At this point I kind of want Tristan thompson now. .. i know he is married to Harden's ex that apparently smells like Earing Backs but to have someone that makes Draymond scared?
More than a few reasons actually: One...because the Wizards just added added a locker room cancer(Dwight) to a group who already hates each other. Not if, but when this team implodes, there will be a time when they will need to shake up the roster/bring in some fresh faces and maybe hit the reset button. I would be SHOCKED if the Wizards start the 2019-20 season with the same core group in place. Two - a lot of Wizards fans want to see Oubre in the lineup instead of Porter because Porter has a tendency to disappear from games while Oubre is a little younger and is still on his rookie deal. If the organization believes Oubre is in their future plans, then it makes sense for them to try to move Porter sooner rather than later if they prefer him to Oubre - otherwise they could possibly consider trading Oubre for some value. The one thing I don't see them doing is paying Porter Jr max money and then paying Oubre either max or close to max money to be his backup. Three - it's a long shot but - KD2DC. If the Wizards think they have a chance at Kevin Durant, they don't need either Oubre or Porter. I find it hard to believe KD would leave his cush job in GS for this mess but there must be some reason why he keeps signing one year deals and it's not to go back to OKC. If the Wizards organization gets tipped off that KD is strongly considering them, I could see them setting up a few moves to allow them to clear up their logjam at the SF while freeing up some cap room to sign Durant outright.
Outside of KD, they'd be silly to shop Porter... but you make sense. However, Porter is a very calculated player. Oubre is just another Jae Crowder... aint nobody got time for another Crowder
@Plowman now that your mysterious medical syndrome has been solved when are you going to hold yourself accountable for being a fake insider?
dont you think its very useful(on a game to game basis) to be able to put ball on the floor if defenders are overcommitting on guarding you on the 3 pt line? then pass it again if help defender is coming on your drive to the rim?
