Wow Durant flying to Boston with Brady/Ainge from the Hamptons. Some reports saying he's a Celtic.....if Ainge pulls this off he's GM of the past 10 years...

Ok move for Mahimini, though I would rather have taken a shot on Dedmon for less money. Now you have two starting centers. At least our D will be improved.

Maybe Gortat is gone.

"Ian is a proven playoff veteran. He gives us depth, defense, and rebounding. We believe he will help us towards our goal of being a treadmill playoff team"

Lol at our big free agent signing, this is comical. How does this move help us?

Mahinmi might be a trade-able asset next summer.

Under a new GM. I PRAY.

A back up C. Not what we needed. Gortat is solid. We need a 4. Morris sucks.

Celtics equivalent of J. Michael tweeted a #35 Celtics jersey then deleted it. Durant seems to be a Celtic people.

Double **** by Ainge!

Ian actually can be a solid starting center for about 3 years... fine...especially since 16 mil is about the market rate for a starting center.... but why do we need two? Money needed to go to a 4... How much would Nicholson or T.Jones cost now? :/

Solid defensively. Decent rebounder Not really a rim protector but he did start all 71 games last year that he played. That's the going rate for a starting center, which is strange because I thought we had one

Agreed, in a vacuum the going rate for an above average center should be about this... but Gortat is BETTER... there was no reason to acquire him.. Unless they trade gortat... which I fear since they'll attach Porter/Oubre to em... it makes no sense at all. We needed a 4... not a 5...and a 30 year old one at that...

This might be the most disappointing off season ever as a Wizards fan. This signing makes no sense. The team lacks direction and front office leadership.

I'd like to think there's a greater plan in all this but who are we fooling? Ernie is just grabbing bodies at this point. And it's looking more and more like KD is going to Boston. East is stacked. We aren't going anywhere and Wall is gone when his contract is up. We're back at square one. Awesome.
