CrypticVillain Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 That is one thing I don't understand. Ted keeps talking about the Wizards are in rebuild mode and whatnot, but why do we still have the same GM around that got us in the mess in the first place. As an owner, I feel that if you go into rebuild mode, you need to purge the whole staff. Say what you want about Snyder, he finally realized that and the results are looking to be fine. Blow the whole thing up and start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 If they let McGee walk, they better use the money to significantly upgrade one of the other positions. Ted is somehow managing to make Abe Pollin look like Dan Snyder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I like Ted and I think his plan in theory is solid. The problem is the young players we have decided to go with are, for the most part, terrible. They may have some talent sure but there are too many knuckleheads in the group. When you throw out nothing but a bunch of kids you have a much better chance of being the Clippers the last 20 years then you are of being the Thunder. This team needs to consolidate some of it's youth and make trades like the Celtics did to get Allen and Pierce or the Clippers did to get Paul.

Going Commando Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 MKG has already said he's going back.as long as we can come out of the draft with either The Unibrow or T.Robinson, I'm good. I hope he changes his mind. If not, it's already starting. If he goes back doesn't it seem likely Davis would too? Those are the two best players in the class. I can see a lot of these guys going back leaving a depleted class just like last year, we'll get screwed by the lottery again picking just out of reach of Robinson, and come draft day we'll be talking ourselves into losers like Perry Jones or Andre Drummond because of their measurables and holding our noses over the fact that their teams always massively underachieved. If all of the top guys stay in school and we end up picking fifth or later again, I'd probably be open to trading the pick for a veteran. At that point, the pick would pretty much be worthless to us. ---------- Post added March-2nd-2012 at 10:48 AM ---------- I like Ted and I think his plan in theory is solid.

Ted's players are fine. Booker, Wall, Vesely, Singleton, Seraphin, Mack aren't knuckleheads and they actually seem form the core of a decent team once they transition from prospects to veterans. Crawford too, forgot about him. The knucklheads are the guys taken before Ted got here: Blatche, McGee, Young. We rely on them because we're young and have no other serious options at their positions, and in Blatche's case, we've got a long term salary commitment. We have to put a competitive team on the floor in the meantime during the years we will have to wait for our young core to mature which has necessitated the use of knuckleheads. Who else can we get that's better? That's what it always comes down to in the end. You can only addition by subtraction so much. Man I wish our team had the free agent appeal that the Lakers and Knicks have. Think of how much easier it would be to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKG by most accounts is different kind of kid in his makeup, all in a positive way, but different than most just the same. Davis is building consensus as the #1 overall pick, I just don't see him going back. I don't see a mass exodus of top prospects going back like last year.

Bummer. Surprising to see Afflalo as the worst and a lot of big names in the bottom 50. Edited March 2, 2012 by Destino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Bait Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I just turned the game on (been watching the Carolina/Duke game...or should I say lack there of) I see 7 day dray is back...how did he look in limited action?

SuperBash Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) Barnes is not a streaky shooter. He is straight up lethal. Yeah he is more on the pure side and he can finish at the rim while running with Wall, unlike people on this team. Save Vesely occasionally like tonight.

I'm hoping he plays out of his mind so we can trade him for someone's trade exception. LA has a trade exception that would work....I'll trade them Blatche and my second round pick for the exception just to dump his salary. Then we can amnesty Rashard and have about 45 million in cap room this offseason to overpay Gordon/Batum/Anderson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Cavs starters are beating our starters, our bench is keeping us in the game. Mason & Evans another good half shooting, Vesely very active on defense and couple of nice slams (the only shot he's currently capable of making ).

Destino Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) Blatche took all of Seraphins minutes and most of Bookers. Surprisingly has only 2 shot attempts and 4 assists. Wall needs to stop his horrible decision making. He's as likely to drive blindly into back peddling players on a one man break as do anything good. Other teams have figured out and just give ground and let him miss. When he doesn't have the ball he really like to stand at the top of the arc and watch. I blame that last thing on the dreadful offense. Edited March 4, 2012 by Destino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
