JoeWolf990 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Ariza has to go because of Otto. Its that simple. If Ariza and Gortat are not re-signed, I would make a serious run at Bosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Ariza has to go because of Otto. Its that simple. If Ariza and Gortat are not re-signed, I would make a serious run at Bosh.  Oh...man. Bosh would be an AWESOME fit. He can stretch the floor and defend. He'd solve a lot of problems.  PJ's post got me thinking...it's probably safe to say that the season is nearing it's end for the Wizards. Where do we go from here?  Here are the Wizards salaries/contracts going forward.  If the Gilbert Arenas/Rashard Lewis trade proves anything, it's that just about ANY contract can be moved. That should be our one glimmer of hope that somone would bite on a potential deal for Nene. Obviously, we'd have to take back a terrible contract, but it's just something to consider.  Would you be up for trading Nene for Amare? I think the deal would potentially work if we don't pick up the QOs of guys like Singleton and Seraphin. I'm just thinking off hand here....  Anyways, here's the current roster:  *Nene Ariza Gortat *Beal *Wall Temple *Miller Harrington Rice Jr. *Webster *Porter Temple Gooden Singleton Seraphin Booker  * = under contract for 2014/15 (not counting QOs)  All in all, this team could look COMPLETELY different to start the season next year. I'd rather go all in on someone like Bosh who could help on both ends of the floor than to give a max deal to someone like Greg Monroe, who will never be on CB's level.  In the draft, I think we need to focus on a PG in the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Need to dump Nene on someone. Old, injured, expensive, and frankly not very productive. Doubt anyone is willing to take him though. Edited May 12, 2014 by Destino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 We hit the wall in game two and Indy started playing well again very suddenly in game two. That was the turning point. Damn. Our guys are worn out IMO. We've got the talent to hang with Indy but we're done. Ariza is basically the only one who ever made it this deep into a season and it shows. I think it's really shown with Wall, his shot has fallen apart. I really really wanted to make it to the ECF, and we would have if we had gotten Atlanta IMO. And I think we could have possibly taken two off Miami too. But winning a series is a huge positive. We got our first taste of being a good team. Started to believe in ourselves.

We sure as hell didn't need you before the playoff run, and we sure as hell don't need you now. This squad deserves better than some of the fickle *** people who come out of the woodwork ONLY when things are going good. Edited May 13, 2014 by RonArtest15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 This season, after how it started and the recent history, has already been a ringing success.  I personally want to see them force a game 7, just so DC fans can see a home win in round 2 for the first time since 1979. But after they clinched, I was satisfied with progress. Winning round 1 and game 1 of round 2 is all gravy. Wall and Beal gotta take their playoff lumps like everybody else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Need to dump Nene on someone. Old, injured, expensive, and frankly not very productive. Doubt anyone is willing to take him though. Â Need to find a contract that's equally worse but perhaps for a player who is more useful to us. Ilyasova from the Bucks is one player. His contract is cheaper than Nene but runs an extra year so maybe we can take him on. He would be really useful for this team as a stretch 4 who shoots >40% from 3 and can rebound.

Captain James Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Man you guys are amazing. One week everybody's awesome. Then we play the #1 seed and now everyone sucks. Â We knew going in that this team was not championship material. I think making the 2nd round has us all looking at the Wiz as better than they are. Are you talking about the Wizards or the Nationals? lmao. Possibly interchangeable at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Need to play small ball tonight. I would actually prefer to see Gortat off the bench. Force Hibbert to leave the paint to free up Wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chachie Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Competent coaching and we win last night. Â Â LOL Competent coaching as in, "Leave the starters on the pine for the entire 2nd half?" Â I knew down to my bones that the starters were completely beaten in game 4. I kept screaming, "They'll blow this lead! Put the bench back in!" What happened? The starters blew TWO significant leads. Oy vey. We'll win tonight because the Pacers don't need this game. They are way better than us but they don't have the killer instinct of the Heat or the west coast teams. They'll never go all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll never go all the way.  How about not sitting the most productive lineup the entire 3rd quarter or not calling a SINGLE TIMEOUT in the entire time that our 19 point lead eroded.  Roster management killed us.  Anyway, I hope Wittman has learned we are not going to win by playing Indy how we played Chicago. Gotta go small and make Hibbert irrelevant like ATL did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearrock Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Nothing to lose at this point. Go small, create spacing, go out there and just play ball. When the fall is all there is left, it matters very much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticksboi05 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Looks like Wall is going to play like a little boy again. Alright, someone else will have to make up. Hope Andre Miller came ready to play.  How many times is he going to let George Hill strip him? It's George Hill, not Gary Payton.
