I think they are waiting for Connelly. Local guy and look at the Nuggets. Seems like he is worth the wait.
I’d wait for Connelly too — unless they can get Ujiri

Zion would be a godsend for this franchise and the city......My guess is the new GM cleans house but that’ll depend on the lottery as well.
There’s a 9% chance the Wizards are saved.
Where?Any top 3 pick would be great
Rumors of Beal to Lakers for Lonzo +

Would need to be Lakers 1st, Lonzo, Kuzma and Hart. Lots of pluses.

So obviously it cannot happen.
We can’t have nice things
DC got Ovechkin and Wall... I don't think we can complain about not having nice things. I'm not sure how the baseball draft works and if we lucked into Strasburg and Harper as well but we got them too.
What we did after we got those players is another story.

Including Wall with Ovechkin is an insult to the latter. Now they’re probably going to be forced to trade the guy they should keep. Wall is Fools gold IMO.
And RG3. I get all that (and Backstrom?)
But save the Caps, all these other “superstars” were all SO significantly flawed, that their status didn’t matter.
At all.
Also, Wall was considered a future superstar in the league when he was drafted. And his drafting was supposed to be the infusion of new blood and the ushering in of a new era after the Arenas era went south.
Nice things to me = special players. Many of the people you mentioned didn’t turn out to be all that special, at all. That’s my point.RGIII we paid through the nose for... no luck there. And Backstrom we didn’t hit any ping pong balls to win the lottery, so not exactly apples to apples.
I was simply pointing out we won the lottery with Wall despite low odds to do so, countering Ridley’s statement that we can’t ever have nice things. It wasn’t meant to be a talent comparison.

So about $60-70 mil in the end....
