NBA for a first deposit match up to $100 and tonight we’re going to look at five picks that I think are the best picks um if the Wizards want to trade back into the lot and grab another high impact Prospect in this year’s draft and they’re actually kind of a wild card team so you kind of say six but rock with your boy tonight because uh like I said I definitely think the Wizards need to trade back into the lottery not to say there’s not Talent around the number 26 and it’s not to say we can’t keep the number 26 but obviously we’re gonna look at scenarios where we can trade back in look at players that could be traded and maybe young players we could get in uh return so we’re going to start with the third overall pick that is held by the Houston Rockets um how could the Wizards make this move how could the Wizards trade back into the third pick which Manan that would really be the best case scenario right I mean if you hold the number two and number three picks um and obviously um people were going to talk about the Spurs picks which I did not include because I think that with them being a rebuilding team I don’t see them moving on I don’t see them in win now mode so I did not include them but I’m definitely going to look at them in the future but let’s start with the Houston Rockets pick at the third overall pick now looking at the roster um obviously look let’s be 100 with this now we know as far as TR Commodities the biggest things that we have that could be traded right now is a 26 pick um you throw 51st in there maybe maybe some of the second rounders we had but I don’t see us moving any picks I know the the front office said they’re not moving any first round picks so um you’re looking at players and obviously the first name that comes mind is Kyle kman now looking at Houston and looking at their roster right now and looking at sport track because I’m looking at the roster and the contracts to see if it work out now Kyle kumma you know could the Houston Rockets use a a player like kusma to push him over the top maybe if you look at the late season collapse of the Houston Rockets I think it had a lot to do with lack of experience as a very young team and yes you do have veterans in Dylan Brooks and Fred vanet Van fet yeah Lord Hammer one of those days um you know they didn’t have the necessary experience to really make that final push uh Kyle kma again brings Championship pedigree brings experience brings leadership now out of all the trades today I’m going say this probably is kind of the least like in my humble opinion because if you look at where could he potentially fit now contract wise they’re you know they’re locked they have most of rosters locked up long term I mean you know van Fleet is has three years left on his deal uh Brooks four Jaylen green four Jabari Smith four Aman Thompson four ja londelle four Stephen Adams two or I’m looking at it or matter of fact it might be one so knock that back a Year y’all my bad um so you looking at Van fleet has two years Dylan Brooks three Jaylen green three three Aman Thompson three and I’m looking at sport track right now um so Stephen Adams this is his last year of his deal but I’ll say this they have a lot of players locked you know the long-term contracts you know jeante T could be a player that we get in return I know the Wizards were very interested in him in um years past Terry een is not a guy I’ll see them moving up so looking at where could Kyle kma fit he he would start at the four because Javari Smith Jr and you know and shenon should be back in Action next year at the Cent position so they’re probably not going small ball five um so Dylan Brooks could he could Kyle kma or Dylan Brooks revert to the bench yeah but then where would they fit you have Aman Thompson you have Terry een you have Cen Whitmore um I I don’t see a fit unless they want to give his young T back and I I really honestly guys I see that Houston could be very very reluctant to send us can Whitmore or Aman Thompson or even Terry e and you know Dylan Brooks but he wouldn’t F the timeline so you know I’m going say that Houston is just not a likable or he’s not a likable or a likely destination in my opinion because yes Houston Rockets they need a piece now they they want to definitely want to make noise in the Western Conference but I don’t see a fit with uh Kyle kman and Houston and I don’t see why they would take on his contract and I don’t see them giving up any young Talent so you know that I’m gonna say no I’m I’m I’m G say that they they hang they hang up on this man I’m definitely I I just don’t see the fit longterm for k or with any players that we get back because I mean obviously look there’s a lot of players on the team that I would love C Woodmore was a guy that I wanted to see us draft but I’m a bow guy so you then you know that ship has definitely sailed so let’s get into the fifth pick with the Detroit Pistons now again looking at tradeable assets you know including the 26 overall pick um I believe is the most tradable picks because they’re not going to trade any future picks especially first round picks uh so the 26 is definitely probably the one of the few uh first round picks that is probably tradable and it’s because it’s in this year’s draft looking at the Detroit Pistons and looking at their makeup again um you can’t necessar say win now because they’re still I mean they were worse than we were and we were historically bad so it tells you all you need to know but I think that this could be a really good trade for several reasons number one Kyle kman is from Flint Michigan he’s a Flintstone so it would be a Home Town move for him and I think that you know lot you know not all but a lot of players do like playing at home now looking at DC for some reason DC guys don’t want to come back home except for Will Barton uh you know KD has been reluctant to come home and I think then stage’s career that ship is set SED but you know he could want to go back home again he is a Flintstone now where can he fit into he could start at the five or the four excuse me my bad the four because right now Simone fanto is the is the power forward now you know Isaiah Stewart could be that guy but I think that when you look at the the tandem in the front court that he forms with James wisman in the second unit you know that could be a really good tandem on the second unit for Detroit if they want to try to be a better team next year because look they need a guy who’s going to help them and I think the KY could slide into the four and if you look at the potential lineup of K Cunningham Jaden Ivy assar Thompson Kyle K and jayen durran that’s not a bad starting five you know they’re definitely gonna be a little more competitive um but you definitely want to see because look K Cunningham Jay iy a lot of these young guys you know Detroit is trying to get them to stick around man long term and it behooves them to have a better team going forward so U what would I ask him for the fifth overall pick or what would I as far as a young player now could you get a second for I think that you know the front office a lot of people said that we could possibly you know if you look at asking price they want to look for two first- round picks I think this is probably maybe the best case scenario at getting a a second first round pick because you know we could ask for Evan for8 back and they will probably give us another first just offload his contract so I think that’s realistic if we want to again want to grab another first round pick for Kyle kma and the 26 overall pick you know you definitely can see us attained the fifth pick and maybe this could be our chance to grab a pick next year so I think that I would definitely try to see if we could pick up Evan fornier as a bad contract in my opinion and you know they could give us a first round pick for that man um because we’re gonna get into let’s let’s let’s take a look at Evan for Year’s contract real quick I’m on ESPN and they just don’t give me that info so uh but you know for has always been that guy where you know he’s always been a player where you know teams are trying to you know attach a pick looking at the New York Knicks now the Detroit Pistons so again I think that if we want to get a second first round pick for Kyle kman and a two and six overall pick Detroit’s best case scenario because while you can get the fifth pick in this year’s draft you can get a pick for next year so we’re gonna knock out the ninth pick real quick ninth pick Memphis now Memphis is in in a position kind of like um at at three you know they definitely want to win now with John barant with his skill set with his sportting cast they’re definitely looking to win now as opposed to try to grab Talent through the draft and I and so let’s look at looking at um Memphis really death chart real quick um obviously J at the one now they have Marcus Smart at two I just don’t see that as I mean we’ll see um because you very well could see Desmond bang slide to the two margus smart go to the second unit and you know I think Kyle kman could come in Go I mean there’s there’s a lot of fits here with Memphis now he Vince Williams right now is the power forward so K KY kman could be the four you still roll with Desmond B at at the three Marcus Smart who’s a defensive mind of guard at the two which really helps out jaw and jiren Jackson Jr at the five so that again I think he fits I think he fits the timeline for Memphis I think that with the ninth pick depending on who we get with the with our second so um and I I guess we’ll slide back real quick and look at the third and the fifth real quick and even the ninth as far as who would we grab real quick I mean if we get the if if we get the third and we have the second then you go High I mean you grab you know you grab a reace and you grab probably a guard now I will say this man you know and especially since um a couple episodes ago we had a couple guests on admo and Matt madno I’ve CH you know I I’m I’ve studied nicoa toage a little bit man so um the defensive shot still I think could be worked I think he can get better at those areas and I’m actually a little intrigued you know and I would not mind him being a long-term point guard prospect that could be developed I definitely still don’t see him as a guy come in and you can start but I would not be opposed to that so um so we we go ahead and let the ship sell on the third and the fifth pick but ninth pick who would I pick with a second and the ninth um obviously if we grab the ninth pick you don’t need to reach for a center in Donovan kingan which I do like Donovan kingan but if you got the ninth pick you could potentially pick up Zack Eddy in my opinion or khil we in the ninth pick and you there’s a lot of capabilities there you know if we keep the 26 so there’s a lot of moving um moving pieces a lot of domino need to fall but you know ninth pick that gives an opportunity to grab another um high impact player who could fit a need and a a short-term need and a long-term need which Center is a long-term need and a short-term need you know obviously you look at the situation with Marvin Beckley third and ran Holmes and Trion V vukovich being very raw but part of the future so on the ninth pick I think is very attainable very attainable because again Memphis is looking for a win Now cast and Kuma brings Championship pedigree brings experience and he brings another guy who could score and take the burden off of Mor and they you know and CZ while he’s not the worst Defender he’s not the best but you have Defenders that can make up ground and really help him out as far as Desmond Bane he’s a defensive mounted guy Marcus Smart and jiren Jackson Jr at the five so again y’all I think that Memphis is a really really really realistic move including the Detroit I think Detroit and Memphis are very realistic because they’re both teams that you know look Detroit’s trash but with Kate Cunningham and with lot of these young guys man it behooves them to get better sooner and I think the timeline to get better is a lot sooner than the Wizards are we’re going to year two a rebuild we you know I like the young cast in DC but we don’t have a we don’t have a k Cunningham we don’t have that guy that that that one guy to build around yet you know I mean and K Cunningham like I said Detroit it behooves him to surround him with talent and get better sooner than later man so we’re gonna get into the number ninth pick from the you or the number 10th pick my bad uh for the Utah Jazz and a 15th pick for the Miami Heat and there’s a wild card Sacramento uh so we’re going to look at those um picks and see whether they are very realistic for the Wizards to trade back into the lottery but before we do tonight’s episode is brought to you by prize picks so you’re wondering as always right

the free Amazon Fire TV channels app part of the locked on podcast Network your team every single day all right everybody let’s get into the number 10 pick that is held by the Utah Jazz uh so let me get let me go and slide over to their roster now the Utah Jazz is another team where uh they’re in the gray area man I mean they have some talent and they very well could use a k kman they have young talent that and they have it’s sort of of young Talent so they could definitely use a guy like k who’s a leader who’s a veteran who come in and definitely have a championship pedigree influence on USA Jazz because I think they’re going to be better than advertis next year I think that you know looking at the roster I mean obviously konay George right now they have him at the one on ESPN’s depth chart even though I think that he slots in more of a two guard as opposed to Colin seon uh L marinan who could play the four and or the three you got tayor Hendricks at the four you have John Collins playing Center and then your backup center is Walker Kessler which ain’t too shabby um but they’re B needs a little work outside of Jordan Clarkson who he’s always in the every year is always in the talks is being a potential six-man of the Year candidate and you know he was drafted by the Wizards I’m just trying to tell you but U Utah I think that they can utilize K kman I think that they need that one piece because the Western Conference ain’t getting easier I mean you know it’s not to say that the addition of Kyle kosma would make would push him over that hump to compete in the west because the West ain’t easy man I mean the West is obviously the dominant conference but it it ain’t easy man it ain’t easy so I mean I think that for the development part they’re trying to develop and I don’t want to say they’re trying to build from the middle but to a certain de to to a certain degree they are because they have young talent and Keon George you know Taylor hendri is Young you have you know vet and John Collins l marinin a vet but he’s he’s still young and in Colin seon you know so they had a lot of all these guys in the wrest are very young so they could definitely utilize a k kozma so what would see a young player I like to see in return I I mean looking at Roser I mean I’d be looking at the pick I mean I don’t know really any kind of young Talent they’d be willing to give up now again John Collins in this contract situation I mean could we very well take on a bad contract and get another first round pick for John Collins you know John Collins has been a trade Target for the Wizards probably the last three years and it was rumors that um there was a Pia move sending Kyle kumma to Atlanta for John Collins and you know we said it when Bradley Bill and Kyle kman and KP were here would John Collins be that piece that pushed him from being a playing team to maybe a six seed and I said no but I think that if you want to add another first round pick kind of like Detroit and Evan forier man you know this is your best case scenario to get another first round pick if you indeed want to get two first round picks for Kyle kman because again you know John Collins could be a bad contract that we get in return I mean he could slide into the five for us or to four to replace uh kosma and then obviously look we’re still looking to get a top five pick next year which is the big draft man so um you know I think again you know looking at Detroit’s pick and Utah’s pick this is a really good um opportunity for us to grab another first- round pick and I think that Utah could potentially say yes because they I think they need a guy again who has that veteran presence who you know has a championship DNA man and a guy who’s been around the block and then he’s been a leader here in DC so I think he could definitely be that guy in Utah so um we’re going to look at the 15th pick by the Miami Heat all before we do who would I grab with a 10th pick if we indeed U well who would I grab with a second pick if we grab the 10th pick I’m going Center like I said what if we remain at at two I definitely think you either get at this point and like I said with the draft things change as far as analyst myself your mind’s changed too because the draft you know the guy that was number one six months ago ain’t number one now so a lot of things have changed and I think that obviously who we get at two is really dependent on who goes at one right with Atlanta so you know right now it looks like Atlanta really likes rash because so you very well could get alexar at two I think it’s very realistic to get alexar so we grab him who do I grab at a 10 I mean look uh Tan Salon is a guy I’m looking at man Cody Williams is the guy I’m looking at so again you know we have the opportunity to grab a couple of high impact guys who very well could be important pieces of this of this team going forward man so this is an important draft I get a lot of people don’t like the draft but I do and I’m not saying it’s generational or it’s going to blow your socks off man but I think that from the standpoint of a team who’s looking to develop I think this this draft is perfect for a team like the washingt wizard so let’s look at Miami in a 15th overall pick real quick um where you at Miami there you go all right so the 15 pick um right now is up in air with Jimmy Butler you know right he doesn’t seem to be as popular as he once was in Miami obviously with a lot of his rhetoric and you know we know Jimmy Butler you know very talented player an All-Star Talent obviously but you know um his his personality is very electric so Pat Riley is a guy where you know if you look at the heat culture man he doesn’t like players who are very electric and talking a bunch of junk and all that man not I’m not throwing shade on Jimmy that’s his personality works for him and look you know that that really adds to the feel of him being a competitor man but like I said Pat Riley has his certain expectations with the the heat culture so you know but if they retain Jimmy which I think they will at least for this year at the four Nico yo uh yic is a guy that I would ask him return to be honest with you for kma instead of getting a second first rounder I would definitely ask for yic and I think the K could slide right there into four and that’s not a bad lineup man I mean because right now I mean something to change but right now their point guard is um on the death Char and like I said we’re going to the off season there’s a lot of stuff that to change but I’m going off the death charts right now um Terry Rosier is slated to be the points but that can definitely change but tyah hero Jimmy Butler Kyle kman and B Albero makes them a better team in the East now does it make them a team that can compete with the Celtics because I think the Celtics are going to be good for at least the next two to three years man I mean they got a nice Squad they do and I definitely have them nothing against Dallas because um shout out to Nick anet my guy man from my locked on mass man it’s very exciting to see Kyrie and Luc and I think they definitely will be back in the finals I think that that Dallas is G they’re cooking up something in Dallas man but I think this is not the year they’re gonna I think that Boston gets it this year and they’re they’re going to be dominating the East uh but I think that this is a realistic chance for us to get a young player and a pick in return so I would definitely grab the 15 overall pick from Miami and I would grab Nia yic now if they want another player for yic I I definitely would entertain that because yic man if you look at the size i’ I’ve I’ve gone over um yic before you know you guys know I’m really high on yic so I think that you know that’s a realistic move man I would definitely ask for yish man because yish is a nice young talent I think he fits our timeline more than he fits for them not to say that he couldn’t definitely provide some meaningful m in second game but you know you wam hakz Jr um you know Caleb Martin I mean so we we’ll see man I think that it’s a really good move I think that Miami would definitely listen to it so I’m gon go over Wild Card real quick and and like I said these are the five best picks but we’re gonna look at Sacramento and like I said the reason I didn’t include Sacramento initially is because right now if you look at a lot of M mck trades man they’re asking for Harrison Barnes back and honestly if I’m not going to trade kman if we’re goingon to get Harrison Barnes which he’s a a veteran forward who he’s going to be here here you know probably shorter term than CZ but I mean I I’m not high on that but we’re going to get into it so let me get into let me pull up sacramentals um death charts I me obviously they are at number 13 so obviously they are is still a lottery pick that we could obtain um but I would say this they are wild card and they could be very intriguing but me personally what would I ask for back I’m asking for Davon Mitchell and the number 13 back for Kaku because you know and that’s the thing I don’t see them making that move because you know Davon Mitchell is the perfect six-man backup point guard which you know as far as his age would he necessarily fit the timeline in DC with his age because he’s oh I mean 25 so yeah he would so and that’s a big reason why I would ask for him so you know D Mitchell but would they give him up I don’t see it happen man um because Harrison Barnes because they’re not gonna give up Keegan Murray they’re not gonna give up sabonis and D sure a’t gonna give up Daron Fox and I think that if you slide Kyle kman into that three next to um Keegan Murray at the four and sabonis at the five that’s a good team that’s a really nice team man um and you know we’ll see if Malik monk resigns in Sacramento um I think that there’s a strong chance to K he could but again you know we’re talking about the Wizards here so um so Sacramento is intriguing like I said um I did include it because a lot of the tra lot trade packages I’ve seen are centered around Harrison Barnes and I’m not liking that I would definitely ask for Davon but if I’m giving up the 13 overall pick would it be a lot to give up Davon Mitchell too so I don’t know if they listen to that trade uh so you guys comment below let me know which one of these five or now six um draft picks in the lottery do you see is probably the more realistic to trade back into because I definitely think that they should definitely consider trading back into the lottery and grabbing another high impact player to add to the young core we have in DC so uh we’re gonna get into comments and we only got one ad today people so we can slide right into comments so again I appreciate y’all man so let’s get into comments but again uh definitely comment below and let me know which one of these picks you think are the most plausible picks to trade back into the lottery if the Wizards indeed want to trade back into the lottery um and definitely let me know what player and would you include the 26 overall pick so let’s get into comments and we’re gonna start from Numero Uno my man locked on law let’s get rebuilding this project let’s move the team to the projects oh wait man you a trip you are a trip um Area 11 unor T has any Prospect grown on you at two or in general I’m still big on SAR and Castle but King and Missy are grown on me um I you know my should as far as number two pick like I said I’m not I I do like race if Atlanta goes with alexar I think that race is you know I’m not gonna say he’s not a option at two my biggest thing is grabbing his Center and you know I’ve mentioned Donovan kinging and I love Donan kingan as far as his size man does he have his limitations yeah do I think he’s gonna get better yes um but you can deny that a 73 280 pounds he fits the NBA mode as far as having that body to be able to deal with a lot of these franchise centers man so um but but if you know if you have the opportunity to add a lottery Pick and have the opportunity to because kingan could drop after Washington I mean if you look at you know the teams who you know necessarily have a center or I mean the Spurs could they go clean yeah Detroit at five I don’t see going clinging Houston at three I don’t see going clinging because they have shenon and they have Adams for one year Charlotte Mark Williams I mean Portland right now they could pick up clinging for the future but I they already have a starting center um again at eight I can see the Spurs at 10 I don’t see with Utah and at nine you know they could for death behind jiren Jackson Jr but I think he he slides I definitely think he slides the best case scenario for a slide for the clinging would before but I don’t see Houston they don’t have a KN for Center um so I definitely think that you know but what other guys have grown on me Castle I love his size I love the fact that now he wants to play point guard um it depends on what the Wizards want to do I know that for a fact I know that from the horse’s mouth that this front office likes Jordan P you know his his age his skill set does you know match the timeline what the wizard going to do but Castle is a is is a guy with size and he can play defense so he could fit next to Jordan pool in the back court man I do like Castle um let’s see who else man Ras I like Castle clinging at tube but clinging if you don’t add another pick because I don’t think we or um Eddie is going to be available at 26 um that’s about it man I mean topic I I’ll say this topic is I I at first I didn’t get it because the defense you know he needs work the shot I think will get better but man he is Crafty and he’s a crafty guard who’s got man he he’s got some speed to him he can penetrate and his vision is out of this world so topage right now we’ll see I think topis you know as far as point guard of the future man he’s a really interesting project Prospect not oh a project yeah he needs to be developed but I think that I’m not as upset as I would been two weeks ago with the prospect of bringing in top pitch to be totally honest with you lock LW says I don’t get the love for SAR um I think that a lot the love for SAR has to do with the fact that it’s a weak draft now it’s not nothing against SAR because he does you know you see the potential you know he’s he is definitely a top 10 pick in another draft in my opinion if not a top 15 you know you see the potential obviously the the offense you see the massive potential he has as offense but definitely an area that he’s going to have to work on the defense is there man um so you know you know there’s a the weak draft has a lot to do with him being slated number one and like I said six months ago Ron Holland was number one and you know there’s a lot of guys who could potentially make that move man I mean you know Matas bellus we you know we mentioned him a couple videos ago um he’s he’s a guy who’s rising up draft boards uh to Jean Salon uh he’s another guy who’s he’s rising up draft boards Cody Williams so you know there is and I and I in shout out to my man uh wiiz takes man uh my guy um this is was conversation we’re having is that there is really no clearcut you know moves to be made as far as who to pick I mean it’s it’s up in the air right now it’s a wild card from even with one you know there’s no clearcut favorites from one to 10 it’s not I mean it could go so many different ways man um so and I get a lot of teams in in the lottery they’re looking to add now so I I see a lot more trades this year in in the NBA draft man but um and I I like SAR you but so uh Area 11 T said if they were able to trade kozi Detroit for five would you be mad if they came away with two Yukon guys a man I don’t care if they went to Community College if they played basketball man like you know I think it would be good for Cruz man to go back home like I said um you know I think he could definitely better a team like the Detroit Pistons in my opinion I think they could definitely benefit um with a talent with a leader with um a guy who Championship experienced in Kyle kusma so I would not be upset at all oh or you said would You’ be mad if they came away with two Yukon guys I I mean I don’t care what they get man um but I think it’s a good move man but so I appreciate the comment and he also said Area 11 T it’s his defensive versatility and potential offensive shooting ability thank you um having s that can switch on the premier and block shots would be big for the team Amen brother my brother you you took the words right out of my mouth man those are big reasons why alexar is definitely a talent that a lot of people are high on because like you said Area 11 T his def versatility is woo and his potential offensively man I mean I think when he puts it together he’s going to be scary man that’s why a lot of people are saying that he’s kind of wiama light wiama is a lot more polish obviously you know he’s a talent that unreal to his size man but thank you U lock law SE 7 for1 but my sister could knock him over you ain’t right man man you you motivated tonight um we’ll see I mean you know he definitely needs to add 5 10 pounds man definitely if he wants to play center even power forward he needs to have that body so I agree with you man but I think that he’s going to be all right man uh you also said our biggest problem is the paint we have no Rim protection no defense no rebounding no shot yeah I’m with you I’m with you so you know if we grab another pick and we’re able to get KH W out of Indiana or Zack Eddie I’m going Reas I’m going Stefon castle at two if if uh Alex s is not available but I mean if we stay Pat with 26 I’m grabbing Donathan kingan because of that very reason we need a long-term center now do like Mar B of third and if you look at his age he definitely fits the timeline so do they talk does the organization and Marvin Bley of third talk about a possible extension we don’t know right now when I get that news I’ll let you guys know um but you know kingan if we if we stand pad of 26 I I would grab cling man because um but if we have the opportunity to get to get another Center then I go reace or Stefon Castle or you know like I said you know topit is definitely in play for number two um let’s see you also um lock the law also said mock are always wrong but I just traded with San Antonio for the four and eighth I lost out on sawar we saw Shane kinging Lord but you know what that’s what I’m saying there’s still talent I like ton uh Salon I like him I like Cody Williams there’s a lot of talent man so yeah I mean it would suck to the the lose out on SAR you saw Shane kingan but I mean Stefon Castle is is definitely an option topage Cody w i mean there’s a lot of young talent and that’s why I’m saying I don’t get why a lot of these so-called experts are loone this draft Yeah okay I get it nobody in this draft is gonna step right in and contribute I get all that but this is there’s a lot of young talent for one to 15 even in the later stages of the first round there’s a lot of young talent that you know and it’s just a thing this is the perfect draft to charge front offices of the NBA do your job you know and I think that the Wizards front office that’s our big three right now in the front office that we have a comp in front office but this is the challenge to all 30 teams or most of the your teams that are developing or rebanding teams I’ll say that is that this draft is going to challenge you it’s going to see where you at as front as your front as front as your front office are you going to Scout and develop right because this is a draft where if you Scout right you can hit Pay Dirt on the potential Allstar if you Scout wrong that’s gonna say a lot about you because this is a highly Scout and developmental draft so you know I think there’s not so much this is a weak draft this is a draft where you know you’re not gonna get a starter number one and number two it’s gonna put that much more pressure on the front office to and The Scouting Department to be able to scout more pressures on a front office in this draft as opposed to other drafts man um this see man um Victor oh man mouthful Aqua I’m I humbly apologize that Butch you name my brother uh what about the Kings pick at 13 I think that you put this uh comment in before I hit the Kings yeah I think that um I didn’t include it first because I don’t see them including a lot of the young talent I mean Devon Mitchell is a guy that I would go after in my opinion man um because he can defend you know and you could potentially see a backup with him and Jordan p and not have to worry about def being afterthought you know but would they include him I don’t know man I don’t I’m not taking on Harrison Barnes even if it would be an expiring deal because I’m not I’m looking at for the pick so I agree with you man I think that it is plausible you know uh Sacramento has has been linked to kak especially the last couple years so it’s definitely a plausible pick uh let’s see L law also said nothing to trade for 13 unless you trade fature first that happening yeah I agree with you a self-made man in California what’s good how you doing today uh 20 27 pi Jordan pool trade and kissper for 15 uh pick Miami then K the trade deadline for 2025 pick h ah man I you know I don’t know if this front office make that move man I’m G tell you um would Jordan P personally benefit from the heat culture absolutely I think that’s why got the burps y’all um excuse me um I think that’s why a lot of people put Jordan p as a link to Miami because I think you know that leadership part is I can mold him as a leader I think that Jordan PA is a young man uh who shown that he can handle the criticism to be one of your Marky guys but um the the key culture and I think that the culture here in place would definitely benefit Jordan P but I agree with you um and kissper you know kissper is going he’s gonna be an expiring contract this year um this is a contract year so he would be a restricted free agent so whether it’s us or another team they would have his rights as far as um countering any offer so ah we’ll see man we shall see but I think that if they make any if they want to gain any picks right now it’s going to be for this year and for next year I think they definitely want to move back in and I think the 20125 man with Cooper flag and like I said it’s there a lot more Talent more than Cooper flag and obviously after this season coming up I’m still gonna be here so we’re gonna go over uh 2025 when the time comes man but there’s a lot more Talent you know but I wouldn’t really go Cooper Flagger bus man because there’s a strong chance we probably not get C flag unless we get that number one pick man and we we’ve seen with this draft lottery this year how hard it is to get a number one pick when you’re trash Detroit is hurting right now man and Atlanta nobody in in this world thought that Atlanta was going to get that pick man DC hoopla what’s up man how you doing tonight man could Denny and the 26 DST another first yeah I could absolutely absolutely I think this is conversation we had man so um you like I said shout out to my guy DC Hoopa man I CH we talk a lot of ball man so you know we definitely definitely like-minded when it comes to the vision of the team going forward so yeah I mean I think though I mean look man look I like Denny but let’s be real Denny is a tradable asset you know I think you know a lot of us agree that he is tradable I don’t necessarily want to see him moved yet unless it’s a really good trade and you know think if it’s too good to pass up you make that move man because obviously look this front office their investment started with what Bala kulali everybody else was a Tommy Shepard move so you know how much you know loyalty does his front office have to young players like you know um you know Denny or Cory kissper or even Johnny Davis which Johnny Davis load have mercy I’m not going to start with that but um so I think yeah absolutely I think he could SL o says I would go for topz and kingan or Eddie you know look I think that depending on the pick I mean I think kingan can drop to nine or 10 because Utah doesn’t need a center and so I think that you could mess around and get clean um in the later stages of the lottery around a 10 pick um but Eddie I’m I’m with you topic I’m intrigued I I really am as far as him being a long-term point guard um Prospect for The Watcher wizard because he’s got the size he’s got the vision I mean I I’ve been looking at a lot of topish last week man and his passes woo I mean his you know like the shots gonna get there but I wouldn’t expect immediate impact with a shot defense you know we’ll see um but topage man I’m with you Stuart I’m definitely with you man um lock the law says trading Denny just creates another roster ho I I agree with you you don’t make that move because you know outside of balow you know Denny is a young Talent where I think he hasn’t I you know I think he’s going to get better man in my opinion so I don’t think you know unless the deal blows your socks off you don’t make that move now kissper with him going to a contract year it becomes a little more tradable now do I necessarily want to see us lose a shooter and a guy who can definitely be um a walking bucket off the second unit nah you know but so we’ll definitely see I think you definitely need somebody to replace him as being that that three-point shooter Off the Bench man if you indeed him uh again self-made man in California I like wear at 15 athletic center he is what we need D yes I’m with you um I I like wear man I and like I said uh Sunday night I’m gonna go over wear and Zack Eddie so we’re gonna look at both of them I’m gonna go over their uh their Scout report and so I’m glad you reminded me man so um you’re definitely gonna go over wear I agree with you I like wear if you can pick him up I’m with you on that let’s see lock and law talk pick for kosma I’m not seeing that how how we going uh not going to have or the same role or the same value on the playoff team yeah I agree he’s not going to have the same role I mean he’s not going to be a number one scorer for probably the 28 teams in the league you know but he’s definitely a guy who can be a scoring punch to help take the pressure off of your star player or he could be a bench piece who could be a six-man who can definitely be a walking bucket on the second unit man so top 10 pick and this draft is considered weak draft you could definitely get a top 10 pick um but next year I don’t see it happen man so you know that’s why he he’s the most tradable asset as far as a veteran piece so that’s why he’s always that name man uh Vic my man Vic for ausma trading you have to be more realistic something like Barnes Davon and 13 for kma it might not be sexy but it gets the front office another lottery pick you know my guy Vic man I agree with you that is a good trade now like I said I’m hesitant on Barnes let’s take a look at barnes’s Contract real quick because I believe you you know me I I like to be real um i’ like to give you up todate information so let’s see what his cont track is real quick because if he’s expiring maybe you make that move so let’s see sport track says uh for the 24 25 season uh he has one more year left after this so he is not an expiring deal uh so it’ be two years ah I’m hesitant man I you know the contract is similar to kosas and that’s the reason why I wouldn’t make that move because if you’re going to I mean you have a similar player in kzo so why make that move even if but Davon MIT in 13 I love that Vic man so definitely appreciate the comment man my man link said I definitely said it before but I think we really need to try to trade C for lottery pick I agree with you yeah he averaged 226 and four but for him to get that caused many L’s I watch every game and saw brother I watch every game too man and I’m with you you know he can definitely be he’s definitely a score man um and like I said I’ve said the time and time again you know I like a lot about C man but I think that it’s getting to be more more more plausible that this is the perfect time to move him in my opinion so I think that I’m with you you know if you have the opportunity to trade him with the 26 to gain another pick in the lottery man you make that move man you make that move in my opinion so I definitely definitely appreciate that man you also said with that being said if we can get two lottery picks at least one should be a good impact player next year I AG but I mean it’s not to say there’s not guys in this draft that can be immediate impacts but it’s getting tough because um and it’s it’s from a scouting standpoint it’s it’s really tough to the to predict that man because just always like five guys every draft was like you did you had low expectations they blew your socks off Ken Woodmore I liked him man obviously DMV guy but the impact he had I mean he was he was more NBA ready than a lot of Scouts and a lot of NBA analysts gave him you know credit for man so I definitely agree with that let’s see I give Indiana the two for sabonis I don’t brother sabonis ain’t on the team no more man so I think they definitely hang up on that one man but I um maybe Miles Turner you mean um but let’s see John hick said I want Ron Holland so all right everybody let’s see uh we’re getting around the 40 minute Mark so um I’m try to knock out as many as I can um let’s see I’m gonna try to knock out two more comments everybody like I said I appreciate you guys rocking with your boy on Friday night because you guys know how we do on Friday night man and man I tell you man I got some man yeah I got this some vodka made in Montana that’s staring at me right now so U let’s see uh let’s see I’mma get you guys a couple more um L law said I’m not allowed to say what I think of bronnie this is his family channel bronnie I think he’s going to either LA or Phoenix with their second round pick man I can see him going to LA with his dad I I made it known what I felt man I’m I’m just I’m just gonna keep it there man um let’s see Dan 7 Eco 84 said I read Denny to thunder for Giddy and the 12th pick in a filler you know like I said would I make that pick nah man I mean I’m hesitant to give up Denny man now giddy depends on the cont I don’t know man I mean look not even talk about the whole mess off the court because look he didn’t catch charges I’m not gonna get in all that but you know gidy is a young guy where the connection his connection to with Dawkins is something to note there’s nothing that you ignore you there’s definitely connection there so but the give up Denny I don’t know man I’m a little hesitant but we’ll definitely see and this is goingon to be my last one tonight y’all shook B one sit I like Denny I feel he’s loyal to the whiz and he’s shown real progress keep I agree with you like I said when you know he I don’t think he has reached that his potential yet I think he’s definitely gonna get better in my opinion and you know he he likes being here you know he likes what they’re trying to do here and you know he likes being part of the young core so if the if the deal Wows you then you make that move but ah man I I’m hesitant to make that move right now man um right now the most trade I mean not to say he’s not tradeable he’s definitely tradeable but I think that you definitely retain him you know Cory kisper to me is more of tradable even though I do like kiss man I think that every team needs a shooter and I would not I I’m not willing to give up kiss’s shooting ability unless we get a shooter back with through the draft some other some other way man uh oh we got a couple more comments y’all keep me busy Uptown D said yo my brother what’s going on brother how you doing man and be more get up I hope he suck again and get number one next season I want Co flag I think everybody does man but like I said um there’s a lot there’s a lot of talent next year draft man so Cooper flag you know we only way you get them is number one man but not to say you definitely get some Talent next year so hey man we GNA call it Theon night um definitely appreciate you guys as always man I like you know appreciate you guys rocking

Bilal was a surprise pick last year, very few expected. What would be this years surprise pick? Does Winger/Dawkins have another surprise up their sleeve this year?
It's simple, draft Rob Dillingham at #2, trade Kuzma to get back into top 10 and draft Edey. Edey is your franchise centerpiece that you draft and develop around for the next 12 – 15 years!!!
Isn't it crazy that it's Gafford VS Porzingis in the NBA Championship…. Wizards, STOP TRADING AWAY YOUR TALENT! 😁
We have to turn Kuxma into Topic aka Dollar Store Luka.
I don't see who Wiz could get two high quality 1RD picks for Kuz unless team is desparate and has tons of extra assets. Even then…
Kuz on right team is a viable 3rd best player and a fantastic 4th best player.
Gafford with DAL makes Gafford look like a great player. Same with Porzingis at BOS.
If we could get a #5 would be a dream but I don't see DET trading #5 for Kuz.
Maybe #9-to-#15 pick is possible…
Topic or Castle could def work for a pick but I'd prob go for Sarr/Rissacher for #2.
No more PGs under 6'4 please — we already have Poole and we need our top-5 to be able to play adequate defense..
wiz needs taller PG or use Deni as one for the meanwhile when higher Guard needed. he can play all positions decently dew to being the PG at high-school. but the biggest need is a 5 who can make real D and also spread the floor.
Brandon… Do you want to trade everyone away? We have to build with what we have.
Wizards have a decision to make – to build around Deni or trade him. He's the only tradeable thing that a winning team would like, Kuz and JP are bad decision makers and weak D guys, no winner would like them, so you can trade them underpriced only. So do you want to build around Deni or trade him for a haul? Then you decide what how draft should be.
