Official Trade Thread - Part XXIV

The Freddette thing is interesting. Apparently 6 teams reached out to Sacramento (not including Utah). We have an unbalanced roster as-is with Singleton/Vesely/Booker/Seraphin eating space. I don't think very highly of Freddette, but he can shoot and we have nobody who can score off the bench in our backcourt. Maybe our pursuit of him is why we didn't keep Shannon (only logical reason I can think of as to why we didn't)

Make Singleton and/or Booker, not Vesely, the piece(s) traded for Jimmer and I'll be ecstatic, jive.


Booker's better but much older and his contract is up. Singleton makes no sense to keep on the roster. I would hope Maynor goes somewhere if Jimmer is acquired. I also think it's foolish to give up on Vesely too soon, since they now have not only Gortat but also Al Harrington, who both are better fits next to Vesely than Okafor was.

Vesely and Seraphin STARTED TOGETHER AND WON 8 OF 10 GAMES AT THE END OF 2011-2012. They showed promise! The Wizards, however, immediately brought veterans in who stunted whatever growth Vesely and Seraphin (remember the double doubles?) showed at the end of that 2011-2012 season.

Now Wittman and the Wizards want to bury JV's career in Washington -- while most fans are wrongly saying Vesely is terrible. I know what it's like to struggle to maintain an emotional balance. However, I think Wizards fans are really irrational when they rage against Vesely. Dude STARTED MANY GAMES AS A ROOKIE. IMO trading him for Jimmer is flat STUPID.

Jimmer is a bad player that wouldn't get a lot of burn here (assuming we wanna give Wall and beal 35 mins a night). I'd rather keep Jan as a situational defender. That and his expiring is worth a damn.

Only thing that's irrational is your support and excuse making for Vesely. By every single statistical & objective measure he's not an NBA player. You can argue what he did against Poland during the summer or how effective he was against Juwan Howard two years ago but it's plain laughable to suggest he's been undermined by the coaching staff, front office or fans here. He's had every opportunity to step up, improve his game and become a core piece. He doesn't want to. If he did, he's have worked on his game and body. He simply wants to be Honza, he wants be back overseas, playing for Partizan again where he's loved. You want more for him that he wants for himself.

Your letting Vesely become your own personal albatross much like Kwame became mines.

I would trade Veseley for Jimmer in a heartbeat. Jimmer shot 42% from 3 last year. Then again i would trade Vesely for a box of Krispy Kremes.

SMH at the Knicks. They have a huge advatage over other teams. Everyone wants to play in NY and they have huge revenue. But their management has been piss poor. Dumb move after dumb move.

Why would any sane person give up anything for Bargs? I was in disbelief when i heard about that trade. And now Dolan says he expects a championship? Stick to music dumbass.

[DANNYLANDOVER]

Vesely is gone after this season...I couldn't be happier! Hopefully, no more threads dedicated to how the Wiz destroyed his confidence and ruined his career.

[TGW]

Vesely is CCJ's new cause...just like Jamison, Crawford and Blatche were his causes in the past.

[jivelikenice]

Can't trade for long-term salary unless its Nene on the move (and that's not happening). Ernie has to act NOW and get whatever he can for either Ves/Booker/Singleton/Seraphin to fix the terrible bench he assembled. Maynor was a mistake....WOW

Vesely hasn't played this season and until he's used the way he plays best, I will keep saying what I do. You could be right, but I'm convinced otherwise … for now, Dat.

The coach's responsibility is to do what is best for the team. It is not his responsibility to do what is best for an individual player, especially a scrub.

This times infinity.

Vesely would look better alongside 4 very good players including a great stretch four who could play PF on defense and SF on offense, but that doesn't mean Vesely is a good player. It just means that he might look a little better in a certain situation. But there are still plenty of other NBA players who look even better in that same role. For example, Ariza can do everything Vesely can do only better. You can't name a hypothetical lineup configuration where Vesely would be a better fit than Ariza. And Ariza is a relatively easy-to-find journeyman type of player.

I can't believe people are actually wasting time posting on the merits of playing Vesely. He's horrible, and they should do him a favor and just let him return to Europe.
