[@hamiltopia5211]

I’d definitely prefer topic over giddey. More athleticism, much higher upside, a lot younger, has actually shown shooting flashes, and doesn’t have off the court issues.

[@FalseNi9e]

Topic hurt his knee again, stay away

[@hamiltopia5211]

@@FalseNi9e it was a minor injury, it was just a sprain.

[@thesunofgod.]

we don’t want his problems here lol.

[@FalseNi9e]

He doesn't have any problems

[@thesunofgod.]

@@FalseNi9e keep telling yourself that fool.

[@jaysmith099]

Great work Brandon. I 100% agree that the top 3 options for us should be Risacher, Castle, and Clingan in that order too.

[@sesesesesesesesesgygyg]

nah bruh keep him out of DC

[@Jesussaves33_]

Ive seen the deni and giddy deal I really really dont want that to happen. Regardless of giddys problems off the court I just don't see him fitting here very well. Deni can pass the ball like that when we need him to. Deni is so much better.

[@hamiltopia5211]

Bilal got snubbed for sure. All these voters care about is points. Bilals defensive impact doesn’t show in the box score, so they don’t even care about it.

[@itai4242]

If Deni in this trade, the rumours are talking about much bigger package. It will be Giddey, some first round draft picks (at least one high) and some second round draft picks. The front office need to decide if they think they can develope Deni to be a star, if not it's look like a nice assets for a rebuilding team and it's much more then they got for Beal and Porzingis, if yes they need to be much more invested in his development (front office statements, trade Kuz, encourage Deni to be more active in the offense (he is a little to nice and passive behaviour, and need more to demand the ball), and improve team defence (Deni can still guard one of the opponents star, but he can't also cover all the other mistakes, it takes too much energy).

[@nolimitwhite1898]

We don’t want him

[@FalseNi9e]

Yes we do

[@scottv5587]

Giddey’s 3pt% is less of an issue if he can play on ball

[@doritmaman]

Giddy and a first round pick for Kuzma can work....

[@leelaor6201]

OKC has no interest in Kuzma at all!... Their only interest is Deni!

[@jcole4]

No! OK isn’t using him. How much time is left on his contract? Topic at #2 if Atlanta takes SARS. Edy for Wiz second pick

[@jordanmays8455]

Trading for giddey is not a move the new management would consider in my opinion. We are rebuilding… and bringing in a controversial player destroys building our fanbase. He’s a good player. But his impact to the team and fanbas in the playoffs was hurting the thunder.. why trade for one of the most hated players in the last 6 months. The fans gonna focus on that one thing and yall know we don’t need to be a highlight of the media. DC is clearly a big market. Let’s focus on the rebuild!!!!!

[@jordanmays8455]

In my opinion lemme know what you think Brandon

[@jordanmays8455]

@lockedonwizards

[@LockedOnWizards]

I agree that management might not want a guy with this much noise surrounding him but you also can't deny the connection to Will Dawkins from his OKC days.

[@Showtimepicks_]

Bringing in giddy would be a very risky move for the front office

[@romeovega4301]

Hey I'm just a basketball fan and I'm glad you're not reporting on the Lakers and warriors like every NBA channel. Good to hear about teams you never here about.......Giddy is good depends what your moving him for, wizards needa maybe make a move for giddy or an underrated underappreciated guy like Patrick Williams who has the tools to be good

[@vannegrojones4504]

Best trade idea I've seen; Wizards receive Marcus Sasser & #5 pick. Detroit receive Kyle Kuzma. Wizards draft either Risacher or Topic with 2nd pick, & Clingan with pick #5! Detroit gets veteran help from a local player (Detroit is Kuzma's hometown) who fits better than who they'd get with #5 pick.

[@vannegrojones4504]

LOL.....I posted this before hearing your trade idea talk. We on the same page!! I don't see a Memphis trade though.

[@jbrew7396]

Detroit would be dumb to do that. And also we have poole at PG and Deni who would not compliment topic. But I’d definitely be for taking ZR and Clingan if they accept.

[@scottv5587]

Bilal wasn’t snubbed. He played well for 30 games and then was terrible until he got injured. No hate to him or anything he’s a raw player that will need his entire rookie deal to develop before we know if he is any good

[@Jesussaves33_]

That was just offensively but defensively was great

[@samuraisho444]

No to the giddler

[@NBAhoops123]

Giddey has superstar potential and he should be playing the #1. Watch the game against the phoenix suns at the end of the season where he eviscerated Booker and Kd.

[@israteeg752]

I've seen an OKC Thunder podcast, and their presenter fancied a Deni for Giddey trade. Personally, I wouldn't do it. Definitely not as a straight-up exchange. Imo, it wouldn't even make any sense to have both on the same team since many of their skills and on-court routines overlap.

[@taiwanfocus4385]

Why couldn't Wizards afford rookie extensions for both Giddey and Kispert, especially after they move Kuzma?

[@Anti-Socialextrovert]

Thr short answer is no.

[@Bugsy_King_of_da_dmv]

Any wizards fan who thinks he shouldn’t be our starting point guard doesn’t know shi* about basketball 🎯

[@rsgomlftw]

I don’t think he should be our starting point guard. I must be an idiot who knows nothing about basketball.

[@davidangevine9819]

Giddey should not be our starting PG. We have Poole, who has an actual outside shot. And, can draft a PG who might shoot 3 pts. JGiddey has not proven ability to shoot in 3 years or so; he is not likely to get better in next 3 years. I would only take him if we do not give up assets. Glad that we have a competent FO now.

[@doritmaman]

Any wizard fan that don't know who OKC wants for Giddey don't know shi* about basketball.

[@leelaor6201]

I've already saw few different trade suggestions videos from few different teams are interested trading like Josh Giddy or Brandon Ingram and so'... Their only interest is a trade for Deni Avdija not anyone else from the Wizards! In my opinion, if Kuzma stays a Wizard so Deni needs to go!

[@Ericoo365]

Bilal was close but don’t think he got snubbed

[@FalseNi9e]

Bring him here now!

[@bryanfoster3554]

What is your time line for the wizards to be competitive?

[@prodtfm]

we have atleast 3 years

[@scottv5587]

10 years

[@LegendsandLegacies.]

2 years if everything is done correctly

[@jbrew7396]

3 year years imo assuming we don’t stumble upon a star or 2 in those years.

[@DM-bn6bf]

5 years

[@stewartoflaherty5985]

Giddy is ok if he's the point but no thanks. I like Edey with the fifteenth pick.. if they take Topic or castle at two

[@LiamborninDC]

I'd much rather just start Poole, Coul, Deni, Kuzma and the #2 pick or Bagley. See how well they are doing through the first half of the season, probably trade Kispert at the deadline.

[@catanace1741]

We know how they will do. This is the same team you had this year, minus Tyus Jones.

[@LiamborninDC]

@@catanace1741 Kind of but not really, this is what is known as "development". A big part of doing a rebuild is having the players grow together. Deni starting to take over the reins more. Poole started to show he can be a starter the last month of the season. Coul will be in his 2nd season. Kuzma hopefully will be healthier than he was last year. Bagley having a full off season with the team. Hopefully the #2 pick is the Center from UConn unless Sarr is there. Look at the Wolves, the Mavs, the Pacers, and the Knicks. They all have had growing pains, forming their teams along the way, now being paid off with deep playoff runs.

[@DJ-ir9fl]

No we don't

[@stewartoflaherty5985]

I'll make you a steak dinner if Topic isn't the best PG in the draft... unless his knee is wrecked..I trust the Wizards to get it right for the first time in about fifty years

[@hamiltopia5211]

His knee isn’t wrecked, turned out to just be a sprain

[@chrishutchens5167]

Hey, what do you think about this idea? I have mentioned Kabala places idea of the wizards in San Antonio pull off a trade which could make up some sense very carefully. We just trade that second pic along with Jordan Paul to the to the Spurs in exchange for the fourth and the eighth That would free up where the wizards could get maybe get an Eddie or a center from Yukon and get they get their center, and then they still get a point guard like Stephon Castle if the fans want to jumpstart the rebuild, that’s the wood to jumpstart or rebuild. I prefer Edey over Donovan Clingan

[@Invalidusrr]

That’s not worth it. Why trade Jordan Poole when his value is lowest with the 2nd pick for lower picks?

[@chrishutchens5167]

@@Invalidusrr Jordan Poole is a proven still young player and you’re getting a second pick who’s valued is more than the fourth pick and when you have the fact that in this there’s no guarantees of what you’re gonna get because this is the most unproven draft which has been said many times so if the Spurs team wants to try to take the next Wimbley, it makes more sense for them to take something that has value approval whether it’s a standard right now because of his actions in Washington has proven that he has proven that he has value and he can score he can be a playmaker. He’s a proven commodity and I was a gentleman proven commodities if I’m trying to win clearly San Antonio is trying to do so when you in that perspective, it’s actually an even trade because in pool they get that proven point guard with Wembley at the same time if they get the second pic and if Atlanta does draft that leaves Riche who reminds me of a young Kevin Garnett and if you could do a young Kevin Garnett type player who is also French? They you go and both team wins

[@Invalidusrr]

@@chrishutchens5167 If we’re trading him I’d rather build up his value next season and trade him for picks in a stronger draft

[@freddfezzo8524]

Giddey??...huh?

[@scottv5587]

Corey Kispert is a nice player but he’s a one trick pony. Losing him isn’t a big deal Obviously Deni is worth way more than Giddey

[@jbrew7396]

Lmfao he’s a 3point shooter who cares if he’s a one trick pony? That’s the most important skill in basketball.

[@yonihalevi2017]

The only trade that makes any sense whatsoever for Deni is: Deni to okc Wiz get: 3 first 3 second Giddy And 2 young players and 3 trade swaps. That’s how good deni is. Plus giddy has issues. Not a good trade for anyone besides deni. Swap deni and giddy this season and okc would have done to the finals. People talk shit about the 2020 draft. Haliburton, ant, Jaden McDaniels… con finals. And maxey, lamelo, deni… No such a thing as a weak draft.

Makes sense, Deni is a kuz trade away from being a 24 8 6 guy
