If Washington has their second rounder this year, I’d be THRILLED to get that for Mudiay or Burke. But no way should Wash even do that.

Edit…just looked. They don’t have it.

A max for KP that doesn’t include big injury protections for the Knicks would be really fucking stupid.

a max QO can’t have injury protections under the cba so this is a non sequitir.

I can see them taking it. I just don’t see Perry offering.

if we threw in Chris duhon and the pick was protected 1-29 and then automatically convert to a cat (mixed breed), I think the wiz would at least think about it

The Wizards are not a smart franchise, and have been win-now for a few years- look at their cap structure. With Otto, Beal, and Wall taking up that much space, I don’t see them selling low, and I don’t see them tanking. They likely think they need a young stopgap PG. I think they need less of a project than Fultz. I wish they would take Tim but they have no need of a wing right now. I would even add Frank if it gives another pick.

WWMD. (What would Masai do)

The Wizards are not smart, true, but I don’t think even Isiah would trade a first rounder when they’re 13-23 and just lost their star player for the season.

The Wizard’s pick this year could easily end up being pretty valuable.

Any max for KP is real sketchy at this point. We’d be better with a sign and trade for picks. But that’s not going to happen. A max for KP that doesn’t include big injury protections for the Knicks would be really fucking stupid.

Well, maybe the Sixers? Chandler + Fultz and a first round pick would work.

@50

I can see them biting on Burke and Mudiay for at least a first, plus any filler. This year’s pick will be good.

Be still, my heart!

Nah, no way that’s happening.

The Wiz need to blow it up, but who’s going to give them anything for Wall? Is there a sane offer for Beal that nets them a pick?

You also have to look at possible trades from the Mills/Perry point of view. As of now they’ve given zero hints they’re open to trade “their” guys, and Mudiay is one of them for sure. I’d say Washington would be a willing trade partner for Mudiay, but I don’t think they’d give us anything more than Sam Dekker, another scrub and a second (which I’d take immediately). There’s no way that Perry is taking that offer.

It also has to be said that, if we tried, honestly we could get more for Mudiay. Point is we won’t try.

How could they possibly trade a first rounder now? They just lost nine straight!
