Realistic Suggestions and Expectations

[WallWithTheDime]

I would like to implement a few suggestions for the Washington Wizards, as a fan of them, and also as a basketball fan.
First off, I hear a lot around town , that Wizards need some bench productivity and could use a few solid bench players
to spark positive play, the most needed position being the Point guard. With that being said I think the Wizards should
move Garret Temple to back-up SG and aquire a pure point guard from a trade deal. Perhaps trade a few players to a struggling team , that has good talent in return,
trade players that are seeing improvement, as well as get limited minutes, Like Temple, Singleton, Vesely,Ariza, or Seraphin.
Wizards need an athletic back-up who can see the court well and make good passes and can score while John Wall is out of the game like D.J Augustin. Wizards have given up on Eric Maynor thus far, so I suggest they send him to the D-League to get playing time and improvement, I don't like seeing younger players just sitting around on the bench with no chance of playing.

Another suggestion would be for Otto Porter to get more playing time and play through his early struggles and just build himself confidence and gain an opportunity to do better. Sending him to the D-League is another idea, by getting a lot of minutes in the D-League, because at times he is not playing and it just hurts his confidence. I think he should go to the D-League because he missed
the pre-season and most of the Summer League.

With all this being said the Wizards are playing magical basketball and all this is just what I would like to see.
I just think a few things should happen before the trade dead-line.

If you would like to comment on anything I say, I would like that, and if you have any ideas of your own, let me know. Thanks a lot guys.

Realistic expectations? .500 brings frustration
equals every get up with a let down
what we want is jubilation, send them off into vacation
boogie in the streets: you betta get down

I suspect we'll make the trials, if health is no denial
the Easts too weak to pose much opposition
no surprise to win a series, and I suppose I guess the theory''s
that by experience we improve our teams position

BUt then we've got expirings, hirings or firings
--do we keep a losing GM like this Grunfeld?
Ted suggests he'd be kept, 'make the playoffs', (then get swept?)
and forever stay in place like Abe to Unseld.

Cap space we have a waiting, but what we're finding frusterating
is we'd spend it all to keep Gortat/Ariza
Is that enough to earn a chip? or is that a sinking ship?
baling water so hard you have a seizure.

The object keep in mind, is not to fall behind
but something sounds so simple that it's lame
sounds so easy to achieve, all you need to do's believe:
make the playoffs, then win your final game

Realistic expectations? Like I said: frustration
we're not stacked enough to suffer any setbacks
Make the playoffs that's no given, but while those hopes are yet a-livin'
the question's 'sure we make it: can we _get_ back?'

While Johnny's bright and deft and agile, Nene's one who's proven fragile
but seemingly cannot be replaced
sure depth and talent, skill-- we need them all, else we'll be killed
and this year's playoffs are all we'll ever taste.

I spose I guess you'd call it greedy, I worry less bout playoff seeding
but is this all we're gonna get now, ever ever?
and what's it cost us to achieve it? does it vanish, can we believe it?
I want a squad that wins the final game _forever_.

I don't know what do you eat
your poem is bitter-sweet.

My expectations? I hope after finals in June Ted
will see Martell's victorious photobomb-bobblehead
