If WSH bypasses Peterson, and Utah/Memphis/Chicago selects him, I bet he does an Eli Manning and demand an immediate trade to another team. Especially Utah. Peterson is basically saying he wants to go to WSH by meeting with only them, and no one else.

Peterson doesnt visually appeal to me in terms of his basketball style. Thats a bigger deal than it seems. All the greats just looked awesome doing it. AJ looks awesome doing it and so did Jordan, Kobe, Lebron…they all have Strength, Stamina, Speed and …Style.

I wait for clippers talk. And when you do its talks like this.. same topic. Any real basketball talk? About the team kawhi is in, where he might head, where he best fits..
