Commanders first 5 weeks:

What's our record after these games?
English
@joshuaperry22 @TuskedUp He may be lower in the rotation at this time, but he may be the best prospect we have prior to this draft. He was a gem of a find and is crazy talented.
English
@TuskedUp What do they think Riley is? He’s at best their 9th man if they’re a play in team.
English
I’ve seen this get mentioned so much as a Wizards taking advantage of Ainge and I really disagree. They drafted well but the trade is not some huge win..
Lord Koffee BlacK@KonartistNupe
Ainge is 0-1 against Dawkins already chief …..
English
@SleeperJazz Suddenly? Just because you haven’t been paying attention to the tear down and rebuild in Washington, don’t act like it’s the rest of us who haven’t. This front office has been modeling after Presti and OKC the entire time. Duh…
English
Franchise gets lucky with the 1st pick and suddenly their front office is the reincarnation of Sam Presti and OKC. 😭

@vettepassby35 Doesn’t matter at all. Leverage is what matters. Not words.
English
The wizards don’t get it! You don’t tell ppl that. You let them call you. You gotta convince them you can’t do without Aj and drive the price up!

The Washington Wizards are reportedly “open to listening to offers” for the No. 1 overall pick, per @MarcJSpears (h/t @TheNBABase)
English
@whatsontapnba Absolutely not🤦♂️
AJ Dybansta is the next T-Mac
Darius Acuff is already better than Harper
Caleb Wilson will be a top-5 PF
English
I’d rather have Dylan Harper than the first pick this year
Trill Withers@TylerIAm
Where does Dylan Harper go in this draft
English
@patrickgormli @erc95 Pretty lame of him that he can’t comprehend basic replies. Not a surprise. His basketball understanding is limited to Utah
English
I mean can you blame the guy? This is a state that he now knows and has almost completely won over PLUS we’re talking about alternatively playing for the Wizards 😂
NBACentral@TheDunkCentral
AJ Dybantsa’s preference is reportedly to remain in Utah and get drafted by the Jazz, per @AdamFinkelstein (h/t @Fullcourtpass )
English
English
@MattModderno I remember defending Stephon Castle’s low 3 ball percentage during his entire draft cycle. I have zero concern about AJ.
English
If you just removed that initial dip where he points the ball down toward his feet before restarting his motion, you'd raise his % a few points immediately
Chase Hughes@chasedcsports
More of A.J. Dybantsa shooting threes at the NBA Draft combine.
English
@BoozeCougs Why do the Jazz get paid the most to move UP in the draft? 🤣
Put down the crack pipe…
English
🚨3 way trade 🚨
Jazz get:
#1 pick - AJ Dybantsa
Egor Demin
2027 Nets 1st unprotected
2029 Nets pick swap
Nets get:
#2 pick - Darryn Peterson
Wizards get:
#6 pick - Darius Acuff
Ace Bailey
2028 Nets pick swap
Who says no?
Fullcourtpass@Fullcourtpass
The Nets and Jazz are expected to hold trade talks with the Wizards for the number one pick, per @BrettSiegelNBA
English
@BrysonAkinsNBA That proposed trade has the Jazz getting paid to move up in the draft 😂
English
Why would Washington trade the first pick for Ace Bailey and a 2028 first? You need to include at minimum three future firsts if you want to even discuss a trade.

@trejohnsonszn Another fool who doesn’t keep up with the wiz yet talks like he knows what’s going on. Sad. Tony used to know his stuff.
English
Another horrible Tony Kornheiser (wiz fan) Wizards rant:
“They cheated the people who buy tickets… they get the reward [no 1 pick] which stinks… last no 1 pick was John Wall who scored a lot but didn’t make his teammates better”
(Via PTI)
Tre Johnson SZN@trejohnsonszn
Tony Kornheiser Wizards rant on PTI I mentioned yesterday ⬇️

@Free_Thinking1 Pacers had no business being as bad as they were this season. Ultimate tank year for a team that was just in the finals.
English
@samfolkk Since you think BI is so valuable, sounds like you should just keep him. Cause if you call the Wizards, they’re just gonna laugh at you and hang up 😂
English
Brandon Ingram went for the 5th pick when he was having an unhealthy season
He just made an all star game this year, call up the Wizards and see if they’ll give up the #1 pick
English
@dpshow So now Dan Patrick is showing he’s just a casual fan. Sad…
The Wiz have been tearing down for 3 years and actually have a competitive lineup next year. Yet you feel bad for Dybantsa? They have a brighter future than many current playoff teams.
English
"This, everybody knew was a great draft. This is where you just say, 'Hey, we're not tanking, we're just not going to be a competitive team this year...' You take the hit, you get a top 5 pick, and you turn things around next year."
– DP on the #Pacers and the NBA Draft
English
@SleeperWizards @Wale You’d absolutely have to take that call.
People forget that DP was basically the consensus number 1 at the start of the year. I have yet to see it myself from him, but if the talent is there you have to do your due diligence on him and listen
English
@Wale hahah my guy‼️ u know Dawk always thinking ahead (even tho it would actually be the Jazz own as MEM has the PHX one)
I’m HERE for AJ don’t get me wrong but you can’t tell me we ain’t at least picking up the phone to hear an offer around like Ace Bailey + maybe more + this guy ⬇️
ESPN@espn
Darryn Peterson was HOOPIN’ in the first half vs. No. 13 BYU 😦 🔥 18 PTS 🔥 6-7 FG 🔥 3 STL
English
@Domo8186 He looked like a star. I still don’t get how he didn’t last in the league. 🤷♂️
English
@trejohnsonszn He sounds sooo stupid. He knows nothing about this team, the organization, or the rebuild.
Would love to have this clip on repeat later next season.
English
Stephen A on AJ possibly joining the Wizards:
“I felt bad for him…. The Wizards are an abomination of a basketball team… they are horrible… don’t believe in the organization”
English
@NicThomasNBA Mara is great until his feet fail him in 2 years. Big men his size and weight rarely have longevity. Pass…
English
If I’m the Clippers, I’m taking Mara at #5 or trading down to take him.
It’s an incredibly obvious pick.
English
@SleeperWizards @MavMackson Need to sign Robert Williams as backup Center
English
@MavMackson Need a strong backup big in case of that
Worst -> top 6 would be incredible though
English
Smooth 5th seed right here if AD stays and is healthy. Smooth 8th seed without him.
SleeperWizards@SleeperWizards
first look at the Wizards potential lineup if they go with AJ Dybantsa at #1 overall 👀
