick.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

It must be god awful being a Wizards fan.

Signed, a Nets fan.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Can Ovechkin play QB and PG? Maybe he can save the Redskins and the Wizards like he saved the Caps.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Wall will never be the same. Wizards are so f***ed. Another DC team that doesn’t deserve a minute of our time next season.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Wow. That’s crazy. They need to tank. Bad

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I mean it's just terrible. They were a Wall broken wrist away from the ECF in 2015 and it looked like they were poised to become contenders for years to come and now they're totally f***ed.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

How does he get hurt at home. How drunk was he

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

 

[Silky mitts]

If Ernie decided to be like George Costanza and do the opposite of his impulse the Wiz would literally be the Warriors because he could have drafted Curry, Thompson, and Draymond

Its a very good question but I once sprained my foot really bad, initially I thought I broke it, when I stepped on a box of Cheerios so anything is possible.
