Grunfeld: You Must ‘Pay Your Dues’ Before Becoming Contenders


http://washington.cbslocal.com/2014/04/03/grunfeld-you-must-pay-your-dues-before-becoming-contenders/

We could have paid our dues earlier had we a competent FO...but hey some people just like slurpin up the kool aid.

I consider this closer to a Slurpee than Kool-Aid. Kool-Aid is kind of water downed sugar. This one is just plain cold blooded shell game - so Slurpee.

Playoffs game 1. Proving doubters wrong

40% of your posts are in this thread, your baby. Post somewhere else. Try "Woo. (Wiz win: get happy!)" because, you know, you should be happy that they won. Period. Quit tarnishing the Wizards victory with all your "It's all about meeeeee……………….."

Playoffs game 1. Proving doubters wrong

It has been said over and over again, but EG traded away long term assets for short term gain. The "doubters" appreciate the success in the short term, but are worried about how EG's many mistakes and bad short term strategy are going to negatively affect the Wizards in the long term. This win has not proved the "doubters" wrong in any way. You are either too stupid to get this, or you just don't care that some fans want long term success as well as short term success.

What say's that he isn't setting us up for short term and long term success? Beal is 20. Wall is 23. Ariza is 28 and Gortat is 30. Resigning Ariza and Gortat will most likely be a priority. That is a good starting core right there and Wall and Beal will only get better. Nene is not in the long term plans but a free agent signing is out of the question.

Otto Porter is showing some flashes so we can't call him a bust just yet. Our team has a mixture of young players and veterans. I like the roster mix.

And I am merely saying that many of the moves Grunfeld has made, the fans/board had doubt. Especially the Andre Miller trade wondering why sign this old guy and how effective he could be. The true value of Nene was apparent last night as well. No one misses Javale Mcgee. If you doubt that trade, you are delusional. This team is well put together and I can actually see us sweeping the Bulls. Folks on other forums and fans of other teams say they wouldn't be surprised to make it to the ECF. Why can't our fans jump on board with the excitement?

Ariza's at least 13. Don't you remember that whole birth certificate flap?

Ha my fault, forgot to put the 2 in front of the 8!

A playoff win proves doubters wrong?

Rose was lost for the year and they traded away Deng, their leading scorer, for nothing to clear capspace.

Where would the Wizards be if they lost Wall for the season and traded Nene for capspace?

Just a suggestion.

Let this thread go until after the playoffs or at least until after a series.

There will be plenty of time to rub nose in stinky stuff later. Right now winning games is a time to celebrate and build fandom. Digging this thread up after every win and others digging up the fire EG after every lose doesn't do much in the way of doing that. We are in the playoff. We just stole game 1. That awesome stuff. Use it as an opportunity to make some friends and unit the board, not divide it.

I suggest both side call a truce on the fire or hire EG threads for the next few games. Hopefully for longer like the end of the series or playoffs.

If they win the series, EG will very likely be back and Randy will very likely get retained. Knowing that, do we want to focus on that right then, or be talking about the Wizards going into round two and maybe to the ECF ?

I get that you want to rub some noises in it because of the tone of the nah sayers over such an extended period of time, but there will be plenty of time for that later if they keep winning. Emotions will be really high right now. Not a good time to poke the bee hive. Doubter will doubt until they team overachieves over an extended period of time. One win isn't going to change their minds. Hell, even winning a series might not do that. It might take two series. And even then who knows.

Point is, this is a time to be a fan and unit this board that can too often be divided and argumentative.

I'm going to try to do my part to help. Hope others pitch in.

Just my two cents.

That is complete BS. I doubt you can find anyone wondering why the Wizards would trade for Andre Miller. Nearly everyone on this board was desperate to get rid of Maynor, and most saw the value in Miller.

I could rehash all of EG mistakes, but it is pointless, you refuse to respect that EG's "doubters" have many valid complaints about his ability to make smart decisions. His doubters want someone better who can draft better, and who can make better long term decisions than EG has made.

Why on earth would he do that ... he is trolling - Troll: a troll is someone who posts a message in the hope of attracting hostile responses, or "flames."

He will continue to do so... and he is doing it in a very clever way.

[TGW]

This troll is clearly jinxing the Wizards with his tactics.

I call for a lifetime ban.

The Chicago Bulls are excited to own the 16th and 19th overall picks in the 2014 NBA Draft.

“Yeah, because picks are invaluable,’’ Gar Forman said Sunday. “You’re capable of getting a couple of players that can help your team, and under the new CBA, you’re getting guys that are locked in contractually at very reasonable contracts. So in building a team, we’ve seen that draft picks are of extreme importance.’’

So the Bulls could have a healthy Rose next year, Mirotic (sp) might come over, they might be able to sign a max fa after amnestying Boozer and they have two first round picks.

The Wizards on the other hand......

Yet who is keeping this hostility going? I didn't see Milli chiming in with more of the same.

How about a truce for now. Lets enjoy the playoffs.

And for the love of God TGW. Stop calling for people to get ban.

Can I also add to give this thread a rest after a win. Dude your a moron constantly trolling and looking for responses while most of us are trying to enjoy the win. Get over your thread and give it a rest cause you only post here and your other pointless trolling threads. Give it a playoff rest and come back to it when the season is over. If Ariza and Gortat don't re-sign here Im going to s*** all over this thread in the offseason.

[DCZards]

If Ariza and Gortat don't re-sign here Im going to s*** all over this thread in the offseason.

...and if they do re-sign?

I'll cry then s*** all over this thread cause I think we'd make a mistake and I don't think we should re-sign either. I'd hope to S&T both, I don't want Gortat in the back side of his prime (Going through that with Nene now) and I don't want Ariza after signing a deal (saw what happen in Houston, after he got the money he sucked bad in Hou and NO) unless Webster gets the gate.

Too funny, only keep the thread going when it serves your purpose
