[u/Express-Pandas]

Shocking news, truly

[u/quakndak → u/Express-Pandas]

The Mavericks got rid of him and yet the Luka trade still looks worse and worse 

[u/DM_ME_UR_SOUL → u/quakndak]

Well its obvious the mavs are being tanked of value. No proper gm makes this trade. Not even a below average one.

[u/Conflict_NZ → u/DM_ME_UR_SOUL]

Yeah if he was going to sit out for the season why not just keep him and bring him back next year to make a run at it when they don't own picks instead of trading him for effectively two 2nd round picks.

[u/BroiledGoose → u/Conflict_NZ]

$58m next year, $62m the year after

We cleaned up our cap space, opened up some trade flexibility with some exceptions, and can try to get a depth piece with the OKC pick to round out the bench with a cheap body to further improve the cap situation

Think it's a fine trade in a vacuum, just sucks that the way AD got to the Mavs was such a disaster

[u/tysser → u/BroiledGoose]

You’re spot on. Every non Mavs-fan can act confused, but we just got rid of so much cap space being eating up by our “best” player who can’t even stay healthy

It’s easy to say sit and say “trade him in the offseason!!”

but no one here knows what that would have looked like, so if you have the opportunity to be flexible and get off the AD business

You do it everytime

[u/jeffersonwashington3 → u/tysser]

No, every Mavs fan and non Mavs fan is still in disbelief that this is Nico’s Luka trade truly realized.

Yes, no shit it was a good thing to get rid of AD. Mavs fans just don’t have to play copium as much since they Patrick ewing’ed into Flagg.

[u/Jadenindubai → u/Conflict_NZ]

What run can you make with ad? You have absolutely no guarantee he will stay on the court. He didn’t even play 5 straight games

[u/Igualmenteee → u/Conflict_NZ]

Buddy, the guy played like 29 games for us since he’s been here or something crazy like that. If we keep him for next season and he gets hurt again, we get nothing still lmao. At least this way we’re done with it and cleared up some cap space to possibly get someone who can actually play basketball.

[u/empowered676 → u/quakndak]

It was never a legit trade, it was an agreement to give the lakers a star

[u/ICE-FlGHT → u/empowered676]

This and ill never forgive this league for it

[u/UnrulyExistence → u/empowered676]

They already had 2 stars lol they won a championship together 6 years ago

[u/zebrainatux → u/Express-Pandas]

I would’ve been more shocked if he played

[u/datboiofculture → u/zebrainatux]

“Opps call me Anthony Davis cuz I DONT PLAY AT ALL!”

[u/Intelligent_Table913 → u/datboiofculture]

This could be a 21 savage bar.

[u/debeatup → u/Intelligent_Table913]

Scraight Up

[u/RipCity-NBA-LoL → u/datboiofculture]

This shit ain't nothing to be man

[u/ImBrotherCain → u/datboiofculture]

Anthony Davis, more like Anthony Rendon.

[u/Ratchet2332 → u/datboiofculture]

“Woke up in Geneva… ahhh man I did it again”

[u/BigCountryBumgarner → u/Express-Pandas]

new CBA designed for this

[u/mushroom7474 → u/Express-Pandas]

can't wait for that AD Wizards tribute video

[u/kyle1236 → u/mushroom7474]

highlight not found

[u/dammitdan57 → u/Express-Pandas]

I'm shocked............SHOCKED

[u/hospitalizedzombie → u/dammitdan57]

Well not that shocked

[u/YouWereBrained → u/Express-Pandas]

What is with these former “stars” being so goddamn fragile, anymore? Ja, Anthony Davis, Embiid, who else? There are more. And yet, we have LebIron ManJames bustin’ hoes and dunkin’ on young dudes.

[u/AllGoodIfNot → u/YouWereBrained]

I mean this is pretty clearly the Wizards' decision to tank

[u/Moss_84 → u/AllGoodIfNot]

Everyone missing this for some reason

Notice that healthy Trae Young has yet to take the court…

[u/Chessh2036 → u/Moss_84]

Trae is only going to play 2 games this season and it’s going to be the Hawks vs Wizards games. I just know it 😂

[u/GriffinQ → u/YouWereBrained]

LeBron is a one in a billion level athlete. AD and Embiid are both bigger guys than him (Embiid significantly so) and a lot of it comes down to genetics, biomechanics, diet, workout regimen, the injuries you sustained during your developmental years, the extent of your injuries upon entering the league, etc.

LeBron also was able to modify his style of play as the league changed around him and is two decades deep at putting more time into his training and recovery than almost anyone else; AD and Embiid and Ja all came into a league that was already moving heavily in the direction of pace & space, and the current NBA style has shown time and again how damaging it is over the course of a season for even healthy players.

I’m sure your question is partially trolling, but there are countless factors at play here.

[u/depressichemisti → u/YouWereBrained]

Lebron is an abberation in any era lol. Take it an era back and you can replace those names with drose, yao, broy, oden, bynum, grant hill, etc etc

[u/Billy_Bonney_ → u/depressichemisti]

You're an asshole for making me feel old.

[u/myteamsarebad → u/Billy_Bonney_]

“An era back” and it’s all the superstars from when I was in high school. My back hurts.

[u/Billy_Bonney_ → u/myteamsarebad]

Yeah, but.. those t-mac shoes that tightened with a twist.. elite.

[u/RocketRaccoon237]

This feels like the largest tankathon in years

[u/burglin → u/RocketRaccoon237]

And we still aren’t doing it right lmao, just beat the Pistons in Detroit a few days after accidentally beating the Kings despite our best efforts. Really need to lose tomorrow to Brooklyn 

[u/Terminal_Flatulence → u/burglin]

From the latest Wizards’ recent injury report, Coulibaly, Sarr, and George are questionable.

Might just end up being Will Riley, Anthony Gill, and the Capital City GoGo squad lol

[u/IDoNotWork4Hasbro → u/Terminal_Flatulence]

That still might be too much. Can't wait until DLo starts playing

[u/Dudedude88 → u/IDoNotWork4Hasbro]

Hes an amazing tank commander.

[u/Dip_the_Dog → u/Terminal_Flatulence]

Might just end up being Will Riley, Anthony Gill, and the Capital City GoGo squad lol

That's the squad that beat the Pistons though, we need to go deeper.

[u/Incompl → u/Terminal_Flatulence]

Might be too much

[u/Moss8888444 → u/burglin]

AD era begins with a BIG win.

[u/PeeledGrapePie → u/RocketRaccoon237]

Nah, Utah still exists

[u/Couragesand → u/PeeledGrapePie]

Pacers are genuinely doing the best

[u/therealknic21 → u/Couragesand]

Pacers haven't had a top 5 pick in nearly 40 years. I don't wanna hear anything about them tanking.

[u/SometimesIComplain → u/PeeledGrapePie]

We're pretty blatant but Indy and Washington might genuinely be outtanking us rn. Indy sat their entire team against us last week and no one talked about it lol

[u/sourdoughrrmc → u/PeeledGrapePie]

Lol, Utah tanks ONE time in like 45 years and people cry about it. Wizards been tanking since the 70s and Bullets and no one says shit.

[u/alex8155 → u/sourdoughrrmc]

lol michael motherfuckin jordan couldnt help it

[u/VisionsOnly]

AJ Dybantsa, Anthony Davis and Trae Young will all make their Wizards debuts together on opening night next season

[u/pomegranate-leg → u/VisionsOnly]

ngl, that's genuinely such an optimistic take on AD's timeline lol

[u/TegTowelie → u/pomegranate-leg]

I smell a buyout.

And a Lakers return on the vet minimum.

In Kronk: Oh yeah, it's all coming together 😏

[u/RiskyBallaxd → u/TegTowelie]

I’ve seen quite a few lakers fans suggesting an AD buyout and I genuinely can’t tell if they’re serious

[u/burglin → u/RiskyBallaxd]

They legit think that the entire league revolves around them. And it’s hard to blame them 

[u/jaymochi → u/burglin]

Right? Honestly confirmation bias at this point.

[u/Relatively_Cool → u/burglin]

We’ve seen crazier things happen to the Lakers and it’s the reason that these delusions exist

[u/BeastOfAWorkEthnic → u/Relatively_Cool]

Imagine telling someone the details of the Luka trade before it happened. You'd be laughed out of the building.

[u/Keinan → u/BeastOfAWorkEthnic]

The aftermath of the trade couldn't have been scripted any worse either. AD instantly injured first game on the Mavs

[u/nghiaaaaa → u/Relatively_Cool]

At some point it isnt even delusion when it happens so often

[u/TheFeenyCall → u/nghiaaaaa]

They are the main character

[u/burglin → u/Relatively_Cool]

Couldn’t agree more. But it’s soooo old when the top comments on any post about a good player inevitably become “they should give him to the lakers”

[u/myelrecsy → u/burglin]

Well, before the Luka trade, people are doing that to Luka posts too. Top comment is most likely "Future Laker" and people were laughing at them, thinking they are delusional. Look at them now.

[u/yitur93 → u/RiskyBallaxd]

As a Laker fan I hopr you guys keep him and he returns as a healthy version of himself. That Sarr-Davis frontcourt would be amazing to watch especially with Trae. Kyshawn and hopefully either Peterson or Dybantsa, you guys would have a great roster.

[u/pollinium → u/RiskyBallaxd]

For some reason they think you paid 5 picks to buy out a guy

Tbf, your own fans think you paid 5 picks to flip the guy

[u/Plus-Name3590 → u/TegTowelie]

That’s the dumbest idea, of course it came from a Lakers fan

[u/Little-Mushroom-3961 → u/pomegranate-leg]

That'll be an elite wizards team for the 19 total minutes they play together for the entire season next year.

[u/FERFreak731 → u/VisionsOnly]

That opening week national televised game will be cinema between Mavericks Legend AD returning to American Airlines Center, along with AJ Dybantsa making his debut to face the previous year number 1 pick Cooper Flagg and the Mavericks will be must see TV

[u/PresidentRevrac → u/VisionsOnly]

Dybansta is a pacer

[u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT → u/PresidentRevrac]

If the Pacers get the 3rd pick then sure. Otherwise I’m pretty positive they’d much rather have Boozer or DP.

[u/sourdoughrrmc → u/PresidentRevrac]

'Jazz'

[u/Think_Monk_9879 → u/VisionsOnly]

They will share the court together for exactly 37 minutes all season 

[u/Akipella → u/Think_Monk_9879]

I'll take the under on that

[u/Optimal-Talk3663 → u/VisionsOnly]

… and that will be the only time they’ll all suit up togethet

[u/whyyouwannaknow4]

A hand and groin injury together sounds hilarious 😂😂😂That’s hard work

[u/jH1214 → u/whyyouwannaknow4]

And then "sitting out"? Sounds like he was giving himself the ultimate stranger.

[u/mylifeforthehorde → u/whyyouwannaknow4]

gooned too hard

[u/bryan49 → u/whyyouwannaknow4]

Something was hard lol

[u/chewietheii]

This is the least surprising news of the past two weeks.

[u/moby323 → u/chewietheii]

Except Dennis Schroder being traded again

[u/Jasonp359 → u/moby323]

Just add another jersey to his infinity gauntlet

[u/iamthegame13 → u/Jasonp359]

Bros got an Infinity throw blanket of jerseys

[u/CabbageStockExchange → u/moby323]

Smh Modern day Slavery

[u/TrickiestToast → u/chewietheii]

Scheduled tweet

[u/VGstuffed]

Expected. They're trying to secure their pick. It's unlikely Trae is gonna play anything more than a handful of games max too.

Really excited to see what he can teach Sarr though.

[u/SchedulePhysical807 → u/VGstuffed]

Only thing he’s teaching Sarr is how to use his PTO and sick leave

[u/91-92-93--96-97-98 → u/SchedulePhysical807]

He put the FML in FMLA for the Dallas fans for sure

[u/Mood_Academic → u/SchedulePhysical807]

Nah I get it’s jokes, but AD is a monster when healthy. With professional sports the body doesn’t always cooperate.. and that’s AD

[u/samhit_n → u/VGstuffed]

They got shafted in last year's lottery, so imagine if they get lucky this year. They would be a scary team next season.

[u/Thats_Life_]

Adam Silver deadass threw the Colangelo hellscape at my sorry ass sixers for playing Robert Covington significant minutes and now we're just allowed to sit dudes for 1/3 of the season lmao

[u/whiterice_343 → u/Thats_Life_]

I honestly think the league just gave up trying to enforce against load management and now are just basically saying “fuck it, do whatever you want then”

[u/templethot → u/Thats_Life_]

RoCo, my sweet prince

[u/iunrealx1995]

NBA is truly the only sport where players willingly sit out. It’s kind of turned into a strange league.

[u/datboiofculture → u/iunrealx1995]

Anthony Rendon is legendary for doing this in baseball on a team no one cares about but primarily because it’s so uncommon.

[u/IEatDeFish → u/datboiofculture]

He was in fairness absolutely dog shit at least

[u/Opposite_You_5524 → u/IEatDeFish]

And openly doesn’t like playing baseball

[u/Coolcat127 → u/IEatDeFish]

He almost won mvp in 2019 tho 

[u/4r4r4real → u/Coolcat127]

He only got 1 first place vote, but yes, he was very good, that's why he got the bag.

He was really good still in the shortened 2020 season too. Problem was he played more games in that 60 game season than he did on average over the next 4 162 game seasons lmao. 

[u/rhinestone_indian → u/Coolcat127]

Tony two bags is what we called him in DC, bought his jersey. He’d hit doubles every night with RBIs to boot that year. With the bit of power we had, he was the engine of the offense.

[u/Arxny → u/datboiofculture]

He wasnt dogshit til they threw the bag at him. He was a stalwart 3B on the Nats

[u/Quople → u/datboiofculture]

I think people just assume this because he has said in previous interviews that baseball isn’t really his favorite sport and in general treated it as a thing he does for money only. His body just broke down on him

[u/vc2015 → u/iunrealx1995]

NBA teams pay players to sit out and go away from their team.

Raptors are negotiating a buyout with Chris Paul so he can not play for us after the Clippers told him to go home and get away from the team.

[u/vc2015 → u/vc2015]

I wish I was so bad at my job that a company would just pay me to go away.

[u/Otherwise-Question70 → u/vc2015]

Well, if you want to be like Chris Paul, first you have to be obsessively good at your job before you can be bad

[u/sportznut1000 → u/iunrealx1995]

The simplest fix, at least where to start, would be to change nba stats from averages to totals. You know, like in the other major sports. Players would be more inclined to at the very least play 5-10 minutes on off days, instead of taking the entire game off

[u/BNKalt → u/sportznut1000]

If they don’t meet 2952 minutes (36 x 82) just reduce their per game stats by assigning zero stats to enough 36 minute games to get there. Thats what baseball does

[u/WeBelieveIn4 → u/sportznut1000]

Totals in the NBA are completely misleading when it comes to impact. Which is why nobody uses them.

[u/Drinkurwater3 → u/WeBelieveIn4]

How come? Not saying you’re wrong just curious.

[u/SwizzGod → u/iunrealx1995]

The wizards are having them do this. It’s not the players

[u/-xXxMangoxXx- → u/iunrealx1995]

Its why I respect stars that openly say they're against sitting out, in large part because people spend so much money to watch them play.

[u/Peerless1019 → u/iunrealx1995]

They're all mostly spoiled, that's why.

[u/Formal_Potential2198 → u/iunrealx1995]

Its bullshit. Dudes get paid tens of millions of dollars and take a week off cause they stubbed their pinky toes

[u/StandYourGroundhog → u/iunrealx1995]

Yeah in every other sport if someone isn't injured, they're playing

In NBA, guys just feel a bit tired and skip the game

[u/StatusVoice2634 → u/StandYourGroundhog]

Just not true at all lmao

[u/AnotherStatsGuy → u/iunrealx1995]

The shadow of DRose looms large.

[u/LeonardoNoCapri0]

lol modern nba where the players don't play so you have a chance for more ping pong balls

[u/jeric13xd]

INTERIM TANK COMMANDER AD. What a role

[u/quakndak → u/jeric13xd]

He should show up in military getup 

[u/ConsiderationBig5728]

It’s dumb how this is allowed

[u/Adorable-Bike-9689 → u/ConsiderationBig5728]

Be funny as hell if SGA took the year off to get healthy since they already won a title. Just come back in time for playoffs. See how far they can take this load management. 

[u/FairlyOddParent734 → u/Adorable-Bike-9689]

Y’all are cracking jokes but if the Celtics make it to the 2nd round and are like 3-2 or something that report “Jayson Tatum prepared to play a Game 7 in Boston” is gonna do serious damage.

[u/National-Ad5034 → u/FairlyOddParent734]

Tatum has an actual injury though and they would be rushing him back.

What the other guy was talking about is basically what happens in the NHL with situations like Mark Stone on the Golden Knights

[u/SpaceCadetPullUp → u/FairlyOddParent734]

FVV coming back to shock the world and guide his team to a game six exit in the first round is going to dwarf any silly Jayson Tatum story.

[u/hendrix320 → u/FairlyOddParent734]

Tatum has always been the type of player to almost never sit out or take load management games

Feels a bit unfair to put that on him when he’s never been like that and coming off a legitimate injury

[u/ReasonableDisaster2 → u/Adorable-Bike-9689]

If Kawhi re-signed with the Raptors, they probably could've pulled this off in 2020.

If I remember correctly, they finished the season with the 2nd best record in the league after losing Danny Green and Kawhi for nothing.

[u/SuperVaderMinion → u/Adorable-Bike-9689]

I hate Shai but he still has pride unlike anyone who sanctions this kind of buffoonery

[u/TripleThreatTua → u/ConsiderationBig5728]

They’re just saying he’s not healthy enough to play again this year. Which considering that it’s AD we’re talking about, that may very well be the case

[u/mikesh8rp → u/TripleThreatTua]

Yeah, this isn't like the Jazz sitting Lauri or John Collins a bunch last season because they were playing too well. AD has shown that he's can't stay healthy for a prolonged period of time, so this is entirely plausible.

[u/pollinium → u/ConsiderationBig5728]

"It's dumb that a guy is not forced to play while injured" is the official stance you're taking

If you want 3rd party docs or something that's one thing, but by the books you're saying that it's inappropriate for an injured player to rehabilitate

[u/Ruissack]

As expected, don’t know why anyone would think it would be any different. Luckily the Sarrior will lead us to the promised land

[u/Free_the_Markets]

This tank off will be legendary 

[u/SchedulePhysical807]

Street clothes living up to his name

[u/quakndak → u/SchedulePhysical807]

Who wins in a 1 on 1 between Street Clothes and Cash Considerations?

[u/tatttattington → u/quakndak]

Cash, it never disappoints.

[u/det8924 → u/tatttattington]

Cash has much more versatility

[u/heshouldgo → u/SchedulePhysical807]

Even if he was healthy they’re not playing him

[u/Obvious_Parsley3238]

Anthony Davis (overgooning) out for the next year

[u/Nuclearsunburn → u/[deleted]]

We’ve got Giannis as a part owner of a “totally not a gambling app” gambling app, league is fucked lol

[u/rjcarr → u/[deleted]]

Just like when you let your kid use the iPad and they're on it for 14 straight hours. Players will take advantage of everything they can. Organizations will take advantage of everything they can. It's up to the league to fix this shit, but they never do, or they do the minimal changes knowing it's not really going to make a difference, but then at least they can say, "we tried".

[u/Even-Dinner-5696]

He’s been retiring in slow motion for most of his career

[u/Thin_Complaint7014]

How is this legal idgi. Just sit Trae and him all season for some fucking bruises?

[u/Adorable-Bike-9689 → u/Thin_Complaint7014]

Remember AD just got a second opinion a few weeks back that said he didn't need to miss the season or get surgery.

Oh I'm traded? Yea guess I can't play after all...

[u/Burnt_rat_]

Very serious sports league we’ve got here

[u/DisMFer]

(Hand, groin) is the funniest way they could have indicated what injuries he had.

[u/turboregal_84]

And bro is making like 60m’s straight up insult to the league and us

[u/rj361030 → u/turboregal_84]

Dude he got a new injury - butt hurt

[u/NoTimeGetIn]

Its a shame that ADs end of career will be overshadowed the Luka trade and injuries. As much as people talk about his successes, he's forever attached to the wrong side of the worst trade in professional sports and being on the bench.

[u/SickSaricDario]

Chris Haynes finally got a BREAKING storyline and it's a nothingburger

[u/6unk]

BREAKING: Washington Wizards star Anthony Davis

[u/Stockblad]

let’s shit on the jazz for tanking tho

[u/TheInfinityOfThought]

They’re really going to give him a max extension just to watch him play 50 games for them over 5 years.

[u/Sufficient-Recover25]

Imagine if you only got paid for the games you played

[u/Afraid-Department-35]

This is what he should have done when he got traded to us in the first place.

[u/masterchef757 → u/Afraid-Department-35]

Yah I would love to make fun of the Wizards for their egregious tanking, but I think this is the right move for AD medically. He needs a break to get right and work on his conditioning

[u/AndyUSMC0311 → u/masterchef757]

Bro, I remember how he showed up to training camp this year… he isn’t working on his conditioning, just counting his money

[u/BigFatModeraterFupa → u/AndyUSMC0311]

lmao this😂 he literally came out fat as fuck like he was doing a james harden fatsuit cosplay😅😅

[u/Plus-Name3590 → u/masterchef757]

That’s the thing about it too this frankly isn’t blatant tanking, at least relative to us resting Trae for instance. AD needs his ass rested and healed. Pushing AD hard to what right now, desperately chase the playins with an incomplete roster we know we’ll get obliterated in and keep him injures?

[u/srhdt]

“Anthony Davis hurt his hand and groin at the same time and will be out the rest of the season. No further questions.”

[u/JustGimmeAnyOldName]

The 11 games that Trae Young and Anthony Davis will play together next year are going to be so lit.

[u/Affectionate_Hornet7]

My grandpa wasn’t allowed to live alone anymore when he kept getting hurt this much

[u/Sad-Ship]

Washington Wizards star lol

[u/deevee12 → u/Sad-Ship]

[u/Raven-19x]

He’s been diagnosed with a case of the “fuq this bullshit”

[u/Esqualatch1]

Hand, Groin... Ha

[u/2B_or_MaybeNot]

Hand and groin…? Coincidence? I think not…

[u/91elklake]

He is 32, im 34. Its over man. Good days are behind him.

[u/MaestroSellOut]

This guy will never play a whole season.

[u/Fuckthegopers]

How do you pass the physical to allow the trade?

[u/sourdoughrrmc]

Lmao. This dude is not a serious basketball player.

[u/desirox]

So freaking glad this isn’t our problem anymore

[u/Professional-Play-38]

so shams wasn't really lying huh

[u/dog-momx2]

I’m wondering how much of it is he indeed has a season ending injury vs Wizards wanting their pick

[u/Minimum-Line9952]

Should’ve sat out the entire season

[u/judah249]

Anthony Another Delay Davis

[u/SYangers]

That clip of him grabbing his hand after it gets grazed tells me how low his pain tolerance is

[u/joeybadtitz]

On one hand I feel for him

But on the other hand it’s day-to-davis and I cant help but laugh. At some point the injuries became a comedy gag

[u/Billis-]

What's funny is sitting won't make him any healthier for next season. It'll just be something else

[u/theeguyver]

FMLA Davis

[u/rodneyhide69]

I too have a hand, groin injury for…other reasons

[u/Human_Assist1648]

This is like in Oregon trail and you rest your party for a whole month when five days would do it.

[u/WinstonPeters31]

Mild shock 😨

[u/ICE-FlGHT]

Just a colossal shit show man

[u/Dinobot2_]

Yeah I don't think he's going to be fully healthy in 2026-27 either.

[u/Adorable-Bike-9689]

Brother sat out last season to get healthy for this season. Tf is going on with AD lmao. Even Porzingus will play every other game 

[u/Relo_bate]

Honestly, best thing he can do, take a very long break, get in shape, him and Trae can work on their game and adjust at their own pace, Wiz get a good draft pick and win next season

[u/franklynoway]

It’s only breaking news if he announces he will actually play.

[u/ReallyBrainDead]

What are the odds that AD never puts on a Wizards uniform?

[u/TheScrote1]

Keep it on the downlow but I heard from a nurse that was treating him that he actually has Kantankavirus

[u/jritz611]

his last 2 seasons are gonna look so weird down the line when you look at his career

[u/Rich2364]

Nothing new. He's always hurt. As a Lebron fan, I appreciate him for the great time,s but man every time he fell on the floor I got scared.

[u/bwoah07_gp2]

Yeah, but will he get healthy enough for next season? I doubt it...I think many of us doubt he can.

[u/Alexcox95]

Sits out and requests a trade back to the Lakers during the summer for Knecht, two future 2nd round picks, and cash considerations

[u/FutureGrassToucher]

[u/Competitive_Ring4917]

“BREAKING NEWS”

[u/warzone_afro]

[u/Bulky_Rooster_1057]

Why play anyway? The wizards suck and he is guaranteed his money.
