Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[Dundalis]

I will be really disappointed if they play the vets heavy minutes and leave all the kids on the bench.  If there was ever a development year, this is it.  
I'm not a fan of this narrative that Naji will be the backup point guard.  He provides a lot of value as a secondary creator, but I don't think playing him out of position is the answer.  
The thing with a roster full of positional flexibility is that everyone affects everyone's minutes.  My guess is that we will see all kinds of crazy combinations, but you are still constrained by having only 5 guys on the court.

I'd love to see the young guys get minutes, but I don't think they get minutes simply due to being young. As in, if their play earns it they should get more minutes. If it doesn't, regardless of it being a developmental year, they don't get minutes over vets who are playing better, simply due to being young.

I'm kind of the opposite, we sold AD at an all time low which is pretty reminiscent of KP.

I actually agree that we sold AD at an all time low. The difference is I think that all time low will prove to be closer to his ceiling value moving forward. We'll see if thats the case if the Wizards end up moving him.
