There's a Gary Payton Jr. and a Gary Payton II. That's the story. I don't think Gary Jr. is a player. He is from a different mother. Gary II is called the "mitten".

His college stats were phenomenal. However, he was 23 or 24 years old and still in NCAAs.long suffrin' boulez fan wrote:Gary Payton II?

Yes. At that same time Sam Cassell was better than aged Gary Payton.Kanyewest wrote:youngWizzy wrote:80sballboy wrote:

That Gary Payton is the first awful trade I remember EG making, I believe it was Ray Allen and a first for Gary Payton and Desmond Mason.

Beal, Porter, and Sato are pure effort ballers. Bryant is quite a find.
Wow...didn't see this coming.

EG's lousy management might be salvaged if we can end up trading Morris and Ariza at the deadline for $6M in cap relief and a couple of 2nd round picks, and still make the playoffs.
Morris for Thabo plus Ariza for KCP and two 2nd round picks should do the trick. I'd prefer to wait until the Trade Deadline though. Ride Ariza for as long as we can.

I might be wrong about this, but NO TEAM IN THE EAST IS A LOCK.80sballboy wrote:nate33 wrote:Chocolate City Jordanaire wrote:I'm liking the team again, now.

If they beat Golden State, there is zero chance of any significant trades. Maybe Morris. They are all in but I'm not. Ariza has been a nice addition but he's not coming back next season for the MLE or whatever we can afford. So I guess get used to the status quo next year and a one-and-done first-round exit. Now if we started the year with Ariza (without some others) with or without Wall, maybe this would be a different story and we'd be talking about trying to get in the top 4. A healthy Otto doesn't hurt either, whether he's starting or coming off the bench.

His G league stats, also stat-stuffed.
--GPII, Mcrae, Randle, Robinso. Dekker, and Bryant are ALL POSITIVE ADDITIONS. The energy and athleticism that the Wizards have now is much better!
--From the box score I see Satoransky led the team in MINUTES at 38.
Washington not only will make the playoffs, they also will be a tough out. They are BETTER THAN BEFORE...
Period.
