    Be mindful that they're in the East. Washington has the best backcourt in the East, and I don't think it's particular close. Beal + Russ > Butler + Goran >>>>> every other backcourt.

    I think Washington will be fighting for HCA in the 4-5 seed range, rather than fighting for its playoff life.

    I don’t think that’s true. I’ll take a number of backcourts in the east before wb and Beal. There’s nothing special about that combo. And they’re definitely not a top 4 team over there. Not even close. Being in the east was a legitimate excuse a few years ago but it’s much more talented now than it’s been in a long time. Wash is going to be a bottom feeder at best

    You forgot the part that Harden doesn't like playing with Wall and we trade him and 4 first round picks to Boston for Gordon Hayward and Enes Kanter.

    Two better players doesn't mean they will play better together. But on paper? Sure.

    Even if Washington and its players hit their ceiling all at the same time, they are not getting out of the 1st round. So I really don't care how many wins they have or how many triple doofus's Westbrick gets.

    What I will follow is the drama Russ will create over there. I think that will be more entertaining than his play on the court.

    Not the best trade but more acceptable. If I can, I'd trade again for a wing defender/shooter + picks.

    Ahhhh the mighty Brooks /Westbrick duo finally reunited!!!!!

    Wizards are only a Durant and Harden away from an NBA Finals appearance.
