Wizards Round Table discussion

I hope it's okay if I post this in here, but I thought some of you would be interested. We held a Wizards Round Table discussion today with some top Wizards writers/bloggers:

Clinton Yates — Sports Editor of Washington Post Express
Kyle Weidie — Truthaboutit.net and ESPN TrueHoops Network
Jack Whitacre — Bullets Forever
Asad — Wizards Extreme
I also threw myself in there because it's my site.

I wanted to include WizardsKev in the discussion, but I couldn't find any contact information for him. Kev, if you're out there, send an e-mail to me at dcprosportsreport@gmail.com because we'd love to have you for the next one.

Anyway, I asked the guys about the draft, free agency, Gilbert, and even got in something about the NBA Finals and where Lebron will be next season.

If you're interested, read it here: Wizards Round Table.

Excellent point from Thomas Threlkeld:

"That said, if some team misses out on the big names in free agency and is dying to get a big name to satisfy the local fan base and makes an unexpectedly fair offer for Gil, the Wizards shouldn’t be afraid to take it."

I'd watch a podcast if you promise to have everyone join in:

We're Knights of the Round Table,
We dance when ere we're able,
We do routines and chorus scenes
With footwork impeccable.
We dine well here in Camelot,
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.
We're Knights of the Round Table,
Our show are formidable,
But many times, we're given rhymes
That are quite unsingable.
We're Opera mad in Camelot,
We sing from the diaphragm
a looooooot.
In war we're tough and able,
Quite indefatigable,
Between our quests we sequin vests,
And impersonate Clark Gable.
It's a busy life in Camelot,
I have to push the pram a lot.

Notice that none of them mentioned the BOYD strategy in answering question 5. They need to be edumacated by reading our posts! Overall, they answered the questions well - but didn't show a lot of creativity. Kev likely would have added some of that.

Honestly, there were some pretty bad ideas in there.

I am going to agree that some of the ideas were weak and far-fetched. Why would Josh Howard stay in DC for 5-8 million a year when another team probably better than the Wiz will offer him just that. Realistically it doesn't seem wise or feasible to retain any of the free agents at this point.

I also think that if a team offers expirings more or less for Arenas now...you have to take it...otherwise you wait until Feb. I just see that Ricky D-James thing with Arenas-Wall more than I see them really complemeting one another.
