thetorch Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 The buyout timetable is going longer than expected. I want Goodwin to get his contract but I'd almost rather have him play for any other team in the NBA. Barton should have been gone days ago. They may be letting Barton make indirect contact with other teams to ensure he is signed right after he is released. Sometimes teams do this as a favor to players. Barton doesn't deserve this treatment and there is a good chance he doesn't get signed anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they control him and he plays in the G-league the rest of this year if they don’t sign him to the NBA minimum contract, but if he plays out the year he becomes a free agent at the end of the year. I agree with your opinion on the Wizards management, they are a horribly run franchise. If Goodwin stays on a 2 way the rest of the year, he's stuck in the G-League and is then a free agent at the end of the season. He continues to get paid 1/2 the NBA rookie league minimum. If the Wizards sign him to a standard contract & add him to the roster, he's still a free agent IF the contract is just for the remainder of the season. IMO this is what would be best for Goodwin, but there isn't a ton of incentive for the Wizards to do that. The Wizards have some leverage here because Goodwin's pay for the rest of the season will double when he signs a standard minimum contact. That is why the Wizards may be able to lock him into a longer non-guaranteed contract. For example, they could try to small time him & only sign him for the rest of the year if he agrees to a club option for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizards incompetence here is costing Goodwin a lot of money every day he remains on a 2 way instead of a standard minimum deal. Maybe they don't care about that, but if I'm Goodwin I'm pretty pissed about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m Goodwin, I’m really nervous right now and ready to sign any piece of paper they put in front of me.

willie Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 My complaint about money in sports is it’s sooo top heavy. A Lebron or Max Scherzer make ridiculous money and teams fight over the salary of the last couple of names on a roster. Baseball is the most restrictive. Until you hit free agency your pay is limited regardless of what on field success you may have. Jordon making 500k or even a million pales in comparison to the stars. Seems to me the max contracts are way to high and the minimums are way to low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 The Wizards are using the CBA to their advantage against Goodwin. It does seem stacked against him at this point, but the union agreed to the CBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stmdragons Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Yeah, I’m hoping JGood can eventually find his way onto another team. It’s good he’s been able to establish himself with a bottom tier team, but I didn’t realize just how dysfunctional of an organization the Wizards are. Hope this gets resolved soon.

And the trade deadline is past, so you can’t open a roster spot via a trade. Goodwin may find himself playing in the G league the rest of the year. When the year is over and he becomes a free agent, hopefully he will find a better situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Wizards Goodwin custom jersey my mom got me for the holidays going to be obsolete by the time it arrives? (She ordered it 12/20 and I called Monumental Sports and they said it won't arrive until 4/10?!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you get a year after ordering and if they're traded, you can get it replaced with the new team at no cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Elrond Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 The Wizards are not going to the playoffs this year unless something changes, but with the passing of the trade deadline they have lost their best chance to improve, while also passing on their best chance to lay a foundation for next year by not getting rid of excess players. Just reinforces my opinion that Wizards management isn’t very good at their job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wizards got destroyed by the 76ers 4 games to 1 in a gentleman's sweep in that playoff series. Russ averaged a triple double, but he shot just 33% from the field and 25% from 3 while turning the ball over 4+ times per game. He's also 2 years older now.
