the odds in Vegas to be the team to land Josh gidy so we’re gonna look at does he fit with what the Wizards going are trying to do long term babali was left out of the all rookie team did he get snubbed or was there valid reason to keep him off and at the end we’re gonna look at three main scenarios three picks where we could definitely trade a veteran contract and or a pick to move back into the loty so we’re going to explore that so let’s get into it Josh giddy all right so this report came from uh this is from NBA Central at the dunk Central on Twitter AKA X but it’s also through uh the source is per bado official and I checked them out um to see if that’s a legit source um and their perspective is is is a source that goes off of betting and right now uh the odds are as far as the betting sites the Washington Wizards are at a plus 450 to land Josh gidy so we are the betting favorites to win Josh giddy or they call it the Josh giddy sweep Stakes but um other teams uh Utah Jazz at plus 500 the Knicks at plus 500 uh the Pelicans at plus 600 and the magic at plus 700 and then you have the Pistons in the heat um so let’s get into it and as you guys know I’m looking at this um the Josh giddy sweet from every perspective um so we’s start with his way um how would he fit now what I like about Josh Giddy and I and like I said I didn’t watch too much Thunder basketball unless come to DC you know I am a basketball fan but I don’t I watched a little bit of Thunder games man on but Josh giddy I will say this looking at his size and his ability to play the point guard the shooting guard and a small forward position he’s very very versatile um his size does match with what the Wizards are trying to do especially from offensive and defensive standpoint to the degree that you at 68 216 pounds the ability to play three positions he definitely fits a mode in my opinion um he definitely now looking at a potential lineup would he play point I see Jordan P being that guy and or another point guard I don’t see him playing Point could be subject to change if the organization is that if that’s what they want to do but I don’t see him at point now where would he fit as a two guard or small forward on this team obviously B Kali you know one of them are going to play the two guard or the small forward and you probably look at Denny AIA moving to the four if indeed Kyle kman is moved in a potential deal for Josh giddy um so you potentially look at a lineup a very tall lineup with bow Josh Giddy and Denny in the starting five including a and um right now Jordan P at point guard so um could he fit hypothetically yes now let’s get into his stats real quick um uh this will be his third uh year in the league so obviously next year would be his aspiring deal on a rookie scale contract so he will be eligible for a rookie scale extension but looking at his statistics real quick um he has started every game he’s played in the league now if you look at his past um the 2023 to 20 2024 season which are we are currently in he played 80 games he started 80 games um previous year 76 games played 76 games started so he’s been a starter you know he’s definitely been a guy who started now getting to the playoffs totally different scenario obviously as you know he did he uh did not start every game in the playoffs and but at the looking at the regular season he started every game 80 games so from a longevity standpoint from an injury-free standpoint he he does not get injuries too much you know he’s definitely available and I said it time to time again you know availability is your best ability so he has definitely he’s definitely been available you know again 80 games played 80 games started now let’s get into his stats real quick now he did average around 25 points this year and which went down from 31 minutes game from the previous two years three point percentage did go up but considering he shot 33% from three now he did it did come up from 32 and then his rookie year was 26 but you know League average 35 so three-point shot is something that you definitely want to see him improve on especially from a consisten standpoint uh his fial percentage was 47% went down one um slightly from 48% the previous year but then he uh he was around 41% his rookie year so he definitely got better as far as shot selection and shooting high percentage shots uh other status to look at uh shot 8% from free throw he averaged around 6.4 rebounds which wins down from 7.9 the previous year um his he average around 4.8 assists per game which went down for 6.2 um and then he was around 6 Stills and6 rebounds and his point per game was 12.3 points per game which went down from 16.6 and his rookie year was 12 per game so look the guy has the size you know he’s got the defensive prows to fit with DC his shot you definitely want to see better shooting numbers as far as his three-point shot uh but his field goal percentage is definitely right around you know League average and is slightly better so is definitely what you want to see um so let’s cuz so hypothetically he fit into what the Wizards are trying to do absolutely you know the kid could definitely fit into the long-term Vision because he’s 21 years old now let’s get into the other side of everything the other perspective shall we number one contract you know if you look at someone else we got on the roster Cory kissper who indeed is going to need a rookie scale extension it looks to me if you make a move go get Josh kidy you’re going to have to lose Cory kisper and like I said looking at the shooting numbers Cory Kiser is better shooter by far I mean so you’re going to be losing a really good three-point shooter a guy who you know not only can shoot the three-point shot and hit the mid-range who with his ability of not you know slash to the basket attacking the basket and his basketball IQ you know to me you’re taking it’s you’re taking more of an L than you getting a dub in my opinion you know because you’re losing a shooter and and even then you uh Cory kissman is not gonna be the only player that you’re going to lose in that move you know there’s been a lot of reports about the um the situation where Denny AIA was a guy that was in route to Oklahoma City and to me I don’t want to see Den alard mov not for Josh giddy in my opinion I don’t want to see him if you move anybody especially with a young team you move a vet like a Kyle kosma and like I said I like Kyle kma he’s been good for this team but we know you guys heard me say it a thousand times his contract is very Team friendly and you know Oklahoma City could definitely use a guy who can drop 20 plus points a night so they need a score so I would I’m more inclined to move Kyle kman than would Denny Avia because Denny’s still young and he’s still you know you still mold him and he’s still developing and you’re starting to see him come to fation of what he can do offensively as well as defens offensively as well as defensively I’m sorry um so he’s starting to really develop and in my opinion has arrived as being that three and D guy in my opinion now obviously with Denny you want to see more consistency to seean himself as being that guy as a three and D Wing but you know in other factors his vision there’s so many factors why I would not let Denny go to okl man not for Josh kidy I mean I I would definitely hold on to to Denny aan man because I think that he’s definitely going to mold into a really really good player man which he’s already a really good player but I guess what I’m saying is I think he could be molded into I still think he can be molded into a star the same thing with BL gal I think both of these guys to me would be untouchable now you could argue to a certain degree that Bal may be a little more Untouchable considering he’s been here only one year but I I don’t want to see any young players being moved man I definitely want to see us retain our young guys and if we indeed do move a young guy maybe throw Johnny Davis into the the equation but even then how much value would he really have so another thing you know looking at his legal situation obviously he was cleared of any wrongdoing with what his legal situation was with the underage uh I guess dealing with an underage female which was wasn’t the case um I was actually at Capital One for the Oklahoma City Thunder game and I know that every time he touched the ball he got booed by the Capital One fan base man so I mean he got off of the charges like I said I’ve touched base on certain players who either you know either one had illegal issues or two had mental issues or stuff going on and I’ve advocated for most of them man especially guys who you know had um special special issues you know miles Bridges um not so much Kevin Porter but miles Bridges but and I try to look at every situation every perspective every the every lens and I’m not really gonna get into his legal situation but to me is this you’re going to have to resign him if you indeed trade for him and so that means cor kbank will get sign because somebody’s got to be the oddb out in the situation right if you bring Josh giddy in and like I said if you look at the shooting statistics yes defensively he is a better player than Cory kisper defensively but offensively wow he I love his size 68 I love his weight I love his versatility I mean do I necessarily want to lose a shooter like Cory kisper I don’t wouldn’t I mean look I like Cory kissper I definitely think that you we should talk to him about a rookie extension but I’m not at a place where I’m saying that he’s Untouchable if you if you have to include him in a deal for a player then if it’s necessary then you make that move same thing with Kyle kman I like Kyle kman and you don’t necessarily need to move Kyle kman man but if you find a good deal you make that move you know I like Daniel Gafford and but we moved him got a first- round pick and he in this situation you know was really a win-win for both teams because we got a first round pick and they got a player where if you look at what gff’s do in the Dallas man they’re in the Western Conference Finals I’m just trying to tell y’all man so um Josh giddy would I make that move I’m gonna say no I’m gonna say the same thing with Brandon Ingram man even though I am a big Brandon Ingram fan I love the intangibles of Josh giddy man and before I even make my choice whether I would do it or not it really I mean it really begs a question is the front office trying to expediate this rebuild and you know because they made it known that they want to build a sustainable winner so are we looking at a scenario where they’re building for the now and in the future and I can see that scenario but then it also kind of brings you back to the middle build strategy of the previous regime regime so would I make the move to get Josh giddy I’m gon say no because while his age does fit the timeline 21 years old and while I do think he’s going to continue to develop and I think he’s definitely GNA get better as far as his shooting numbers especially from the perimeter you know you somebody’s got to be the OD man out and while Cory kissper being moved I’m not really upset about even though I really like kissper who else you going have to give up and MoneyWise is like so I don’t think it fits the timeline even though his age does fit the timeline because right now you’re trying to get more guys on rookie scale contract you’re not trying to because we already paying P we’re already paying um Kyle kosma and we’re and then the extension for Den AIA kicks in so right now I don’t want to see us add any more salary even you know and obviously again if we bring in Josh gidy we’re going to have to extend him so I think he’s a really good player and like I said I’m not judging on any of the legal stuff I’m not gonna get into that um I’m going off purely his on court production and I like Josh kidy and like I said his versatility really I really like his versatility I like his size and I think he can be a really good player and I think he could fit in DC and and technically does he fit the timeline yes at 21 years old so I’m 50-50 to be honest with you guys man I’m very 5050 because while he could fit the timeline to me it’s just a matter of who we giving up because I’m not giving up Den Aya and I’ll be inclined to move a kma I’ll be inclined to maybe move Cory kitur um it all depends on who we move I’m very fitty fitty because again his age his size his versatility I do like so comment below everybody I I don’t know I’m I’m 5050 man because I the age he does fit the timeline it’s just you know I guess if you look at the one last Factor you know going back to you know his legal issues we know that ton man does not like have anybody that has any kind of issues or any kind of noise surrounding them man so and again I saw the crowd and how they reacted to him in Capital One would he be received in Capital One that’s my question for you guys definitely comment below would Josh giddy be accepted in Capital One considering his past legal issues um but I think that you know I’m V I’m very fitty fitt everybody because I think he does fit but it all it all comes down to what are we giving up and to me J AIA Bali a couple guys that I’m not including in any deal right now now it’s not to say that Denny is not a movable asset is that for Josh giddy to me he’s not in my opinion I wouldn’t want to see him in a potential move for Oklahoma City man I would definitely want to retain him if we get Josh giddy so um definitely comment below let me know what you guys are thinking man with Josh gidy would you want him here would you not and why oh we’re gonna get into Bala kabali and he was left out of the all rookie team why was that we’re gonna look at it was he snubbed or was he not we’re gonna look at it but before we do tonight’s episode is brought to you by FanDuel so if it’s winner take all NBA and NHL and FanDuel giving you a shot to bring home a big win of your own right now new customers get

this was through sham shirana obviously he is a top Source man shout out to the athletic and he uh the 2023 2024 NBA all rookie teams all right so looking at your first team is Victor wanyama Chad holgren Brandon Miller hame hawz Jr and Brandon uh Pinsky so I really don’t have any argument with that I mean if you look at the first three names wh miyama and chol gr both they’re obvious you know guys who definitely deserve to be an all rookie team Brandon Miller really did his thing man is is his wing in Charlotte hame really I mean he really went above expectations and Brandon Pinsky You could argue maybe he could slide to the second team but definitely deserve to be on all rookie team now looking at the second team Derek lley the second you know very intriguing law threat um can’t be limited offensively but definitely um in the center rotation with Daniel Gafford so dere Lively in my opinion he does deserve it excuse me GG Jackson yeah I mean he had a really good year especially the fact that he was a second round pick ktha George out of the usah Jazz um definitely his brothers in this year’s draft uh aan Thompson and Cas Wallace so I’ll say this and looking at Bow Man um we know what bow can and can’t do all right um obviously from a defensive standpoint he is very very polished as a defensive player man I mean if you look at his blocks his steals his intangibles his wingspan his instincts his uh defensive basketball IQ he’s a really good Defender and he came in you know just kind of like d uh Denny where yes right now Denny is definitely the better Defender but you know Bow’s not too far behind him man you know he came into the league very polished defensively and obviously he can still get better he’s not a finished product but he he’s definitely a really really really good defensive player if not well above average in my opinion now the offense let’s talk about the offense real quick looking at his stats is here uh he did play in 63 games obviously uh left with injury in the latest stages of the Season he started 15 games he a around 27 minutes a game he shot 43% from the field so it’s slightly less than League average he did shoot 34% from three so when he had the looks he hit the I mean you know not too bad I mean looking at his three-point shot it’s not that broken to where it’s like man we’re dealing with a guy who can’t shoot at all it’s just making improvements on the shot you know faster release definitely working on on the mechanics of the shot but this shot if you look at the form is not broken and so 34% is not too bad but you definitely want to see improvements from that um looking at some other 4.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists so he AAG almost a steal and almost a block per game and points per game 8.4 points a game so obviously offensively you definitely want to see some improvements from B but defensively he’s definitely very very polished man you see a lot of potential with him being a potential three and D Prospect now did he get snubbed I mean if looking at this list I’mma say I’mma say yeah he is and I’mma say slightly I I do I case Wallace to me I think is a is a guy that I could probably switch out with blow um even though I think I really do like case Wallace in my opinion I there’s nothing against Case Wallace but um but what’s gonna what really gets below in in this talk is his offense because if you look at you know certain other factors man I mean even case Wallace if you look at the fact that you know um he played seven less minutes per game and he had he shot 49% from the field and 41% from three so I mean you know and also a defensive player so like I said I think he got SN to a certain degree it’s just this is not this is a really B you know hard year to really come with all rookie because every person on the list is deserving I mean you can’t really look at anybody on his list and say that oh well he really didn’t deserve because obviously you know Victor wi beam man that’s easy Chad Hol gr Easy Money Brandon Miller he he looks like he could be a really good piece in Charlotte man in my opinion um ham hwz Jr had a really good year in Miami and Brandon Pinsky man you know he did his thing with a Golden State Warriors team who is in transition right now you know obviously the old heads are on their way out if not this year definitely within the next couple years man and looking at the second team um GG Jackson played well as a second round pick you know DED likely Lively Jr did well in Dallas 14 is now in the West Conference Finals I mean Keon George did well in so yeah I mean yes and no I mean yeah I think that he should have been mentioned you know he he didn’t get any first place V he did get third uh third place votes um but it’s just one of those situations where it’s not so much he got snubbed is that this is such a you know huge class as far as rookies man lot of talent in the draft as far as who came in and who contributed and like I said it’s not so much of a snub you can say it’s a snub but um but it’s just so much talent as far as young talent and I think that’s a testament to where this league is going man because look as you guys know the league is in transition right now you know LeBron James is older he’s on his way out you know a lot of your old play you know Kevin Durant is in the latest stages of his career Stephen Curry Klay Thompson list goes on and you look at Players like Anthony Edwards man you know he definitely could be one of those guys who could be the face of the league you know so these guys with this all rookie team man these are guys who are going to be really really good players in the league and it really shows you how much young Talent we have in the NBA man I think the NBA is definitely in good hands when a lot of these iconic players such as LeBron and and and Kevin Durant finally retires that we have a lot of young Talent here in the NBA man and if you add in the fact that it’s such a diverse League that stretches all over the the globe man I like the state that the NBA is in man so I you know whether bow got snuffed I’m Not Gon it’s really fitt fitt it’s kind of like the whole Josh giddy thing yeah you can say he did but then it’s like who do you look on the list and say oh he really doesn’t deserve it man I mean there’s a lot of good players on the list so I think it has a lot to do is just he’s that guy out man he’s the odd man out and you know bow man if you watch watching the show man you had a really good rookie gear and obviously it didn’t end the way you wanted to but I think that Bala is definitely going to be a good player for years to come man you know he’s got a lot of development to do but you see that dog you see that fire in him you see that potential and I think he’s gonna be all right man so you know in hindsight I think looking back man he’s gonna be more concerned with All-Star appearances than he is with an all rookie team in my opinion so we’re gonna get into the last subject of the night uh I see three draft or uh you know draft day uh scenarios where the Wizards can trade back into the lottery and pick up another high impact player so we’re going to look at that but before we do tonight’s episode is brought to you by prize pick so you guys are wondering Brandon what is prize picks well easy prize pick is America’s number one fany sports platform all right so give me a second everybody I didn’t I didn’t lost that so um it won’t work with me so uh prize picks real quick um I lost add but prize picks um definitely definitely recommend prize picks man um you put pick more less 10 players in their projections and you can win up to 100 times your money man and in some cases you know even if you bet five players you get three out of five you will get money back man so all you have to do is go to prospects.com lockon NBA and use promo code locked on NBA for a first deposit match up to $100 all right everybody let’s get into it man um you know how it is with technology not you know everything works all the time so definitely appreciate you rocking me through prospects but again I definitely recommend prospects everybody that is my go to when it comes to fantasy sports man so let’s get into I have three main scenarios where I think the Wizards can trade back into the lottery and pick up another high impact player um so we’re GNA start with the first one and I’ve seen this trade scenario a few times especially online um but this I’mma knock this one out first the fifth pick for the Pistons all right hear me out so the Pistons had the fifth pick this with the trace N I saw and definitely um shout out to a few people man I’m um but I’ve seen this trade a few times on social media and the trade was sitting Kyle kman home because he is from Flint Michigan home to the Detroit Pistons for the fifth overall pick and um what’s that player’s name vaser man I’m trying to remember um so what I would I trade Kyle kman to the Pistons for their fifth overall pick and in doing so who would I pick yes I would I think that Kyle kman man like I said I made it known that I do like kman as a player I think as a as a person he’s dope you know he brings many aspects to the district man as far as fashion leadership you know he’s putting he’s setting his roots in the district a lot of gons see him stay but we all know that number one his his contract is a Team friendly contract number two the M Mo behind his contract was eventually he was gonna get moved at some point when they best behoove the Washington Wizards so with a potential deal to the Pistons I think that they get a guy who is definitely going to provide you 20 plus points a night you know he’s definitely going to be a homegrown not homegrown but a you know a HomeTown guy cuz again he’s from nearby Flint Michigan so you know you’re definitely a homecoming for Kyle kman I think it’ll be a good move for them because look Detroit man they have to start making progress because you know they’re rebuilding team but they’ve made you know certain moves as far as Drafting and free agency and they got they gotta start making mov because eventually K Cunningham is gonna be up and you know he’s they gota they gotta find a way to keep him in Detroit man because you do not want K Kahan walking man you don’t want that to happen so um even though you know looking at restrictor free agency and they have a lot of things put in place to where keeping them in Detroit is a lot easier to let them go but they have to start getting this stuff together man you know what I mean so uh kle kman to the Detroit Pistons for the fifth pick man would be a really good move now who would I pick now if I get the fifth pick from the Pistons I’m gonna go ahead and get Zachary Reas and that was that name has been connected with a lot of these trades with the Pistons I would grab him and then I turn around to use a fifth pick on Donovan Clinton and then out of that draft you got Zachary rash who’s slated to be a three and D Wing who you could probably put in a lineup with a BL kabali and with a den Avia and then you turn around get Donovan kingan who if you look at the teams in front of them I mean Houston’s not gonna get a center they already have shenon and they have um Stephen Adams so you don’t have any room I mean yeah they only have Stephen mam for a year but you’re really going to draft the guy in a lottery let him just not play at all because play him in this you know we’ll see weell but I don’t think they’re going to grab another Center in my opinion I think they’re set center with shenon long term and Stephen Adams holding down a second unit for one year so if we get if we indeed traded um Kyle kman to the Detroit Pistons out for the fifth overall pick um I would definitely with the second overall pick I would draft Zachary reace and I would turn around with the fifth if he’s still available grab Donovan kingan now if Kling is not available I might we gonna talk about that but um I that’s how I roll man you know rash shet and King will definitely be my picks if we indeed traded Kyle kman to the Pistons for the fifth overall pick another pick to look at for a team that right now is looking for some Talent um John Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies the ninth pick now who would I trade again K I mean and that’s the thing with a lot of these trade scenarios and realistically with any trade scenarios with this draft coming up K kman is going to be the guy that’s going to be able the trade commodity because right now does Jordan P have enough value and right now that a lot of people in organization do like Jordan p and see him as a long-term piece so I mean your really only trade bait right now is Kyle kusman because he has a Team friendly deal and he has a skill set that a lot of teams are going to need now do we need that skill set absolutely we need we you know look you can’t take away the fact that he can score 20 plus a night I mean the biggest thing is just with DC with the Wizards man the biggest thing is scouting and development and with his contract eventually he’s going to be a move at some point so kl kman to the Memphis G because again you know if they move Desmond Bane to the two guard got Jackson at the four I think that you know they definitely could need another guy another scor and that team to help take the burden off of JW Morant so in acquiring a ninth pick who would I pick I you know with the two the second overall um it changed a little bit I made it known that um with the second overall pick my top three y’all is definitely Zachary rash Donovan kingan and definitely Stefon Castle those top three for the number two um and those are the three players that one of those guys would be the guy that I would pick at number two barring others situation obviously so with a ninth pick I would definitely go after because I I still think we need a center everybody so I would definitely grab Donathan kinger with the number two overall and then I would use the ninth overall pick on Cody Williams or tan salon because I think that both of them men have very high ceilings as far as forwards and I think they can be balls man I mean and both of them are slated to be top 10 picks I mean Cody Williams and ton Salon I mean both of them are forwards who they fit the timeline you know Cody Williams is 18 Theon Salon is 19 I believe or it might be flipflop but um they’re young they have the size they have the bodies for the NBA and yes they need to be developed but you see massive potential coming out of salon and Cody Williams man so if we had picked up the ninth pick from the Grizzlies for Kyle kma uh and P subject to another player um I would definitely get Donan cling with number two overall and I will turn around and draft Cody Williams or Deon Salon um depending on who’s on the board at the top the final pick I see for a scenario where the Wizards can trade back into the lottery and pick up another high impact player is the 15th pick with the Miami Heat now again you can look at maybe both K kman or Jordan P being scenarios because you know could the heat culture help a player like Jordan P where you know the heat culture really holds people to a standard yes yes now we know about Jordan P he’s a great young Talent who took his lv’s had a lot of trials and tribulations he had his struggles this year but um he’s definitely a player who can play he’s definitely in my opinion is still a guy who you know he’s not even close to being his Prime and he has future All-Star written all over him now could he benefit for being in an environment like the Miami Heat and the heat culture absolutely and I think that a culture like that could definitely get him where he needs to be mentally to be that All-Star player do I think that DC could also provide the same absolutely I think Brian Keith and the coaching staff you know David fpol and what this team has going on I think we could also do the same so I don’t I mean you could make that move with Jordan pool to Miami for the 15th overall especially if you want to get that contract off the bcks but like I said this organization and a lot of people in the fan base do like Jordan p and think that at his age and the fact that he’s not in his prime yet he could be part of the future and I’m also one of those people um so you could again see K who may be a guy who can help the Miami Heat take that final step because they’re a team that’s looking to make the playoffs they’re you know right now they’re in a gray we don’t know if Jimmy Butler is going to get an extension there there’s a lot of questions but they could be a player like kma away from being a serious threat in the Eastern Conference in my opinion so um for the so Kyle kman or Jordan P to the 15 or to the Miami Heat for the 15th overall pick who would I pick I would have to go Zachary race or Stefon castle with a number two overall pick and then turn around and get Zack Eddie from Purdue with the 15th overall pick because in this draft again I think we need to grab a high selling Prospect who can play the two or play the wing and we definitely need a center man so we can come out of that draft with a center and a guard or slash forward a really high selling guy like AR re like a Cody Williams like a salon there’s a lot of good young talented draft and that’s what I’m trying to tell y’all man is that the M MO is that this draft is weak no it’s not is that you’re not gonna get an immediate impact starter in this draft and that is true but there is a lot of talent in this draft lot lot and lots of talent man that stretches all the way through the lottery I mean like I said Cody Williams I mean because I’ve touched based on a lot of prospects to this point man and like I said if you’re able to grab a salon a reash a Cody Williams I mean these are guys that are definitely could add to the talent and the vision of this team going forward long term so like I said you have to really be you know you have to hit this draft you know I know everybody’s looking at the next draft if not the next couple drafts obviously is very you know topheavy with a lot of names like you know um Cameron Boozer and the list goes on but this draft you you have the opportunity to grab some talent that you can develop and they could potentially there are Allstars in this draft do not get it mistaken man there are All-Star potential in this draft and I mentioned a lot of them man I think that we’re in a position where um if we want to build for the future we can do it in this draft and if we if we want to make moves to make this team more competitive to a certain degree you can make those moves but you got to ask yourself if you’re the front office in Washington that what is more important the rebuild or immediate success because you know we all have our C belt on for a longterm rebuild that is going to be done right I fully believe that this front office is going to do it right I have all the faith in the world in Will Dawkins Michael Winger and Travis schlink I think they definitely know what they’re doing the Brain Trust is definitely in place and adults are finally in the building you know we have a big three in the front office you know and I get it our name has been connected to not only Brandon Ingram not Josh giddy and now you know and like I said this team showed last year in the second half of the Season especially within the last 10 games that in the te when a team plays as a cohesive unit when a team plays with some speed a fast transitional offense this team’s not too bad and you know right now they’re adding these final pieces so you know look um would I want Brandon inam here yes would I want Josh giddy here yes but you know here’s the thing you know we’re in a rebuild so I’m going to put my I’m put my confidence and I’m going to get let I’m going go ahead and let the front office cook I’m let them do their thing um I’m doing my due diligence as far as all the prospects and trade scenarios man but um getting back to the draft because I’m I’m changing subjects y’all um getting back to the draft um these three draft picks I think are the most plausible draft picks that if indeed we want to trade back into the lottery and pick up another high impact player um I think the fifth pick would be money especially if you can grab Zachary and donin kingan that would be the best case scenario the ninth pick from Memphis you know like I said if you’re able to grab a guy in with a ninth pick like a Cody Williams a tan salon I think you make that move the 15th pick you know there’re still good talent you know Zack Eddie is slated he he’s he is rored to be a target of the Miami Heat so if you’re able to grab you know a wing or guard with is uh number two overall Zack Eddie again could be a really good Center here in DC um so I think we’re in good hands man so we covered a lot tonight y’all uh Josh giddy should would he fit here long term Bak laal was he snubbed or was he not and some definitely three scenarios where the Wizards can trade back into the lottery and grab another high impact player so comment below let me know what you guys are thinking man definitely let me know how you guys feel about Josh giddy let me know how you know do you think that bow was was slated or you know snubbed and which one of these three draft scenarios as far as trading back at the lottery would you guys want to entertain so
