HeHateMe 697 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 Wow @Markelle is scheduled to see a shoulder specialist early next week. Per Brothers, Fultz will not participate in team practices or games until after the the specialist has had a chance to evaluate him.David Aldridge https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1064913141279137795?s=20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Eyes On Me 1,210 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 Won’t be getting traded any time soon. Philly would literally have to give him away at this point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the little they would get for him it’s probably better to just keep him. His value will probably never be lower. Ever. Until he’s out of the league. I cant wait to hear the real story on what happened to his shoulder. Someday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odin 137 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 1 hour ago, Magicman28 said: Has Wall ever had any locker room issues before this one? Can’t remember any. Thought he was always solid there? That contract. 20 million less and it would be a no brainer. Because of that, Beal would be the better option. How much better would he make us? 1. Complaints about his contract after Beal got signed for more than him, plus other rumors about them not getting along (which they don't seem to on the court) 2. Spat with Gortat 3. Comments about how the team was playing when he was injured 4. Comments from former teammates that he can be difficult A lot of this might be overstated. People don't always get along and that doesn't make you a bad person if you have difficulties with some others. Or you have an issue once, and then resolve it. And you can probably find such comments about almost every player in the league if you search. But the issues with Beal and the issues with Gortat got all the way out to the national media- so it is something to consider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 Quote D'Angelo Russell, Brooklyn Nets With so much cap space flying around over the summer, the market is bound to deliver some shocking overpays. D'Angelo Russell is a semi-solid bet to be one of them. Not only does he retain the curb appeal of a No. 1 scorer, but the Nets could be due for a taste of their own medicine. General manager Sean Marks has forced a handful of other teams to overpay their own restricted free agents by crafting extravagant offer sheets. This could be the year someone else returns the favor. The Nets are smarter than to match a bad deal. It helps that they have playmaking superiors in Spencer Dinwiddie, also a free agent, and Caris LeVert, and that Russell is hardly a sure-thing cornerstone. Regardless, losing him for nothing shouldn't be on the table. Brooklyn could make interesting headway when combining his salary with some of their other expiring pacts. Dennis Smith Jr., Dallas Mavericks Dennis Smith Jr. is not a bust. Assigning such a label to 20-year-olds is too hot even for this exercise. But it is fair to wonder about his big-picture fit in Dallas. Luka Doncic is already the Mavericks' best player and looks like a future MVP candidate. Taking the ball out of his hands will forever be the wrong decision. Smith has shown he can work off his teenage running mate—he's shooting 40 percent on catch-and-fire threes—but Dallas needs him to be interchangeable with Doncic rather than his complement. Right now, Smith doesn't have the feel of a primary offensive weapon. His finishing around the rim is erratic. He's hitting under 57 percent of his attempts inside three feet and converting sub-50 percent of his layups. His pull-up jumper is a work in progress, and the most reliable parts of his game are tied to his athleticism. Once more: The Mavericks needn't desperately gauge his trade value. But their half-court offense is almost 11 points per 100 possessions worse when he's in the game, according to Cleaning the Glass, and they have a more natural all-everything heir in place with Doncic. If they can peddle Smith as a could-be centerpiece to a rebuilding team like Orlando or Phoenix, the return might be worth a premature divorce. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2806901-the-biggest-overreactions-1-month-into-the-nba-season#slide6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

argentinaworldchampion 32 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 Given how well we are playing,, it is difficult to know if a vuc trade can be good or bad for us in the future. Dont know if it is a contract year show or real improvement, but I think we should wait and find out The only way I would trade him rigt now is to get beal, who is a consolidated star on a decent contract. wall worries me more because of his age, mileage, and lack of perceived motivation. but if we can somehow get beal while giving fournier, picks and assets (washington is surely going to refuse it), it would be an ainge move.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted November 20, 2018 https://reddit.app.link/Wtx9YTQk0R An anonymous Wizards player on John Wall: "We love Scott Brooks. Love playing for him. He just can't coach John. John just walks all over him and it frustrates everybody. The way he plays is impossible to play with. We have so many guns, not enough bullets." If John would just play off the ball and let others eat, we'd be fine. But that's a difficult thing for him to do, and sometimes difficult for us to watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know what team is willing to take that hit on their cap. Let alone his ego and locker room chemistry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
