If my math is right, they combined for infinity times as many points as Ricky Rubio.

True. LeBron didn't play, so Cle's starting SF was Jawad freakin' Williams...

No no no, now that Miller is on a different team he will actually take open shots and become a great scorer again.

If it makes anyone feel any better, Craig Smith fouled out with only 2 points in 20 minutes and Telfair didn't play for the clippers.

mike miller 24 points 5 for 5 from 3sss randy foye, 21, 9 for 11 from the floor ino its preaseason that just tell you the depth wizards have now the 2 guys they brong in scoring over 20 points. i love yall now yall gave us 2 really good players. too guys who who can be teams key starters in the nba are role players for a stack wiz team. i expect mike miller to start for wizards thow. randy foye seem to score easily when he wants too he have some good floaters and his jump shot look sharp so far as i been watching him he said he improved on his game alot he think he gonna have his best year with us i hope so :D

Mmm. I'm just weary of hearing what a huge mistake was made in trading them every single time Miller and/or Foye have a decent game.

Good luck to both of them, but barring some dramatic transformation by either player into superstardom, I'm still fine with where we're moving.

yeah, Wiz fan here and I love the trade but I also think it was a great trade for you guys. Basicaly both teams got what they wanted. So far Miller is like the most popular guy in D.C. Even when he's had a bad or subpar game, its been a great game because everyone loves the way he hustles. We havent had that. He goes after every board, closes out fast on every shooter, is passing awesome, is unselfish, and has mad handles. Still, he's not going to dominate the stat sheet on most nights but I think his impact will be 5x bigger than his stats are. We just have so many guys that he's not going to produce like that.

Foye is kind of on the other side right now in our area. Alot of guys are weary of him and even when he plays great, alot of people dont like it because he's the PG but he only does things for himself. I love him though and I told everyone that they are overreacting from the standpoint that Gil is our PG and will play 36-38mpg which only leaves 10-12 for Foye to run the point and the rest of the time he will be beside Gil at the 2. I also said that those 10-12min wont be bad because unlike the Preseason, he will be playing with pretty much all vets so it will make it easier on him and he probably will have MIller or Stevenson beside him who are both have some PG skills in them

No regrets Shrink, Just a fan of the game and that was a pretty nice evening for the duo. It's nice when after your team aquires a couple of new players they go off like that, Great for the fans.

I think Flip's system and influence will help them big time. I have been a fan of the hawk-based offense since I was in high school. (I coach it now as well) and it should help both of those players.
