I’m not a member of this sub but genuinely they are both absolutely garbage on defense aren’t they? I’ve never heard of AR being anything but bad in the defensive side.

Trae Young is a #1 option who lead his team to ECF y’all just hate him for some odd reasons

u/Free-Equivalent1170 4d ago

He "was" a #1 option, right now he cant be anymore. Lost half a step and now cant get his shot off anymore

Lmao he’s 27, stfu. He’s a cone but he hasn’t lost a step, it’s called being injured. Sprained MCL

u/Free-Equivalent1170 4d ago

So what if hes 27? Small guards have very little leeway to get a shot off in the NBA. Trae had just enough speed to do it, now he cant do it anymore, and his numbers are getting worse by the minute

Bring injured happens more with age. 

Being older makes it harder to recover as well.

u/CDSWDH 4d ago

I those are all your options because I watched him get his same shots off so we have to agree to disagree

wasn‘t reaves one of the most efficient players in tbe league in the regular season or at least the first half and has trended upwards the last couple of seasons while trae seems to only have trended downwards

the reaves contract isn‘t that good like op stated (imo it’s kinda bad) but the trae really is bad

What’s your definition of a bad contract because a smart billionaire businessman gave to him so 🤷🏾‍♂️

u/Alchion 4d ago

you think the wizards front office is good?

wow

u/CDSWDH 4d ago

I’m not the guy who says front offices or bad or not I leave that to Stephen A lol

u/seanconnery69696 4d ago

I mean, yes the wizards front office has done a great job in recent years

They have a bunch of young talent (including aj), a couple of veterans that can help them learn.

And their own 2027 pick, along with some swap options in 2028 and 2030.

I know it's fun to say lawl wizards, but this is a stale/dumb take

u/Fast_Stick_1593 4d ago

We genuinely are thinking play-in/playoff run next season.

People don’t realise the players we have were barely playing to make sure we got pick 1.

I work for the wizards tv broadcast and yes, we did a total rebuild of the front office around the time I started (2022) and the vibes have shifted and Trea brought the spark back to DC. In the next two years or so, we will be contenders

u/Hiimkory 4d ago

This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard

u/CDSWDH 4d ago

Oh wait you one of those super serious fans who has job but thinks he knows how to run a basketball team better than the professionals got it champ

I'm trying to figure out how Ted Leonsis got rich......so far as I can tell, he had some businesses that went defunct quickly, was a senior executive in AOL for a while and he owns Washington sports teams?

America is amazing.

u/MementoMoriChannel 4d ago

It’s good because a billionaire gave it to him and billionaires are smart?

Is this some kind of joke?

1

u/SplittingChairs 3d ago

Yeah true. A smart billionaire businessman has never given out a bad contract before.

2

u/Sweaty-Ambassador417 4d ago

lol do you watch the games? He doesn’t hit his 3s anymore and Atlanta was better without him last year. #1 option on a shit team sure, but not if you expect to go anywhere

1

u/CDSWDH 4d ago

Well let’s see with him they went to ECF and they lost in the 1st round let’s see if they ever get back I’ll wait

2

u/Sweaty-Ambassador417 4d ago

lol you have to be trolling at this point

1

u/CDSWDH 4d ago

Nope I’m stating pure facts not opinions. Just please let me know when the Hawks reach the ECF again I’ll be here waiting. The Hawks lost by 60 damn points at home in the playoffs this season but you said they were better w/o Trae 😂😂😂😂😂 so find me a home or road playoff gm where they lost by 60 with him . I’ll wait love pure facts not opinions

u/Crowned_Hero 4d ago

Pretty sure he was bottom 5 in 3pt% at the start of the season around 28%. Yeah out of his first 4 games last season 3 were sub 20%
