Any other NBA heads out there? Sad-ass Wizards fan here.
Anyway, real wild trade season so far!
Buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-basketball
Jazz fan. Not watching much this season though.
here. Luka trade was crazy. can't believe the Mavs didn't talk to other teams. criminal.
I'm nominally a Hawks fan and keep up a little bit but don't actually watch games.
toddS hopefully they make some moves in the next couple of days to set the team up for the future…and even if they don’t, they’re definitely still in the mix for Cooper Flag. But, yeah, hopefully this is their lowest point.
Al Dorado weirdest trade in history!
Kevin E one of the most frustrating teams in the league. They somehow beat the Cavs twice in a row but also lost to the Wiz twice in a row 
Butler to the Dubs. I'll be happy to eat my words but I'm not sure Butler is the answer.

I can't say the Hawks are frustrating; they're just perfectly league average with unfortunately not much of an avenue to take it to the next level. They're a bit high on their own supply thinking that the good moves they have made are somehow better than the good moves all the other teams have made during that same time.
Al Dorado I don’t about the quality of the basketball—maybe it’ll be good—but I cannot wait for the inevitable Draymond Green / Jimmy Butler ego clash!
Kevin E at least Dyson Daniels seems fun!
sixbigboys Just getting anything for Dejounte Murray was a godsend but getting an ascending player like Daniels was impressive. Still going to suck to see what kinds of picks the Spurs end up with from that original trade.
How we feeling about all the moves in the past couple of days? Any that you’re pumped on or bummed didn’t happen?
Personally, I’m into Wiggins going to Miami. I kind of think he would have been an upgrade over Butler even if Butler hadn’t been actively playing his way off the team. Wiggins seems like the kind of dude who could thrive that environment, and I really hope it works out for him.
Bummed that Kevin Durant wasn’t moved. I’m not sure where he could’ve gone where I would have been psyched, but I find this Suns team to be pretty boring. Just kind of wanted to see him somewhere else.
Stoked to see what Kuzma can pull out of his bonehead bag playing on a team with post-season aspirations!

Happy playoffs day to all who celebrate!
Lotta good first round matchups this year! Really stoked for Knicks/Pistons, Clips/Nuggs, Lakers/Wolves, and Warriors/Rockets. Gun to my head, I’d go Knicks, Clips, Wolves, Warriors. But I’m just stoked for some good ball.
Going to game one of Pacers/Bucks in a couple hours. Should be an ok series, especially when Dame is back.
Nugs v Clippers game is nuts. Westbrook is CHAOS , love him, would never want him on my team
ever/never Wild game! And, yeah, this is the correct opinion about Russ. Love that dude! But hated him that one season he was with the Wizards.
OP coming right out as a Wizard fan is something no one should have to say. What is your favorite Wizards era? John Wall era was actually great. They had a chance and were felled by IT2 in Boston.
My group chat was referring to Jimmy Butler as "Jimmy Butthole" before the trade. Now it's a term of endearment. Without Butler the Dubs wouldn't have made the play in.
The Touch The Feel Yeah, those first few years of Wall and Beal outplaying their expectations were so awesome. I actually had season tickets the year they pushed Boston to 7 games in the second round. That’s the best the team’s ever been. It really bums me out that Wall isn’t in the league anymore.
All that being said, the team stinks now obviously, but this is the most fun any Wizards team has been in a long ass time. And it’s the first time I can remember feeling like the team has a direction.
Al Dorado I’ve never loved Butler, but for whatever reason I’m rooting for him with the Dubs.
