Hi, welcome back. Fifth episode this week's been a while since we've been able to do that and we're gonna finish up with Ben Taylor

I promise this time this will be the last one as we declare an all decade champion

But we have some news that has piled up. Let's get to that here as we're recording this late on Thursday

Let's start at the bottom of the alphabet here the Washington Wizards

Completely destroyed by injuries right now. Remember Thomas Bryant is already out for them

Rihachimura is to miss at least the next five games with a groin issue

MoVogner missed his third straight in their 18.4th quarter collapse against the bulls on Wednesday

So they basically have two healthy guys who can even pretend to be big one is Bertons and the other one is our old friend

Anjash Pashnecks who was signed to a two-way he actually closed that OT game against the bulls in other news

CJ Miles with that foot issue the Wizards have been granted a

4.37 million disabled player exception remember that enables you to either trade for a player making up to that amount in the last year of his deal

Or you may sign a player for up to that amount was currently have about 4.5 million below the tax if they do

And I do some trading though they might want to retain some in that room

I don't necessarily see them making a trade here

We don't have any idea how long Wagner is gonna be out necessarily Bryant should hopefully be back within the next couple of weeks

Based on that initial timeline also of note a wizard jam Tommy Shepherd set on a podcast that they intend to keep Davas Bertons

He has been the subject of trade rumors mostly because he's played so well

And I think teams who are contending believe that they can help him really depends on whether the wizards are willing to pay up for him

If he continues to shoot it like this

There's been a lot of great work done on just the level of shooter that he's become able to make contested shots at 610

Spritting off of screens really really valuable offensive player

I think he deserves a ton of credit for how good the swissards offense has been
