It's obvious that Rivers wasn't gelling in Washington so they get rid of him okay but they gave up Oubre as well for a rental in Ariza. Thank god we have Ainge running our show and not the clown in Washington that makes a deal like this and is locked into an upcoming super max for Wall.
I don't think they were going to re-sign Oubre anyway
I dont get this ..... how do you trade Oubre for Ariza.... Oubre is just a younger version of Ariza.
Not even close. Ariza might be ten years older than Oubre, but even at that age he is a much better all around player, especially defensively.
Does ANYONE think that Ariza will re-sign next year with Washington? I think there is ZERO possibility so Washington is ALL-IN this year with Ariza. They really think they have a chance at accomplishing anything? I don't see it. Just another bad move for Washington management which I love.
I don't get it either. Oubre is a decent young prospect showing promise.
Oubre probably is who he is going to be at this point. He will get a little better, but his absolute best case at this point is Ariza. The wizards also weren't going to re-sign him this summer, so I totally get why Washington would make that move.
