As part of three-team deal, Nene goes to the Wizards, JaVale McGee to Denver and Nick Young to Clippers, sources tell Y! Sports.

Nene for McGee. Simply as that. Just crazy, man. Just crazy. Your season is over. Stupid move.

ESPN didn't say anything about a third team...Geez that makes this a garbage move....Unless a Chandler deal will soon be announced too.

Wizards fan here, my twitter timeline is lighting up. How are Nene's knees?

The Wizards send Rony Turiaf to Denver with McGee as part of three-team trade, too.
Wow. Masai sure changed his mind on Nene's contract pretty quick. McGee is an idiot, but he's talented as hell, it'll be interesting to see what Karl can do with him.
Also gotta believe this means a contract with Chandler is coming soon.

Clippers is the 3rd team.

Expect to pay him in the summer, he wants something close to 14mi a year.

oh wow...i don't know what to say....i don't know if i should cry with tears of joy or complete disappointment...who knows, maybe Karl can do something with McGee...although i'm not surprised McGee was all we could get for Nene...
i AM glad Nene is gone though, gives Manimal more pt

McGee is probably a lost cause. I'm just glad to be rid of Nene.

Wow that was unexpected and a complete surprise.
I wonder what will happen to Mozgov and Koufos now? Are they going to be riding on the bench / traded in the off-season?

Weird move by our FO, maybe they're making cap space for Chandler.
BTW Didn't McGee had asthma problems?

i think McGee will be the one on the bench until he proves himself...surely Karl will bench him if he continues his headcase plays?
the plus side is we don't have to resign him, and hopefully get Chandler back in.
i like the youth movement thinking

Am I the only one who thinks the trade is HORRIBLE?
Unless we get the wizards first, I'm going to be really pissed off all day. PLEASE, Masai, tell me you got more than Turiaf/McGee for Nene....
Youth movement, clearly. Ty, Afflalo, Gallo, Faried, McGee is the future. Clears cap space and gives flexibility BUT - we need an early pick to take advantage. At least McGee is only 24 and a true 7ftr, maybe Karl can teach him something that Washington couldn't...

Faried is better than Nene and your FO knew this. They undid the mistake of paying so much salary and now they can resign players like Gallinari and Lawson without $ pressure.

^^ exactly.
Turiaf is far from amazing but he's a big body we can throw at teams for 5 mins a game

Moot point. Denver also needs to re-sign McGee who will probably want Nene's contract.
From a contending pov this is a bad trade. But I understand this deal. We arent getting out of the first round anyway, may as well do it with all young guys.
