Wiz trade 5th pick to Minnesota

[Soca]

By far the worst trade of last Summer.

[Ruzious]

I also HATE what the Redskins just did, Consiglieri.

What I think's going to happen is they'll discover Jason Campbell is far more durable than McNabb. Maybe trade for a franchise offensive tackle, not overpay for McNabb.

How many more offensive coaches did you want to see get fired before they finally gave up on Campbell? Nice guy - but not a good QB. I'm iffy on the trade, because I hate the idea of trading a high 2nd round pick when you're not a SB contender, but at least now we'll get a chance to see what we have at WR now that they'll finally get to play with a real QB.

I hate you EG...how can he survive after this massacre of a trade

David Stern should of vetod this trade like Commishes do in Fantasy Football. It was a 1st degree Rape

Evans beat out fellow guards Stephen Curry and Brandon Jennings in balloting. The Kings' rookie racked up 67 of 123 first-place votes, and appeared among the top three on every single ballot. Curry, the Warrior, finished second, earning 43 first-place votes and appearing on all but four ballots.

Kudos to Evans, Curry, and Jennings.

And kudos to Randy Foye...

And Washington trades their #2 pick to the Miami Heat!!

Beasley would fit in Perfectly with Wiz, he would have way more freedom/Green light. It would be a Nice core of Arenas,Blatche,Beasley,Mcgee,Foye.

It be something like Beasley, miami's mid first round pick, Jones for Wiz first round and Filler, not sure if Wiz will do it though.

Why in the hell would the Wizards do that?

[Chosen01]

Seeing as how the number 5 pick was traded last year, was an epic fail, as some fans have said before, who knows? lol

That was done under Abe Pollin, who's now passed away. The new owner is coming in has a track record with the Capitols where his philosophy has been to build through the draft.

So we follow an epic fail of a trade for another epic fail of a trade?

Ah, just wait until Lebitch signs with the Knicks and then we can talk epic fail.

Statistics are like bikini's; they show a lot, but they don't show everything. Any list that has Wade and Foye in the same grouping should be considered unreliable at best.

[fishercob]

I think they'd both be near the top of the list of players that killed the Wizards last year...

How about 4-letter last name dudes?

In the entire list, only Foye really seemed out of place in his ranking. The other Wizards' numbers show how dysfunctional the team was last year, when the 4th quarter offense frequently was Foye trying to be lights out (or Boykins bopping about) and Butler and Jamison increasingly came up empty handed.

Sign and trade: Foye, CLE 2010 1st, WAS 2011 1st, and other assorted nonsense for Wade. Guess that would eb a lot of salary, eh? Get er done EG.

[fishercob]

Ok, lotta thoughts. I'll try to keep them organized.

1) Miller is a 40% career three point shooter. He's never played on a good team. The Wizards are going to be an *elite* offensive team. He's a willing role player and isn't going to come in and try to "get his."

2)Perhaps Deshawn wasn't included because, when healthy he's our best perimeter defender

3) The Wiz are going to be improved on defense because of their size. They may be slow, but they're very big and are going to hold lots of team to one shot because of their improved rebounding. They're going to have to figure out how to force some missed shots though (cringes).

4) This would seem to signal an organizational belief in Blatche and McGee. This has to please a lot of people here who were clamoring for more Dray. We absolutely need him now.

5) While I wouldn't be shocked to see another mimor move, I don't expect anything big. People are overestimating the need to consolidate -- we need depth! Caron's not going to get run into the ground now that Miller is behind him. A veteran big would be nice for sure though, but Songaila is replacable, especially for the minutes we'd hope to need from him.

6) Randy Foye? Was a high lotto pick, seems like an ideal third guard if he can figure it out. Can fill it up, shoot it, play some D. He's far from a finished product, but the cat's got some definite upside.

7) We have some really nice lineup combinations:

Arenas, Stevenson, Miller, Blatche, Haywood
Foye, Miller, McGuire, Jamison, MCgee


EG and co clearly believe they have a good team and this makes them that much better. They better be right, but I tend to think they are.

I think the Wiz are going to suprise a lot of people.

THIS GUY!

[WallToWall]

this thread is too painful for me to look at.
Wasted pick. Man oh man!
