We may need a MAJOR shakeup.

Outside of Zion, Ingram, Dyson and CJ, I think everyone e should be available for the right upgrade.

I’m no longer worried about trading Jonas, Herb or Trey. I’d like to keep Jose and Naji but if they have to go so be it. The rest are expendable as well.

I think at this point, Naji might be our most valuable player when taking contracts into consideration. Would really not like to deal him.

I’ve never seen a team change so dramatically. It’s like someone put a curse on them.

The effort to rebound and not turning it over is atrocious!

Wizards:
+10 REB (8 Offensive)
-1 TOV (despite 10 more possessions)

Yep and there are people who want to make a trade using vital picks. Even with BI and Zion this team is still atleast 2 years away from contending.

This team relied on Zion to much, they have to go back to the mentality they had last year for these next games he’s going to miss.

They’re still playing like they expect him to come in and carry them

I will amend my previous post to say I’d also listen to offers on Ingram.

Way too fragile. I’m not shopping him but I’m not saying he’s completely off limits either.

I'd forgotten how much I hate his fade away shite. It's so inefficient at drawing contact.


To be fair he was fouled at the end of the half.

And you want to create space from your defender generally speaking in the game of basketball if you’re a shooter, which he is.

This is all a culmination of having our 3 best players missing so much fricking time already this season… the guys behind them have been pressed into action they are not accustomed to, and now they are wearing down… if Zion is out for any longer than these 2 weeks, you can go ahead and put a bow on this season… it’s over

Yeah, cause all those all stars are banging down the door to come to NOLA. You people are way overreacting to a losing streak. Our window isn’t “closing”. We have a solid core. If we finish a mid tier playoff team this year and win a series, it’s a win to build upon. We are making the fricking playoffs. Stop with all this nonsense.

Nope, we're not going to get players much better than BI.

Dreadful half, Coach Green seems so stuck in his rotations. They've been killing what little momentum Pels generate. Gafford and Gibson get to the boards with no deterrance. With Nance less than 100%, Pels bigs are so s-l-o-w

The ONLY player off limits should be Zion… every single other player is expendable or a trade asset… sure, there are other players I would play hard ball with in negotiations but literally the only person that is absolutely untouchable is Zion, and he’s injury prone as frick, so yeah

Just a soft team at the end of the day

If you can’t beat the Wizards at home, without Porzingis, I would make any player that is active in this game available for trade.

Rookies don’t put you in contention for championships. You will always be 2 years away if you’re relying on rookies to come in and put you over the top.

We’re just not built for the modern NBA imo.

Way too many try hard dudes who can’t shoot.

Our best player is undersized. Our second best has a game made for the 90s. Neither can stay healthy.

Our C would have been great in 1998.

We need more athleticism at C and shooters.

Hayes fricked us. He’s what we need and Garland would have been perfect to pair with Zion.

Did the team get too comfortable? Maybe Willie has been too soft on them.

Maybe trading away one of the”guys” will put them on edge a little and bust out of this complacency
