McGee

[DaRealHibachi]

You Washington fans think Daye and a conditional 1st round pick from Det is not enough for McGee? Maybe it should be Stuck, Prince and 3 first round picks for McGee... You guys crack me up!!!

Make it 4 picks and we might consider...

Not to be a Debby Downer, but don't we have a trade thread for this?

Austin "Defenseless" Daye? Why exactly would we want him again? The Wizards, for the first time ever that they've had that name (instead of Bullets), have started playing defense. While McGee gets lost on D, he at least swats bunches of balls, and still has enough potential that we can all hope he gets a clue a some point in the near future.

What exactly would Daye bring us?

If the condition of the pick was that it was top 1 protected, i would still feel like an idiot if i pulled the trigger.

I think Wizards fans see Daye as the second coming of ared effries. Daye is a better offensive player, but there are some similarities. If Daye came to the Wizards he would be behind Josh Howard on the depth chart, rather than being behind TMac. I don't think his value is anywhere close to McGee.

McGee for Anthony Randolph

[pancakes3]

you may have the most offensive name in all the internet, unless there's a dukeheatirish floating around out there somewhere as well...

Robin Lopez and the Suns 1st round pick conditional for JaValee McGee. ( the condition is if the Suns pick is in the top 10, then they get Orlando's 2011 1st round pick and the Suns 2011 2nd round pick)

Your thoughts?

Automated response:

According to two Western Conference executives, Wizards are gauging interest in Andray Blatche to determine if trading the skilled 6-foot-11 forward is best for the organization moving forward.

"JaVale seems very not available," one of the executives said.

No need to kick up a fuss, Hoop; I'll have your Spam. I love it! I'm having Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, baked beans, Spam, Spam, Spam and Spam!

Glad to hear that it seems the Wiz asking price is extra high for Javale. With Andray, it's a roller-coaster. With the fans booing him early on, I would have guessed he was getting closer to being traded, but with the way he stepped up during the game, I think the odds of him getting dealt went way down.

I am of course the spammer in this scenario with my response as I certainly don't begrudge anyone for seeing the wiretap and asking what it would take to get McGee. We'd be doing the same thing if the roles were reversed. But I plastered that thing all over the T&T board, so I'm spamming it out.

[Ruzious]

In that case, could I have egg, bacon, Spam and sausage - without the Spam?

Kobe is the prototype. NBA player pops with prodigee son. Son's usually better.

Luke Walton is an exception. So is Marcus Jordan (though he might make an NBA team, watch and see).

As are the Barry boys - all of 'em. And Damien Wilkins. And Pat Ewing Jr. And Danny Schayes.

Frankly, I think it's a toss-up at best as to whether the son of a famous baller will outshine his dad. Kobe and Curry are clearly better than their pops, but there aren't many more in that category. And, there are quite a few guys who were comparable to or worse than their dads in their respective primes.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar Jr. Good kid though, don't mean to criticize or anything.

[Illuminaire]

I'm not sure the Barry evaluation is as easy as looking at the stats... there were some significant era differences between when they played versus when their dad did. Eh, nah, none of them rocked the underhand freethrows... obviously they suck. =D
