I think its pretty clear now that we will pick Wall so I wont talk about Turner anymore. There is only probably 1 trade that even comes close to making sense and its funny because I think both Wiz & Sixers fans will think Im crazy and neither would want it but the only one that makes sense player & money wise is our #1 to Philly for the #2 pick & Spieghts. I just love dude's game and I think him with Dray & McGee could be a frontcourt like the Lakers of the future while we would still have Gil, Turner, Thorton, Livingston, and Howard probably. The Sixers want Turner though because they love Holiday so it doesnt really matter and I think most Wiz fans hate that trade.
Now as the title says, the one thing we can count on again that will be fun is some National TV, Primetime games. Even if the Wiz had Turner & Wall close, I think they would pick Wall simply for that factor. He will put the most butts in the seats, be the best marketing tool, will make FA's want to come here, and will put us back on TV again. I like that also because I think guys play harder when they know the spotlight is really on. Im still on the keep Gil wagon, "atleast" for one year just to see how it works. He will be much easier to trade the following year anyways. For now, I think him & Wall can play together on Offense and Flip's Zone will be our main defense. I still am in the major minority to say the least in that Gil can be a real good "true PG". I think they will just split time there and whoever gets the ball will run it but this is the 1st time in forever that I feel that Gil would be fine even if Flip wanted to use him alot at the 2. I think Gil will still pass alot next year but I think he has a chip on his shoulder and a different mindset now. I think he's coming back with the mindset of being an Assassin again. Thats why I could see him coming off some screens & doing things while being unstoppable & dropping 30-40 again.
Dont get me wrong, I dont think he will hog at all or hurt us but if its there then I think he will have a more aggressive attitude next year instad of sitting back like he's been talking so much about the last couple of years. People are still sleeping on him and I just see all the media & fans dissin him for Wall but when the season is underway, everyone will feel like Gil still has alot of game, is still our best player, and he actually is a good mentor for Wall. I think even with Wall he will still end up being the most talked about player for us and I men in a good way. The best thing about it though is those 2 will get alot of easy buckets for Dray & probably McGee also. Dray's touches will drop but I think he can still put up really good numbers for the simple fact that he wont be doubled anymore and will get a ton of easy layups & open looks that he never got last year
