Man, they must love the guy because if this is the case, they are letting Mem draw this out and potentially miss on other options.

I really like the guy.....but, not THAT much to let this drag out and potentially miss altogether.

They must love him like we loved Hayward, then.
 
Wow, I'm still shocked and surprised we haven't gone harder after Porter.

Maybe we're not really high on him? The only thing I can think of is his 'too cool' attitude.. doesn't seem like he goes as hard as he could have most of the time.

is that why our percentages from 3pt range are so fantastic and our defense keeps getting torched by good guard combos?

3 AND D players aren't abundant. The GLeague is full of scorers who can't defend.Utah loves supposed defenders who can't shoot.

I wasn't too in love with Porter. I was intrigued by Parker, but he's pretty expensive. Would have liked him for expirings.

yeah. that's why I added the term "prospects" after it lol. elite 3&D talents, or elite talents of any kind, will take time to develop. just look up Porter's stats during his first two seasons.

what I am saying is purely from a skillset standpoint. 3 and D aren't exactly "unique" skillset cuz those are the most translatable skills when it comes to playing in the league. hence you can always pick up a bunch of 3&D projects and let them polish their games.

And as for Gleague scoers who can't defend, I doubt their offense translates to the NBA level. Jabari's does that's why people are still talking about him right now. So are the reasons that Jamal Crawford/Lou Williams still have a job in the league despite not guarding a chair. it's way harder to find NBA level scorers who can carry team's offense than 3&D guys. simply because you have to be elite in the scoring department to even receive playing time, whereas you only have to do an OK job as a 3&D player.
 
So does Portis make a lot or does his deal come off the books? Kevin Durant is from D.C.? Would wizards have enough room to sign Durant?
 
Would have been stupid to burn our assets for Porter if Conely is still a possibility. Also, that trade was so stupid on Washington's part, there's no way to know how they value other assets. There should have been a dozen teams that could have made better offers, but maybe Grunfeld was just in love with Portis or Parker.

People need to chill the **** out.
 
If all it took to get Porter was expirings we should have done it in a heart beat. I'm hopeful that the Wiz for some reason see Parker as a real asset. Otherwise we are idiots for not beating that offer.
