as a wizards fan, I hate this trade. Bodongo is a FA after this season.
I think part of the value for the Wiz

is getting out from AN's contract so they can get different depth in the offseason. Wiz's starting lineup is very good, and their bench is blech.

He's restricted, no?
Solid get for the Nets

was Nicholson hurt in washington? He looked decent in Orlando.
The Nets are still below the cap floor, so...  
LarmerTJR : 2/22/2017 4:07 pm : link
taking the contract for a first is not too bad, especially when they were mostly liking not resigning Bogo anyway...

He just wasn't getting very much playing time. The wizards bench has been awful so far, so Bodongo a big upgrade there, but he won't sniff the kind of playing time he was getting in BKN.

I know nothing of Mcullough.

Still an upgrade over that Tom whatever dude. You can also go small with Markieef at the 5, Porter at the 4 and Bog at the 3.
hes a good pick up for the wiz  
hitdog42 : 2/22/2017 4:15 pm : link
one has to look at his stats 2 ways... yes he is scoring on a bad team but he is having to create all of his offense. with wall.... not the case anymore.
a good bench shooter who has made big shots when called upon.
willing defender just not a good one.
Nice get

by the Nets. If they can trade Lopez, they'll have three first round picks this year in a pretty deep draft (even if it'll be painful to see BOS, or whoever they trade to, picking in the top 4).

Marcus thornton also going to the Nets in this trade
McCullough  
davek3698 : 2/22/2017 4:21 pm : link
Thought he was part of their long term plan at the 4. Nets must have not been happy with his progress in the development league this year.
Nets also picked up...  
Mike in St. Louis : 2/22/2017 4:36 pm : link
Marcus Thornton in the trade...
They should send the pick to the Celtics  
pjcas18 : 2/22/2017 4:44 pm : link
it's only a matter of time before Ainge pulls the jedi mind trick on them and gets it anyway.

McCullough wasn't a Marks draft pick I think has a lot to do with it. And the new system with Atkinson. Wasn't their guy
Seems like a pretty

Sensible deal for both sides

What do you think his game is missing in what the new regime is looking for out of their 4? All I remember reading was that he would have been a lottery pick if healthy and that he was a draft steal.
Was reading the Neta dropped asking price

For Lopez from 2 1sts to a 1st and 2nd. Hope they can get it done. Love Lopez but he's useless on this team, would like to see him on a contender.

Really good trade for the Nets. They need to keep making moves similar to this. Build a group of solid young guys from the back end of the draft.

The 2017 pick swap and 2018 pick sent to the Celtics were the real killers in that deal. Deal could have been done without that.

Best case for the Nets is a bubble playoff team offers them a top 10 protected first and they end up with like the #12-17 pick.
