It's a little funny seeing the different views on KD and Wall. I get Wall has more flaws in his game and maybe an attitude issue, but Walls contract is viewed as the worst in the league and KDs is viewed as a smart gamble.

It really does depend on how much it weakens the return

Then came the answer: If the Heat wants a date with Beal, the team will have to gamble on John Wall and the $172 million he is owed over the next four seasons, and more importantly, his torn Achilles tendon. 

Oh, well. The Heat would never do that, right? According to numerous reports midweek, that's the nuclear option on the table


Well, at least the Wiz found another team that doesn't mind being trapped in cap purgatory forever.

I think people are confident in two things:

1. An 80% KD is still a damn good player and worthy of a max contract
2. KD has the type of work ethic to make sure he'll be the best version of himself that he can be

[Danny Green] If I miss out on an opportunity or get the short end of the stick, which would suck, so I'm hoping that, you know, that he makes a decision soon. Today would be great so that these other teams don't have to wait, I don't have to wait, I can make a decision.

Even if KD loses a lot of mobility, he's still about 7 foot tall and a great shooter.

Wall has never been a great shooter. If he loses mobility, he reverts to a 6'4 guy who doesn't shoot it well and doesn't have the speed to break the D down.

Also, if KD regresses, it's from MVP level, and Wall has never been at that level.

KD is also a 7 footer that is also a 50/40/90 threat every season.

Wall’s game has always been that he’s bigger AND faster than opposing PGs.

80% of KD is still a top 10-20 guy in the league.

The Wizards were struggling with 100% Wall...

Had no idea. Figured it was widely assumed that you’d pay him.
