He is holding the mic like a wine glass.

Agent zero not wrong

The Wizards would trade Trash and/or AD in a heartbeat if they started interfering with AJ.

Gilbert is wilding man. AJ going to be all of those things and more but Trae and AD won’t take anything from who is set to become. He won’t be hijacking the offense because Trae is there. He’ll be better off the ball because Trae. He will be better on defense because of ad. Neither will likely be there in 2 years either. Rushing to play on an awful team doesn’t always build winning habits

yea AJ has been featured his entire life. He’ll be fine taking a step back for a year.

He’s not a point so he’ll need to learn how to play with one eventually. Better sooner than later. Also will learn a lot about team defense from AD. No downsides.

And that’s what Alijah plays the way he plays.

I think being a dad is the only think Gil has taken seriously his entire life.

Great for Alijah, bad for anyone that has to deal with him regarding any matter big or small.

Gilbert is all about getting those 10k hours as early as possible.

I’m weak . Also just like Cooper, I expect AJ to play minimal to no real basketball on the court with AD. Either due to trade, availability and or both.

No trade value if he can’t stay upright through Thanksgiving.
