Ahem... PPA is better than PER. ;) Season is still young for Wall, but PPA has Lillard more productive than Wall. Calderon too. Would have to check on Dragic and Chalmers.

Now I love Beal but if you swap Beal for Harden, what would the outlook of this team be? I don't think the defense would suffer at all but we would add a 25 ppg scorer, who can create his own shot.

For all the moves the EG did or didn't do, this one maybe the biggest that prevents us from being a legitimate playoff team.

But while this is a negative for EG, I would be remiss if i didn't point out that he should get credit for putting together a team, that is built for and plays extremely good defense.


Thing is though that it would have taken Beal + Singleton for Harden. Would the Wizards still have been able to deal Lewis for Okafor and Ariza while staying under the luxury tax? Still maybe the Wizards are better with Harden but perhaps not defensively. Looks like the Wizards could be a playoff team next year which isn't too bad. Hopefully the Wizards can lock up a good pick in the lottery.

CCJ

I think I recognize that second picture.

I was out there 3 times. Beautiful place.

If I could figure out what to do for work, maybe I would move out there.

Actually, I think I might have just come up with a idea.
