    I remember people being upset about the trade because of the compensation we got out of it. Stone looks like a genius taking a flier on John Wall while also acquiring a likely FRP.

    Sounds like we should throw a party at Richmond Ave to celebrate for being 3-5 instead of 2-8.

    Remember to wear your AFC South Division Champ hat also.

    I'm betting it'll be his last contract of any kind. He's got two years remaining after this season. He'll no longer have any value on a basketball court at that age. Even a minimum contract would be a gamble for chemistry reasons. If he's not the lead ballhandler to boost ticket sales, what good is he?

    I wish, didn't you see the protections on that pick? I wish the Wizards were a middling team right now.

    I will say, John Wall has been a better player and fit so far, hope health holds up!

    Yes I've seen them. I believe there is a good chance we get an FRP out of it.

    I see your point. Either way, it's looking like a better trade by the day.

    The Ringer just ran an article saying that Russ is looking like Allen Iverson did on the Denver Nuggets. I’d say it’s more like Iverson on the Pistons!

    yeah, i agree. iverson on the nuggets had like a 31/7 season i think. still had all his problems, but still productive and a little valuable.
