SuperBash Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Gary Neal joins the crew. Another shooter which is greatly needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins199021 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Neal is good on the perimeter with a passing team, luckily we have wall. Good signing, basically no risk for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Love this pick up. Not a great player and might seem relatively minor but if you watched the wizards last season you saw the stretch where we suddenly had no one that could hit a shot. Neal will help that. Suddenly the bench has a little punch to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 He's been pretty bad for the last two years. I'm extremely ambivalent to this signing. Seems like at best he'll be Rasual Butler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 David AldridgeVerified account@daldridgetnt Neal wanted the flexibility of a short deal combined with the chance to play back home (Baltimore) with Wall and Beal. David Aldridge @daldridgetnt 54m54 minutes ago Wizards are a David West commitment away from an extremely productive week filling out their rotation despite losing Pierce's heroics. David Aldridge @daldridgetnt 24m24 minutes ago Hibbert or Nene seems like the only reasonable fallback for Clippers in wake of losing Jordan.

CRobi21 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) LAC trading for Nene to take DAJ's spot, and West signing here would make for a damn good offseason so far. Along with the Dudley and Neal additions. Edited July 3, 2015 by STBonecrusher21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian WojnarowskiVerified account@WojYahooNBA Gary Neal's deal with Wiz gets him onto a contender where his shooting has shown to have terrific value -- and back into market next year.

Going Commando Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Why did Pierce rush into the decision to leave? Imagine if he had come back, plus we add Dudley, Neal, and maybe West. While only losing Seraphin. Would have had one of the best ten man groups in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 He didn't rush into it, he just wanted to go home. Nothing wrong with that. It was his friendship with Doc and Sam Cassell that did it. I wish we had never let Cassell go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Also, can we take a minute to acknowledge how special it is that we are legitimately competing with the San Antonio Spurs for a free agent? And nobody is laughing at us. This is truly a great time to be a Wizards fan. I still can't get over the fact that players hungry to win actually think about us. John Wall deserves a statue. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 David West on a 1 year deal would be great. I think adding him would legitimately make us the 2nd best team in the East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are hoping Nene can replace Jordan... lol It's sad that the NBA perceives D.C. as a small market. That is how F'd up the NBA is True but remember, the theme of this offseason has been that players don't give a damn about market size. LA and NYC have found their usual "and you get to live here!" sales pitch almost entirely ineffective. ESPN is despairing over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 How exactly are they going to add either? They don't have any money and they don't have any trade assets. I'd trade them Nene, but I don't see how they can do it. Only thing I can think of is they would have to get a huge TPE back from losing DeAndre Jordan. They really got caught with their pants down in losing Jordan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I doubt Clippers are really that desperate to trade for Nene, but if they are, anybody ya'll would trade him to LA for? Our just get a future second round pick and get out of there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how F'd up the NBA is The Bullets/Wizards did it partially to themselves too. 80s and 90s filled with poor management in the earlier ESPN age. Finally they appear to be building a foundation with their own guys. No quick fix stuff. Even adding Durant would be with Wall/Beal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Interesting story about David West when he was at Xavier: There was a fight in the halls of the Robins Center after a Richmond-Xavier game in 2002, two years before I was a freshman at Richmond. One of the seniors who led the student section fan group when I was a freshman told me the fight started because his friend kept heckling West, calling him soft, and West went after him in the tunnel after the game. Then it spiraled into a brawl involving both teams and their coaching staffs. LOL. I never knew if that was true, so I just went searching on the internet and found out the fight did happen: http://enquirer.com/xavier/2003/01/31/Xavier31.html Doesn't say who started it though. But I want to believe it was the Richmond student heckling him. Apparently West hated being called soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Jorge CastilloVerified account@jorgeccastillo #Wizards' goal this summer was to add pieces to become more versatile without limiting future $ flexibility. Dudley/Neal additions do that. J. Michael @JMichaelCSN Would Wizards consider sign-and-trade for Kevin Seraphin?

Skins199021 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Not really sure what Nene's market would be. Him being productive and in the last year of a big deal could make him attractive. I'd like to get West on a 1 year deal. Trade Nene. Sign one of C.J. Watson/Aaron Brooks, and Sign one of Seraphin/Biyombo. Call it an offseason.

Going Commando Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Problem with dealing Nene if we don't get West is then we don't have a starting caliber PF any more. And really only Humphries under contract. You can't deal Nene without a rock solid plan to replace him. Otherwise, we are best off keeping him. We don't really need the cap space this summer, and he's an expiring. Most of what we'd save from dumping him would have to be spent replacing him.

Skins199021 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I deal him if we get West, if not yeah keep him. He is gone after next season one way or another. West is older, but better, and spaces the floor a bit more, and rebounds better, and is more likely not to get injured for periods of time, but so is just about anyone when comparing them to Nene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
