Trade a Oubre for a point guard please. Is he worth McConnell or any other PGs?

Spoiler Alert: Kelly Oubre Jr. isn't very good and most teams around the league know it.
Maybe he can be flipped if he somehow shows something he didn't in Washington, but I'm not holding my breath.

My fear for Oubre is that he tries to prove that he can be a big-time scorer by chucking too much. I get the impression that he isn't a good enough shooter to justify giving him every shot in our offense, even in our bench unit. We'll see how he fits in.

Rivers is waived already and we don’t seem to have room for Oubre. Washington really wanted Ariza. Shouldn’t we have been able to get something in the deal? We couldn’t get the Wiz to throw in a second-round pick and some cash for the arena?

If we had room for Ariza, why wouldn’t we have room for Oubre?

“Defense leads to offense. Just focus on that, just continue to keep that gameplan solid,” Oubre said. “I’m a confident individual but one thing I know I can control everyday is my effort and my energy. I will do that each and every night. My offense will follow. I’m not really worried about that because I know I can play.”

I don’t understand how we traded with Washington and didn’t get Satoransky.

We have 96 minutes at the forward positions, and I assume Mikal will play about 15 or so a game at SG. So that is 110 minutes for TJ, Oubre, JJ, and Mikal. That's almost 28 minutes each. Plenty of minutes to go around.

We didn't have room for Ariza. We were helped out by injuries, but when everyone is healthy, it just means more Point Booker.
