Kosher Ham Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yeah with all this Lakers/Paul stuff, Kosher is due to try to make himself feel like less of a douche for being a bandwagon-jumping, little...I'll stop there. Yeah you probably should. Get it through your thick skull. I have never liked the Bullets. Never liked the Wizards never will. They have to have a bandwagon to be on before someone jumps off of it. The Bullets/Wizards have suffered through mediocrity for pretty much YOUR entire life. I was in DC when they won a championship and were relevant. Been to plenty of games at the Cap Centre and MCI when it opened was walking distance from my house. I was simply never a fan of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 gross. he doesnt do ****. id rather have tyson chandler chandler and mcgee would be a pretty sweet tandem...alley-oops all day from Wall Half-court offense would suffer though. They got like 3 offensive moves between them (inlcuding McGee free throw sky hook :doh:) Turiaf is a high energy big body to eat some minutes if one our bigs gets into foul trouble. Probably doesn't hurt to have him helping Seraphin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiCkSoULjA Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) It looks like we are rolling with the same team as last year for the most part. We sucked last year but towards the end of the year we were much more competitive so with Wall's progession and the team jells more I think we can win 10 more games in this shorten season. Looking at the training camp videos on washingtonwizards.com which don't show much but at least we have something too look at that previews our team. Wall is pushing the pace at a insane rate, Crawford and Mack look very good. Everyone looks like they are in great shape, Blatche looks like he finally developed a few muscles, Saraphin looks like he's toned up and Booker looks like a brick wall. The ball movement looked great Blatche made some great passes from the post, passing is a strength for him when he does pass which he don't do enough. I am expecting John Wall too average at least 18 and 10 this year I want the ball in his hands more and run through him almost entirely and let him decide what he wants too do with the ball not passing too Nick Young and Blatche so earily in the shot clock. Any news on Nick Young? did we or anybody make any offers Edited December 10, 2011 by SiCkSoULjA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I think Ted views this half season as an extended pre-season/training camp for young guys to get all the minutes they can. Then after the season he'll probably replace Flip with a coach who's better suited for a younger team. You'd have to think they are going to add a top 5 draft pick.

RonArtest15 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 gross. he doesnt do ****. id rather have tyson chandler chandler and mcgee would be a pretty sweet tandem...alley-oops all day from Wall Of course you'd rather have Tyson Chandler in comparison to Turiaf. However, you're (along with everyone else) is going to be laughing at the contract he gets in a matter of days. He's a good player, but he's going to be SEVERELY overpaid by the Knicks. Turiaf is a high-energy guy....he's a good guy and hopefully some of his professionalism will rub off on Blatche and McGee. Also, he can mentor Seraphin. I'm not expecting much, if anything from Turiaf. He'll play 10-15 minutes of high-energy basketball. Good guy to have on the roster and he was cheap. No biggie.

Warhead36 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Turiaf is a good acquisition. It's only a 1 year deal and we have to spend to reach the floor. All our bigs are insanely young so we need a vet who can be a good role model for them. Plus, he speaks French so that will no doubt make Seraphin more comfortable.

No Excuses Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 My initial reaction was that Turiaf is this years version of Yi/Armstrong. That one big man who sucks so bad but is a coaches favorite for some stupid reason no one knows. After reading the reaction from Knicks fans, Warriors fans etc. it seems like Turiaf was well liked wherever he went. High energy, good for team morale, leader in the locker room and can give quality minutes if he plays 5-10 minutes every night. I like both the Roger Mason and Turiaf acquisitions. It also seems like Earl Watson will be signing here. These are all veteran players who can keep the knuckleheads in check. Also looking forward to no Yi on this roster. Worst player ever.

MonkFan8 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I've always liked Turiaf. He's a high energy guy, something that never hurts to have around. Especially with our crop of big men. Can find a video of the first training camp on the Wizards site. Fairly intense looking practice, which I like. I think Mack is going to be a perfect backup PG.

ACW Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Like having RMJ back Washington, DC – The Washington Wizards announced today that they have acquired forward/center Ronny Turiaf, a 2013 second round pick and cash considerations from the New York Knicks along with a 2012 second round pick from the Dallas Mavericks. The three-team deal also sends Tyson Chandler, the rights to Ahmad Nivins and the rights to Giorgos Printezis from Dallas to New York while the Mavericks will receive Andy Rautins from the Knicks and a 2012 protected second round pick from the Wizards.So basically we give up a protected 2nd round pick and in return get Turiaf, cash, 2012 2nd round pick and 2013 2nd round pick. Well done Grunfeld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 This is a proposal from another message board. If Leonsis has the cajones, I think he could make a bid for Howard. The key is, to get our team good enough for Howard to want to play here, kinda like how the Celtics acquired Ray Allen before wooing Garnett. Here's how to do it:1. Amnesty Lewis 2. Sign Billups, Richard Jefferson and Nick Young. 3. Trade McGee, Vesely, Mack and our 2012 1st for Howard (that offer beats Bynum and filler or Beaubois and filler that LA and Dallas would offer) Future lineup: PG Wall/Billups SG Billups/Young SF RJefferson/Singleton PF Blatche/Booker C Howard/Turiaf Deep bench: Crawford, Seraphin, Mason, Mo Evans (if we can get him for the minimum) That's a top 4 team in the East immediately, and a contender in another year once Wall is ready. Billups already knows the system. Over time, our youngsters (Crawford, Young, Singleton, Seraphin) should be ready to step in as the veterans' (Billups, Jefferson, Turiaf) contracts expire.

No Excuses Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Ernie doesn't have the cajones to pull that off. He is a wait and see GM, almost to cringe worthy extent. We had multiple opportunities to improve once we had a legitimate superstar in Gilbert and we chose to go the mediocre route instead of taking risky but high potential moves. As much as we need another lotto pick next year, becoming a playoff caliber team this year will go a long way in attracting players to play with Wall. Nobody worth a max contract will want to sign with a loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Why would Howard want to come here? Washington is a Organization that will need to start winning on its own before stars would ask for trades here. PLUS....that's the opposite of how Ted operates. Develop talent through the draft, sign free agents to fill in the edges and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Now is not the time to go out and get big name guys. We need to further develop our own guys for at least another year. We have too many unknown factors to start pushing the chips all in now. I like the idea of going out and making big deals as much as anyone but not yet, not for this team. Get a high pick in 2012, draft another star caliber player, amnesty Shard, and see what's available next summer. By the way what's the deal with Young? I haven't heard him in ANY rumors. I guess that tells you how the rest of the league feels about him eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 For veteran teams there were between options (Hamilton, Richardson etc). For younger teams, there isn't much need to throw money at him. Afflalo being a FA doesn't help him either because they are roughly the same age and teams probably view Afflalo as a better option.

Rocky21 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I really like the Turiaf pick up. He will give us a hard nose, veteran presence and we gave up nothing to get him. "I know they lost 15 games by three points or less so maybe I can help by bringing a little bit of experience, being out there, the key rebound, key stops, the key steals." Why not sign a Roger Mason? I just hope this doesn't mean we have no interest in re-signing Nick Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Bait Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm not sure what the hold up is with Young. He's losing a lot of preparation time during this shortened training camp/preseason. the hold up is he wants a multi year deal (I don't blame him) and the Wizards have not offered him one, nor has any other team. I figured his lack of interest throughout the league would enable us to give him something on the lines of a 4 year 20 million dollar deal....maybe even 25. That would be a bargain.

Or he could choose to sign the qualifying offer and become a ufa next season. Either way, it doesn't look like his contract will be a problem for us, unless some team goes crazy in the last minute.
