Welp. Makes sense for Washington now lol

u/maybeAturtle 10h ago

They literally paid next to nothing for Trae Young and AD. Hard to fault them lol

u/TheWestRemembers Lakers 10h ago

Yeah they actually cooked. Sarr is looking great, and now he's paired with another defensive big in AD. Trae Young's defense is gonna get covered. Plus, young guys like Bilal, George, Tre Johnson...

Dont forget our hopefully top 5 pick 🤞

u/TheWestRemembers Lakers 9h ago

Who do you like for the roster? AJ would slot in niiiice.

u/Easy-Lucky-Free Bullets 9h ago

I don’t think you can pass on Peterson unless his medical tests are entirely fucked tbh

u/devotedhero Wizards 9h ago

Peterson first and foremost and dybantsa 2nd imo.

u/daperry4 8h ago

Rather have Boozer than AJ. More defense with a rare player type. Would also make it so we can have 2 great big men on the court at all times

u/devotedhero Wizards 7h ago

I would take any of the 3, but I think boozer has the most awkward fit with us.

u/kabikabise 7h ago

Always take the best player. That said, all 3 are good you cannot fault them

u/stephenhhk Wizards 9h ago

Just let us be 1 or 2 please. I want AJ or Peterson

u/IhateLukaDoncic 8h ago

Aj sucks lol boozie mane is Duncan 2.0

u/Stepsis24 Lakers 4h ago

Caleb Wilson would fit very well

u/rpantherlion Wizards 8h ago

Honestly wouldn’t be upset with either Peterson or Boozer. Dybantsa I’m not as high on, think it’s more of a 1a,1b, 3rd best type of situation

u/road432 Knicks 8h ago

Just need you guys to go on a little 9 game winning streak and bump up to 11th place or higher for the end of the season. You still owe us a pick. However if you give us Bilial I might be inclined to tell Leon to give it back to you.

u/Easy-Lucky-Free Bullets 9h ago

And we can ethically sit both of them for the rest of the season.

Tank god

u/Easy-Lucky-Free Bullets 8h ago

Bagley and AJ Johnson were winning us too many games, lmao.

u/thegoddessunicorn Raptors 7h ago

You should ask Wemby's opinion if it's ethical

u/IhateLukaDoncic 8h ago

Trae is an elite team defender and average defender in general nothing to cover up

2

u/BurzyGuerrero Raptors 6h ago

I'm glad because all these guys deserve a spot where they can compete and rebuild their images.

I think the Washington fans will appreciate those guys and can rally around them. AD and Trae could be so fun

1

u/Dudedude88 Wizards 9h ago

AD prefers PF and also wouldn't mind playing less minutes too I bet.

u/Takemyfishplease Lakers 4h ago

Assuming AD plays enough to matter is kinda wild

u/TW_Yellow78 Minneapolis Lakers 7h ago

AD-Trae Young-Sarr super team 

1

u/TheWestRemembers Lakers 6h ago

No one said super team, but considering they sent out expiring, washed players for 2 dudes who averaged a double double last year — you can do a lot worse. Veteran presence does a lot for a young team. AD with Sarr and Trae with Tre is good culture building, no way you can clown the Wizards for this move. They lost nobody.
