WMC 24-25: Seasonal Highs And Lows!

FAILED. Again.

 

Bron played 36 minutes tonight. LW4 and AR both have ankle injuries. Tomorrow's Suns game could be a blood bath with Scottie Jr leading us with 39 minutes.

 

I fear for Lebron's health. The dude is about to play 40+ minutes a night and might well injure himself.

 

This Franchise doesn’t care about running players into the ground. As long as they are making money off of them, they are happy.

 

what a stupid way to win

lebron is so f***ing lucky the bounce went the lakers way

 

Contrary to false narratives, Kuzma still very solid:
22 and 16 at 50%

 

Washington fans hate their entire team. Most want to trade Beal to the Lakers for Russ and the picks.

 

That’s fine. He fit well enough with our team to help us win our last Chip. He’s not coming back, but he’s also not the trash player many pretend that he is.

 

i get being turned off by beal's contract. but when literally everyone in the press was basically begging for him to demand a trade out of basketball nowheresville, he didn't. to me, he should be nearly as beloved there as lillard is in portland, for similar reasons.

i also think beal's more of a competitor than given credit for. not saying i want his contract; just saying washington should be careful what they wish for.

 

Great player when healthy. Because of his health issues, along with him Making $53 million and $57 million respectively during the last two years, I view his contract as the worst in the NBA.

 

damian lillard will be paid 58 and 63 million when he is 35 and 36 years old.

beal will get 53 and 57 in his age 32 and 33 seasons (same calendar years).

if you look at their trajectories, both were best about 3-4 years ago and have declined and been injured since.

anyway, i'd say lillard is the worse contract, but everyone would be happy to trade for him, and portland fans love him.

 

If he were paired with a healthy AD and a good supporting cast, that’s a Championship team. Beal just doesn’t carry that weight.

 

i think you're thinking of lillard from four years ago (and every damn time he plays the lakers). actual lillard is much like actual beal right now, imo.

 

wizards fans hate beal's contract. they don't hate him as a player

but the kuzma hate is odd. maybe they're butthurt over the fact that he wants out, but he's been their best player at times this season. can't blame those fans for being miserable though

 

If I ever see Rob Pelinka in the street I’m going to jail.

 

Was it really necessary to sit Westbrook for this one. I get sitting old.man James and Reaves but they totally punted against a Suns team without Booker and Payne

 

So you're saying Russ would lead his to victory? This board is hilarious
