I am trying to figure out if Caron Butler is the first one out the door with Arenas's recent comments. This is Arenas's team and I am sure Pollin felt the same way so I am wondering what the Wiz will do with this situation considering they are not playing well at all.
I honestly don't think Tough Juice is the real problem on this team in order to win. I believe Jamison is the guy who really had held this team back. He has had a Shareef Abdur-Rahim type run with every team he has been with and is a stat padder when it comes down to it. I honestly think someone like Zach Randolph is the same player as Jamison except that Jamison has a much better attitude and is at least willing to pass alot more. That doesnt change the fact that his team's never go anywhere.
I guess what I am trying to say is that the Wizards need to take a gamble somewhere and get a guy that can form a 1-2 punch with Arenas. I still think that Rubio deal was bad for the mere fact that Miller is the type of player that is a dime a dozen. Foye is a gem, but Arenas isn't going anywhere so why get a potential star PG in the last year of his deal when you know your franchise player plays the same position. I mean I understand they wanted insurance for Arenas considering Mike James is a looser but there are better backup PG's out there that won't cost you a lottery pick. The pick should have been packaged with Jamison and gotten a guy that is a true 2nd guy(Stoudemire could have been had for Jamison and our lottery pick). Butler is a 3rd guy, he always will be. Jamison and him go back and forth trying to be the 2nd guy behind Arenas and its kills them at the end of every game.
I think the Wizards are just a good move away from challenging Lebron. Arenas will get healthy, but someone like Jamison needs to go.

"People talk about Clyde Drexler being the best player on the team, but I say it was Kevin Duckworth.If he played well, we knew we were going to win."

Jamison passes...??

Anyway, Orange Juice needs to get traded, this whole jabstep, pumpfake is getting tired and old (everybody and their moms knows he does it before any shot), he takes too many contested jumpers, terrible turnovers and his passing is waaaaaaaay down from last year (from 4.3apg to 1.2)...
He's terrible, I rather have Jamison being the starting SF on this team, slow and defenseless as he is... At least his shots go up the moment he touches the ball...

Fruit juice needs to go asap. Trade him for a big defensive sf(tyshaun prince) or an active pf.

Re: So is Tough Juice Gonna Go?
I don't know what the hell is wrong with this guy. He just looks sloppy out there. It's not even that he doesn't know the system. He can't finish inside the paint, he can't pass, he can't create his own shot...
He's still playing good D and hitting his jumper every now and then. His ability to create for himself is completely gone it seems. We're talking about a guy who used to come close to triple doubles and fill up the stat sheet. It's not even worth trading him because we won't get fair value.

Well I can't very well tell you if I like the trade if you don't tell me whether or not the Wizards need to receive a pick to trade Caron Butler for Jose Calderon.
