@JonathanCabot_ @AJ_Lich King will have zero impact on decision with Abrams I guarentee it. I’ll bet you he’s not even their ss of the future but again you can’t ever have too much talent. Good teams stack up the middle.
English
Reasons to keep:
- still very young
- one of the better blends of pop and speed
- makes solid amount of contact
Reasons to trade:
- defensive concerns
- variability with approach
- shear depth of middle infielders in the org rn
I could buy in either way Toboni goes.

Honestly, I have more inner turmoil over whether to trade him or extend him than I've had with any past Nationals player
English
@dclandofnerds @AJ_Lich I’ve never tweeted about not drafting a shortstop wtf are you talking about
English
@JonathanCabot_ @AJ_Lich Sure you’re an account screaming not to draft a ss if that’s best player on board. When you sure as fuck take the ss in the draft. Again it comes down to do they want to pay him or not. Stop acting like they have some surplus of players.
English
@dclandofnerds @AJ_Lich 2b makes less than shortstop. CJ won’t accept a 2b salary. Please don’t lecture me on money and value if you’re not making that connection
Farm system talent impacts roster building. Pretty simple
English
@JonathanCabot_ @AJ_Lich So again it comes down to money and value proposition not whether or not they have a ss in the minors.
English
@BrysonAkinsNBA I was using them as an example of a team that would trade for him. But for the record, they were linked to him by many many outlets at the deadline
Again, they were asking for 1sts, not the 5th pick. That changes the starting point for a negotiation, not that it’ll happen anyway
English
@JonathanCabot_ This isn't about the Pistons, this is about their general asking price.
There was also no report Detriot was interested, it was OKC to be rumored.
English
For this hypothetical trade the fifth pick for Trey Murphy deal that's floating around, it's going to cost a ton just because of matching salary. This would have to be a baseline, and to me it just doesn't make since to give up that much.
English
@BrysonAkinsNBA You realize there’s a difference between the 1sts the pistons could’ve given them and the 5th pick in this draft, right?
I didn’t say their price had changed. I’m saying you’re purposefully ignoring the nuance
English
@JonathanCabot_ Reports from the trade deadline. Highly doubt that has changed.
English
@dclandofnerds @AJ_Lich How they view their closest highly ranked short stop to the majors plays a factor in keeping their current starting shortstop
Like that’s not really debatable
English
@JonathanCabot_ @AJ_Lich No! Really doesn’t matter, if they want to keep him they will. Prospects are unproven and could move him to the black hole that is 2b. They would dfa Garcia quick style. Also im higher on others than King anyway.
English
@dclandofnerds @AJ_Lich Also depends how they see Seaver King long term
English
Trading the 5th pick AND one of George/Riley/Coulibaly for Trey Murphy is so absurd
I know DA is a legend, but his takes in the past year have been almost all god awful

@Cash_Nicholson @paleonormie McDonald's dropped their prices and they own Chipotle we just need to wait a little longer ✨️
English
A bowl was $7 and the ingredients were all identifiably real food, it was a revelation in the fast food landscape
Cairo Smith@cairoasmith
It's hard to describe, but, for a certain set of Americans, Chipotle was the first inexpensive Mexican-esque food they ever ate that did not give them the sensation of consuming heavy cooking oils outside their comfort zone. That is 90% of why it took off.
English
@Fan88Dc @georgerlewis This past game also overlapped with porch fest. If the teams going to struggle, they need to offer something to entice fans. That’s what the Rockies do
English
@Fan88Dc @georgerlewis 2 of the 3 defenders home games this season have been the same day as a nats home game, so they’re kind of taking fans from each other those days
The op is also absolutely right. The bullpen is packed every Friday and Saturday home game. Its drink deals beat the stadiums
English
The Rockies don’t win or spend yet they average 29K fans a game. The honest reason why is they have cheap beer and cheaper tickets.
I’m not a business guy, but am I crazy to think they’d actually make more money if they just did that?
Spencer Nusbaum@spencernusbaum_
Note in here: Nats Park has seen the biggest attendance drop of any park in MLB. Average attendance through the first 16 home games of 2025 and 2026... 2025: 26,206 2026: 22,094

@_retromichael_ @Domo8186 Our current owner has made the playoffs in his first season. Allen was a great owner too. Lerner is a proven commodity. He is akin to the guy who owns the NY Jets. Unquestionable worst ownership in the league.

Blazers fans think Dawkins sweet for it lol

AD for cheap or sell the farm for Giannis?
English
@BrysonAkinsNBA @coolkidgerbil @Domo8186 Teams entering a rebuild would want picks or young players to take on bad contracts
English
@coolkidgerbil @Domo8186 Teams entering a rebuild would, or teams trying to keep a disgruntled star happy (Memphis and Milwaukee). Also don't have to immediately trade them. Could wait till the deadline or next off-season. They have time.
English
I have tried an AD trade with every team that could try to contend next year, and there are basically no realistic trades out there.
English
In 2025, the suns really traded their 2026 1st to dump Nurkic, traded their 2031 1st for 3 late 1sts & traded 2 of them for Mark Williams, & used the 10th pick in the draft on Maluach
4 1sts to address the center position in one year & they still have to pay Mark this offseason
English
@shoooobb I think that 3rd point is a big + for the team in general. Nothing against Huerter, Ausar, & Holland as players, but turning 3 straight top 5 picks into guys who you can’t rely on to create offense hurts
Makes the Kyshawn/Will type wings valuable
English
like the biggest thing to me with watching how the pistons play duren is i just don’t think theyll be able to do that with sarr because
1. he’s better at reading the defense on offense
2. i think he’s more likely to shoot before a trap
3. the wiz will have more handlers/shooting
English
the one thing with sarr with his inefficient games is that i believe in the defense when the team is trying to be competitive to keep him on the court (especially if AD is next to him) and as long as you keep a good playmaker on the court, you won’t need too much self creation
English
@JonathanCabot_ @KevinFolliNBA MIL offloading Kuz in June helps us match salary for KD while the Bucks get a large TPE.
By sending out KD $43M and Sengun $35M, HOU actually has equal money to take Giannis $58M and Kuz $20M.
Wiz end up taking in an extra $25M in salary by the end of the deal, but keep assets.
English
I’m not sure if Kevin Durant would be willing to play his last few years in his hometown but….AD + a 2027 lottery protected first works for KD + Capela in the 2026-2027 league year when KD’s salary reduces from $54.7M to $43.9M. KD would be a much better offensive fit with Sarr compared to AD imo.
Also with the 2027 draft not projected to be as good and with already a lot of young players on rookie deals, I’d be willing to get rid of a non-lottery first to get KD and move off Davis’ albatross of a contract.
English
@BrookesGore @KevinFolliNBA Houston would need to send more salary than Sengun out in the July trade by >$20m. Milwaukee wouldn’t need to offload Kuz in that deal, so they would just have to want him off the books & want those guys. Kuz for KD in September wouldn’t work without Washington sending more money
English
@JonathanCabot_ @KevinFolliNBA We can absorb a salary and then fully execute the full trade 2 months later. So say there was a Giannis deal. We could take Kuz in July, then in Phase 2 September:
WAS: Durant
HOU: Giannis, Kuz
MIL: Sengun, Hardy, Whitmore, DLo (opt-in), picks (from Wiz & Rockets)
