Nope. Otto's in the perfect situation for his skillset.

On the one hand, it's not insult to be compared unfavorably to someone of Paul George's caliber. What Wall is saying is tough to argue with -- if you get can get a guy like that, you get him. On the other hand, Wall did throw Otto under the bus a bit. And if he thinks Otto was the reason they didn't advance, he is delusional. Perhaps it had just a little something to do with Wall, Beal, Otto and the rest of the starters playing 40+ minutes a game, especially that game 7? Or maybe Wall shooting 8-23 and 1-8 in that game 7? Or 9-20 and 1-5 in game 1? Or Beal shooting 4-15 and 1-9 in game 2? With the volume of shots that Wall and Beal take, will there really be room for George?

That was not a shot at Otto. He's implying Otto isn't going to cut it to be the third 'guy' on the team. He might be right, but that's most certainly a shot at him.

From his comments over the years, Wall is very aware of how he stacks up in terms of salary, shoe deal, etc. He constantly complains that he is overlooked by the media, shoe companies, and other advertisers. Cannot wait for him to see Otto every day, knowing he is making several million more a year than he is.

Washington has been vocal about extending Wall this summer, it is up to him to be interested in signing (35% of salary cap). If he earns less than Otto next year, that's on him. He wants to see the direction of the franchise before committing long term.

I don't think anybody would dispute that Paul George is a much better player than Otto Porter, which is why I don't really view it as a dig at Otto Porter. If he was referenced a medium-level player, then yes, but not an elite level player like George.

That was not a shot at Otto. "Look at our team. We are one piece away," Wall said. "We have the point guard, we have the shooting guard, we have the center, we have the power forward." That is definitely a shot at Otto.

That is definitely a shot at Otto. Agreed. But should we really care about the opinion of someone with such an off-base assessment of his own team? I'm tempted to go off on this out of loyalty to Otto, but I know there's some Wiz fans here, so I'll refrain.

He has a decent shot to make their roster. Pistons need shooters BAD.

I don't think anybody would dispute that Paul George is a much better player than Otto Porter The funny thing though is that if you look at the advanced stats, Otto actually had a better statistical season than George this year. From my (very basic) understanding of advanced nba stats, Otto's higher efficiency at lower usage levels was worth more than George's higher production at higher usage. Does that mean I'd prefer Otto over George as my #1 option if I'm building a team? Unlikely, but it might mean Porter is better suited to being Option #3 on a team than George. Regardless, Otto is going to be getting PAID next year, the only question is who will be doing the paying.

From what I've read if the Wizards were to go after Paul George it would likely be for a 1 year rental (based on PG's desires). Do you really get rid of Porter, a young, talented and constantly improving multi-year option, for one year of Paul George?
