No big move? I think they will do something either way with this space, or that would be disappointing. May even signal penny pinching (do we know how the owners will spend yet?)

With John Wall snapping his Achilles and being out all of next season the Wizards have to reconsider their plans. I think they want Bogi for Otto. We are not giving them Bogi. We want to give them Willie. What more I think we should be do to facilitate this is agree to take Mahini into our cap space this year and due 16M next year. They can have Willie, they can have Mason, Jackson and/or Skal to say they acquired some prospects. That is the best we can do and that is a good deal for them. If Vlade capitulates and sends them Bogdanovic I will be disgusted. Vlade will have panicked like he did the last time he made a major trade. I don't think he will panic especially with us playing so great the last two games.

You are making a whole lot of assumptions on what Washington will do. There is absolutely nothing, even a rumor that suggests that Washington has changed their stance that they help prior to Wall's latest injury.
There is a whole lot of "I think", "they should", "we should" or whatever but its all based off a personal opinion or a hunch. What we know so far based on the rumors is that WCS is available and we have interest in Porter Jr (whom Washington by all reports doesn't want to trade) and Barnes (I read it on twitter somewhere...will try and find a link) and both inquiries have not gone too far.

Adding Otto Porter at the expense of our team chemistry would be a huge f'ing mistake.

you should get Twitter. The top rumor guys are saying that the wizards are more willing to listen now with the Wall injury. That it could be a late decision tomorrow. Says at the moment the wizards still want a lot. Nobody HERE is making this up. It’s not a hunch

Kings are then trading one position of need for another, swapping our starting center for a SF. I don't know if I would do that deal right now. I'd like to see what's available come free agency and then see if Vlade can muster up a trade there where he doesn't leave the team needing to fill another void.

A severe and disgusting overpay that would screw the Kings?

Wow. That's crazy. Like crazy insane.
Porter just isn't that damn good. And even if he is, his contract is rich enough that a 1st shouldn't be included with that player package. The Wiz should be grateful to get that $$ of their books, which means no demanding a 1st.

Considering what Porter was just traded for, you can now see how ridiculous offering a 1st along with the proposed player package would have been. WAY too much.
The KINGS could have bested what Chicago offered, so I think that shows they agree.

Wow. I don't think we get anything done by the trade deadline that moves the needle.

Hilarious how washington acted like they wouldn’t move Porter all season and he ends up getting traded for Jabari Parker and Bobby Portis.

I don't look at it like that. We have a 5 man core. Otto would give us a 6 man core that can pretty much rival anybody in 1-2 years. There is an abundance of centers on the market this summer, including Vucevic and DeAndre Jordan and others. We have gone back and forth for a long time on Willie. We have wanted him to be a keeper. My sense is if a player is not an obvious part of the solution he is more likely not. When a player is a keeper you just know. You have to talk yourself into Willie and excuse 3 out of every 5 games. That is not a guy you want to commit to if you have the highest of aspirations. A core of Buddy, Fox, Bogs, Otto, Bagley and Giles would be great. Willie would not be missed. Otto also fills a very pressing need of length on the wing who can be a legitimate 3rd or 4th scoring leader and one of our best defenders. Willie for Otto is a no brainer.

Kings will test the free agency market anyway, I'd imagine Vucevic would be on their radar. They can also work out trades in the offseason, not only now.

Yea man this has been discussed on the main page and the SF thread.

This goes to show that Bobby Portis has more trade value than Willie. I don't believe we were unwilling to trade Willie. I don't think the Wizards wanted him. If I was the Wizards I would rather have Portis too. Disappointing.
