Thabo off the bench wouldn't be terrible. Kinda scared of the potential contact numbers, though.

The Monroe sighting is definitely unexpected. Maybe they will try to do a sign and trade for Ariza? Detroit does need a wing. Not sure why Trevor would pick Detroit, though. Unless they grossly overpaid.

But is Monroe a PF?

I find it hard to believe Monroe is there to just watch a Mystics game.

Sefolosha is garbage.

WTF is Ernie thinking? He better not waste the MLE on that bum.

WHY would we want Thabo? He's a solid defender, but just play Porter if Ariza is too pricey. This team's featish with Vets is infuriating.


I know I've been the harshest Porter critic, but PLAY the Kid!

Monroe hangs around Verizon Center a lot. No news there.

Thabo is imo useless on this team, he doesn't have much of an offensive game anymore and his defense has fallen off. I'd rather bring in another shooter/balllhandler.

Sefolosha's wife is a dimepiece though, so there's that.

Losing interest...Thabo can kick rocks. What is Monroe doing? Somebody stalk him.

True, but maybe the guy is just a basketball fan. Let's hope there's something else going on...

Sign and trade for Monroe with Ariza would be awesome!!! Then I'll be super happy this summer =)

Folks need to relax. Two dudes who have agents in town can't attend a basketball game without people going crazy? Don't make too much of it

If the Wizards got Monrow here somehow, I would actually give Ernie some props.

But Sefolosha shouldn't have even been allowed in the building.

Hey Rico, it would be bad if Sefolosha was on this team...even for the minimum. That means he's taking someone's minutes. More than likely Porter's.

The dots have been connected. Thabo Sefolosha has indeed met with the #wizards, source confirms. WAS covering bases in case Ariza leaves

My prediction is Ariza, Gortat, and Nene will all be gone by the trade deadline, their contracts used to acquire a new and much younger frontline of Chandler, Anderson, and Monroe.

Then I awake and look around me, at four grey walls that surround me, and I realize, yes, I was only dreaming.

EDIT: Actually, keep Gortat, and call the frontline The Three Whize Men.

I'm sure greg was visited by management and I'm almost sure there had to be some talks there, Unless hes banging one of the mystics. then maybe he was just there for the game. lol
