Telling that he didn't play. Not a good look for 8 million dollars a year. They really need to address what is going on with this guy.
We missed Omer Yurtseven as a free agent, but he should have a low trade value. He is a great defensive big with great chemistry with Al-P.
Hmm, the all Turkish centers team. We would have to move Boban, which might not be easy. I'm more curious what we plan to do with Bullock.
It is a disgrace that this team continues to play small ball and get their arses dominated on the boards. We lost because Jokic got offensive rebound after rebound after rebound. ADDRESS THE F$&@“ ISSUE ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to give jock landale a chance, but not since 2020-2021 Danuel House have I seen such levels of incompetency on the court. I always preach patience so I shall have patience…but mine is wearing thinner by the game
That looks like Jokic in Capela's body. Franchise player in the making. If we get him, Sengun can move over.
No he wasn’t. You remind me of all those who constantly posted excuses for Silas the last three years. Jock is a fully overpaid unathletic, slow, non-block shotting, bad outside shooting, bad rebounding player. His only attribute is that he is tall. This is why our coach has him backing up the shorter 37 year old. We need a legit backup big.
They just paid Gafford three years: $12m, $13m, $14m. If it was that versus Landale's $8m per, definitely Gafford. The fact that Wiz's front office extended him means they value him. It's different than the likes of Johnny Davis (picks from the previous GM) and Patrick Baldwin Jr. (from GSW to Wiz), who are very close on their way out of the league. Kuz and Poole are technically the 'faces' of their club, but hardcore D.C. hoop fans are hoping their next core hit with future hight picks + Gafford and Deni (Avdija). The talks right now is if Poole plays well, can he do it long enough for the Wiz offload, flip him. There's already buyer's remorse. Wiz's new GM(s - Dawkins and his assistant GMs); come with high creds and analytically driven. Not the type to get fleeced. Wiz is not picks rich, so if Stone dangles picks, Gafford is possible. Best for Eli Witus and crew to crunch the number and see if Gafford's worth it. Rockets might pass and not want to pay a steep price, if it's only a backup center. I personally wouldn't be against it if the price is not too steep. Rockets FO still saving the picks, in case they can use for that imaginary possible disgruntled superstar.
I was an early proponent of picking up Gafford, but I do wonder, now that he's a starter playing heavier minutes than he was behind Kristaps, how happy he would be coming here to almost certainly play under 20mpg. I wish we had acquired him during the offseason when he was still in more of a mixed/backup role. I'm not saying he would necessarily throw a sh*tfit about getting off the basement-dwelling Wiz and coming to a team that's at least a playoff contender. Maybe he would be just fine with it. Something to think about, though.
We have quite the conundrum right now, any backup big we get wont be able to space the floor and block shots and catch lobs, that type of player would be mvp lol. The spacing would be off if we were using a non shooter such as amen as our pg. hopefully Jabari can develop more and he can run backup 5 with tari Eason as our four or something. Landale oladipo and picks should be moved at the trade deadline to a seller who wants to save money. I guess we’ll see who it is but I’d be happy with gafford
