Ariza has been shooting a lot better from the perimeter lately.

Trade wall for the number 1 pick. I dont have a problem with AJ price who is a better passer, shooter and smarter player leading this team at Pg

Doing a great job of setting up his teammates and hitting 3's. How bout Ariza? When he's on, he's really good at both ends.

Wall isn't worth a number 1 pick at this point. It doesnt matter though. If the Wizards want to trade wall, they will bench him, lower his trade value, then trade him for an expiring. Because Wizards.

Dammit - my Verizon guide said the game started at 8:00...just started watching like 10 minutes ago. Ariza and price look good.

We've seen Price as a starting PG. I'm not a fan. Granted, the bulk of his games as a starter came without Nene in the lineup, but still - if we trade Wall, priority #1 would be to find a starting-caliber PG.

Calderon knows how to work that pick. When was the last time you saw Wall use a pick like that?

Oof. Singleton's release on that J looked ugly.

Trade Wall and get another lottery pick.

BEAL!

I hate to overreact, but Beal looks like he'll be our definitive star. Not Wall. He's just a better basketball player, not just an athlete.

Ariza is on fire! Team looks so better with Wall on the bench. I think agent David Falk being at the game is making him nervous. He's making Falk look like a genius :lol:

I think there is a distinct possibility that the improved play everyone wants to attribute to Wall actually has as much if not more to do with Ariza and Okafor playing out of their minds.

Beal with another great half.

The sky is not falling on Wall. He's having a bad game, but consider how much better our team has been since he returned. Lets give him another year - I'm guessing we see improvement.

Theres many teams in the Nba, good playoff teams where a stud pg is not a priority or problem (knicks,heat,grizzlies etc). I think if you build around, you would be able to get by with price.

I hate to agree with you but you are right. Beal is looking like the clear cut face of the franchise. Wall is looking lost in transition. And his attitude on the bench is appalling. I've been one of the biggest Wall supporters since day 1 but I can't defend his performance or attitude tonight.
