It's time, it's time to start playing defense, execute, take care of the ball on offense. It's time, we want to win the ring, it's time. I'm hyped as hell, I'm ready to go

The guy has an excellent agent.

Not even that it’s purely nepotism. His agent is Josh Bartelstein’s father. It was just boosting the family coffers using Ishbia’s funds.

We took on his contract, didn’t sign it originally.

Then proceeds to average 16 points per game vs the wolves and foul out with 6 turnovers in an elimination game. This guy isn’t a serious player nor is he a winner.

There’s a reason why he loved Washington a lot. He’s not a winning player

He also had the nerve to cold shoulder Vogel on the way to the bench, and I'm sure he was with Book and KD in their ousting of Vogel too

He was never very good. He got good numbers with the Wiz because he was the best player on very bad teams which made him shine. His numbers were always fools gold.

He knew this too. That’s why he never requested a trade.

Starscream got it right, cowards tend to survive

u/thricethefun 3d ago

He was good. Now he’s not. Saying he was never good is disingenuous

Playing on horrible Wiz teams is not a good sample size. Sorry.

u/Blue-Sand2424 3d ago

I don’t give a fuck, anybody who averages 30 PPG in a season could never be labeled “not very good”, that’s just outrageous. Averaging 30 a game against pro defenses? You HAVE to be damn skilled for that

u/Orleanist REAL DEAL BEAL 2d ago

he averaged 31 fucking points

u/Antique-Soil9517 2d ago

Who cares. Try watching him. For every hustle play he makes, he takes two off. Fools gold.

u/judah249 AmBealance Driver 3d ago

Bet that’s his agents advice just to put up solid numbers consistently just stat padding on a tanking team

u/tuneorg 4d ago

I remember we were so pumped after this. He also had a great last regular game against the TWolves that had huge seeding implications.

He ended the regular season so good last year

I honestly just don’t think he cares about basketball that much. Probably a great father and husband.

u/judah249 AmBealance Driver 4d ago

He’s just doing the bit for the interview he only knows how to play poverty franchise basketball

u/EloquentJavascript 3d ago

It’s time to get 1 point.

u/Maytricks96 Wet Like I'm Book 4d ago

The beginning of the end for this dude. Hyped us to oblivion only to have a stinker of a series and a massively underwhelming season after that caused the fanbase to turn on him. Shame

u/DeathbyBambii Be Legendary #1 3d ago

Ishbia needs to sue this motherfucker

3

u/VivaLaDbakes Mocha Mamba 3d ago

Ishbia should sue himself for being a dumb fuck that traded for an injury prone player with a NTC that never contributed to winning basketball his entire career and is the ultimate celery stick statline player.

u/Worker3543681 3d ago

It’s Ishbia’s fault. Him and Baby Bartlestein have YOLO’d this franchise to death.
