Greg to the Celtics at least a possibility, and would be great for him. He's better than Aron Baynes.

Questions being raised about why the Suns did a buyout before the trade deadline, rather than trying to leverage him for at least something. There's one rumor that Greg may have "forgiven" some of the Suns' financial obligation in exchange for having more control over his destination. This is David Falk at the helm.

Wiz win over Raptors. 122-119, Otto with 16 pts, 11 rbs, 6 assists, including 3 big rebounds down the stretch and steal at the end. Every Wiz starter with double figures and 3 bench players also with double figures.

Every Wiz starter with double figures and 3 bench players also with double figures. The success of Otto and the Wizards imo, is directly related to the absence of John Wall. The ball really moves from player to player and Otto thrives in this environment as he moves the ball and his body as opposed to John pounding the rock and everyone standing around. Also Satoransky is a much better defender than Wall.

What are your thoughts about the possibility of Greg Monroe coming to the Wiz? Hoopshype suggests interest by the Wiz and N.O. Going home would be nice for him, but also returning to DC and the Georgetown environment. There's nothing not to like about living in DC especially if you have cash. He would add a lot to the inside game of the Wiz...he's smart, and knows how to operate down in the paint. Thoughts?

The ball really moves from player to player and Otto thrives in this environment as he moves the ball and his body as opposed to John pounding the rock and everyone standing around. Also Satoransky is a much better defender than Wall. I had the same thoughts. When Wall is in, especially as the shot clock winds down, the ball gets somewhat stuck in his hands. Washington improved to 29-22, winning its third straight game without Wall and its second against a playoff contender (the Wizards beat Oklahoma City on Tuesday). Once again, their new ball democracy, in which everyone has a stake in the action, ruled the night. Wall underwent surgery to clean up his left knee and is not expected back until at least mid-March. But in the three games he has already missed with this latest injury, the Wizards have undergone an awakening. The ball has moved (30 assists), the tempo has quickened (12 fast-break points in the second half) and most critically, the balance of power has spread through the roster. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/wizards/wizards-rally-past-raptors-for-third-straight-win-without-john-wall/2018/02/01/e9c08470-0783-11e8-b48c-b07fea957bd5_story.html?hpid=hp_local-news_wiz-1033pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.26e3fc33bae1Wall ranks second in the league with 9.3 assists per game, but in the three games without him, all wins, the Wizards have totaled 97 assists. Also, their 32.3 assist-per-game average tops the NBA over this three-game stretch. www.washingtonpost.com/news/wizards-insider/wp/2018/02/02/everybody-eats-as-the-wizards-learn-to-share-the-ball-without-john-wall/?hpid=hp_regional-hp-cards_rhp-card-sports%3Ahomepage%2Fcard&utm_term=.4415adbb2ccf

Although the NBA salary cap is one of the great mysteries of the modern age, it looks like the Wiz are already slightly over (correct me, somebody, if I'm wrong). NO cleared a roster spot in the Mirotic trade, and needs a center to replace Cousins. Greg may well get starter minutes there. The Celtics could use a better big to back up Horford, have a system that would allow Greg to get touches, and have money thanks to the Hayward injury. Those teams seem more likely landing spots. <iframe width="25.6200000000001" height="3.68000000000001" id="MoatPxIOPT0_98859741" style="border-style: none; left: 1215px; top: -214px; width: 25.62px; height: 3.68px; position: absolute; z-index: -9999;"></iframe> <iframe width="25.6200000000001" height="3.68000000000001" id="MoatPxIOPT0_10168499" style="border-style: none; left: 10px; top: -84px; width: 25.62px; height: 3.68px; position: absolute; z-index: -9999;"></iframe> <iframe width="25.6200000000001" height="3.68000000000001" id="MoatPxIOPT0_70825573" style="border-style: none; left: 1215px; top: -84px; width: 25.62px; height: 3.68px; position: absolute; z-index: -9999;"></iframe>

Anyone out there really understand this?? The Wizards are currently over the league salary cap. This means Cap Holds & Exceptions are NOT included in their Total Cap Allocations, and renouncing these figures will not afford them any cap space. The team may only sign outside players using any available exceptions or at league minimum salaries. www.spotrac.com/nba/washington-wizards/cap/

It'll be interesting to see if the C's keep Greg mostly down on the block, or sometimes move him away from the basket like Horford. The latter would harken back to his high post work under III, but I think he's seen more now as a low post guy. They definitely need second unit scoring.

While I'm not going to become a celtics fan, I think it will be lots of fun watching the three Georgetown stars still in the League all play on playoff teams the next several months. I wonder if Falk can work some more magic and find a playoff team willing to give Roy a few dollars and one last chance to block Lebron's drives to the hoop.
