OK....here's my "I feel sorry for Toronto because they have no pics" trade idea;
Wizards trade #3 pick, Treva Ariza, and Jan Vesely
Toronto trades Jonas Valanciunas, and Landry Fields.

Seeing in the Wall appreciation thread that he's 210 lbs, I gotta go back to the idea of teaming him with a cheap under-sized 2 (as a backup to Beal) - since those types don't fit with most other teams. Marcus Denmon came to mind. The Spurs have his rights - I think he played in France last season. Maybe the Wiz can get him for a 2nd rounder. I don't see him fitting in with SA. He's a very good player - just small for a 2.

...or Seth Curry.

The only problem is that when the backup SG plays, he may be playing alongside the backup PG rather than Wall.

Just woke up super early over here prepping for tomorrow; came across a tweet and too groggy to find the Yo, Ariza thread.

So, I think Ariza is eligible for draft night trades now.

Deeptu, remind me where here is -- somewhere in Asia?

. Nah, the spurs will bring him over when someone like the Wizards overlays Gary Neal.

I have taught Engrish previously, though more on a lark than anything (met the misses at an English club, as it happens).

Originally, I was out here to run an export business, but am now doing fundraising proposal writing and general utility work for an NGO in the world of women's enterprise development (on average, the women in a good number of developing countries are much more together than the men; this became quite apparent with the export business - "Deeptu, can you forward me next week's wages so I can score some locally brewed banana whiskey and soil myself?").

I'm no expert in the field and am more doing the nuts and bolts work from a generalist perspective, so lots of editing, writing, economic research and then layout work with Adobe inDesign. It seems that half my work is to make sure that someone doesn't try and slip the word "and" into a sentence three or four times.

Will B. actually joined the State Department and shakes hands and kisses babies under the umbra of our drone flotilla.

Mrs. Fish: "What are you laughing at?"

"Deeptu, can you forward me next week's wages so I can score some locally brewed banana whiskey and soil myself?"

In the interests of historical accuracy, it should be noted that I skewed that for color purposes as banana whiskey was actually the rot gut trash those guys would have been drinking when they were broke rather than flush with next weeks wages (the most exciting expensive liquor has a dead cobra in the bottle and makes dormant pimples show up as if they're under a black light; of course, even most Vietnames won't drink it).

Incidentally, second hand empirical research suggests that spending $.28 on 200 ML of generic banana whiskey under a logo that might well have been hand painted two allies over and consuming it all in short order can lead to acute stomach cramps and diarrhea in addition to whatever standard issue hangover effects you'd expect.

Yes, there's a damn good reason nobody's ever heard of banana whiskey.

There's a liquor store in Laurel, MD nearly the size of a WalMart - has pert much everything. I might head over there tonight and see if they have any banana whiskey. Got a feeling I might need some.

What can we offer for Aldridge? He wants to be in a bigger market.

I would offer Okafor, #3, and uh...I don't know. We have nothing else to really offer.

Another option: Beal, Okafor, Singleton and the #3 for Aldridge, Matthews, #9

We run with:

Wall
Matthews
Webster
Aldridge
Nene

I would try and parlay the #9 and Ariza for Illyasova. We would be set in the frontcourt for the next few years. Maybe add a shotblocker.

Hell no we not trading Beal.

For Aldridge? I'd trade the #3 and anyone besides Wall/Beal.

keynote · Post #18 » by **keynote** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 2:32 pm

Agreed. Aldridge would be a nice fit w/ Wall and Beal. If Ernie can get that done, I'd be pleased as punch.

keynote · Post #19 » by **keynote** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 2:34 pm

In fact: is there a way to package #3 with our 2014 pick (by completing the trade after the draft), or would we have to include our 2015 pick instead?

I believe if we make the pick (for them) you're able to do that, but I could be wrong. I don't think it's enough though to get it done.
