Let’s see if I notice a clear improvement now…

Finished reading: Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums by Travis Barker πŸ“šπŸ₯πŸ€˜

10-12 years later, still a great and insightful read into a musician I’ve admired so much over the past 20+ years! Totally made me want to revisit some of Travis’ side projects

If you come at me, you’d better know that my response will be thought of and that I’ll come prepared.

Been dealing with unprofessionalism for the third or fourth time in 6 months, and this shit doesn’t fly with me!

Professional or personal, I can be loyal to a fault, but rub me the wrong way and the road to recover my trust will be extremely long.

Re: Trae Young trade to my Washington Wizards for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert

A few thoughts on the trade:

Having no picks is particularly advantageous for us. We owe one to the Knicks, but we’re confident we’ll maintain our current status by continuing to perform poorly, especially considering the exceptional talent in this upcoming draft class.

We should aim to become competitive within the next two years. And having Trae as a primary guard will free space for Alex Sarr on pick & rolls, and the other shooters/forwards on the team too :)

Our salary cap is $80 million, so even with Trae Young’s $49 million contract, we still have substantial room to secure bad contracts or free agents this summer.

Additionally, we haven’t had a superstar on our roster since Russell Westbrook’s tenure from 2020 to 2021, and John Wall before that.

The Wizards don’t have any big extensions looming, so even if they gave Young a two- or three-year deal this summer, they’ll be in great shape financially. This might be the perfect rental with a chance at long-term success. And if it doesn’t work out, they can cut the bait and maintain business as usual in their development process.
