Get a Singleton or Jeffers to contribute in a time of need, and it's gravy. And every now and then you find an Anthony Mason or John Starks. But to be good, a team needs some do-everything nightly guys. Wiz don't have any.


Washington remarkably has no one who can grab a defensive rebound, drive the length of the court, and either drive and finish or dish for an assist. The Wizards desperately need athletes and finishers who are skilled.

Shabazz Muhammed might have a few holes in his game but he clearly possesses something the Wizards don't have.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Organization deserves it's fate.
Build your team w/5 shooters using P. Pierce Form deeply bent hips and lower back arch at same time b4 rising into shot. Elbow never pointing to the ground! Good teams have an engine player that shoot volume (2000 full season) at 50 percent.Large Hands

That is true but not because they cut a guy who sucked.

Or it is in that it possibly deserves to be marginally improved.

Still more teams around to learn that Livingston is a nice guy without much game.

We have to many of those already. We could afford to banish one.

We have stock piled nice quiet guys who are role players.

Okafor, Trevor A, Trevor B, Kevin, Ves, Martin, Mack, C Singleton

They need to put in some serious work to convert Kevin S into someone more dominant. He is young and he does have a big personality. I could see him growing a set as he gets older and learns. Right now it is more soft huggy bearish and we need him to be more like "I will break you."

Not over concerned with Mack since he is only a back up PG in a group of Wall, Crawford and AJ Price.

But Okafor, Trevor A, Trevor B, Ves, Martin and C Singleton. Not enough type A personality there. They need to trade a good chunk of that away for players with a pulse.

This team is in desperate need of a trade or some way to get some of these players off the team moving forward. They aren't cancers or useless, they just aren't ballers.

The rest need to be put on the trading blocks. All of them don't have to go but 3/4 do.
