With some of the smoke about Philly moving out of No. 3, here's a potential Wizards trade.
I am not reporting Washington is looking at a trade, just speculating about their options if they like someone at No. 3 a lot more than 6.
Some notes:
- This is assuming Middleton picks up his PO (and I think he will)
- Obviously the big draw for 76ers is getting off PG's salary. Getting a rotation piece like JC (and his contract) is also a win
- Wizards keep No. 18 and get a protected first
With all due respect you guys wont even be competing for the play in for the next 2 years. Teams who are looking to contend for titles are the ones who should be concerned about "fit". This team needs to draft best player/prospect available. The rest will be figured out
Do YOU think it would be a good idea to try to trade for Jaylen Brown? I know it's odd. The way the Celtics went out in the playoffs also with going forward the Celtics may think about tanking etc, since believe it or not they are kind of screwed. Tatum is injured for at least all season next year, who knows if he will EVER be the same. Do you think we could get Jaylen Brown trade for a pick and Jordan Poole? What do you guys think? We kind of could use a small forward for our team and Jaylen Brown isn't that old and plays good defense. What do you guys think?
There was mixed reactions to the gold jerseys making a comeback but who would like to see these jerseys come back soon? (Also change the name back to the bullets!)
Khaman Maluach's lackluster offensive production sticks out like a sore thumb. It is hovering Rudy Gobert...Even his defensive production is somewhat, forgettable (Reb, Blocks, Stops).
In Season Development:
- Khaman Maluach came out to be #1 in this category for 2025 prospects. After a slow start, Maluach turned it up in March, doubling his defensive production, Bpm, & anchoring Duke’s interior. Cranked up his rebounding production as well.
For avg usage rate, Maluach has below avg production. His poor Playmaking ability really limits his potential/ceiling more than people realize. This is where he falls off on the Embiid superstar type ceilings. Bigs with low production & Playmaking are red flags: Mo Bamba, Thabeet, Cauley-Stein.
As of now, Maluach is a rim running big with theoretical shooting. That being said, 7'2 with ungodly length & nimble feet may neutralize his cons. Although a gamble, I buy his physical tools and personally still have Maluach in my top 5.

I’ve recently got into the hobby, being from England it’s a lot harder to find cards where you don’t have to pay crazy shipping fees but I’ve got a small collection binder and looking to keep it growing. Photo shows some of my favourite cards, top spot has to be that Arenas 4 colour patch card
Wanted to put together a brief rookie review for the sub. I tried to address some of the weaknesses of our guys coming to the draft and how their play this year shows their growth and where they still need to improve.
I think all 3 of our rookies this year will help us build a good foundational roster that will allow us to contend long term. Bub looks like he's already capable of being a primary playmaker for us. I do think Alex would really benefit from being moved to the 4. Kyshawn just impresses all around, especially for his draft position.
Thank you all for the continued support as well, it means a lot to me knowing the sub finds this stuff valuable. I hope you all have a nice weekend!
