Maybe he believes in "The Secret" or in the so called Law of Attraction. I know many business owners that are like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) http://espn.go.com/nba/dailydime/_/page/dime-120203-04/nba-all-star-reserve-picks The Wizards have been working hard to move disappointing forward Andray Blatche, but a calf injury expected to sideline the favorite target of D.C. boobirds for three to five weeks won't make it any easier.Sources close to the situation say that the Wizards had been trying to engage Charlotte on a Blatche-for-Tyrus Thomas swap. The Wizards would naturally prefer Boris Diaw and his expiring contract -- with the bonus of knowing that Diaw's passing eye could only give the wild Wiz a much-needed boost to their basketball IQ -- but the ever-thrifty Bobcats aren't about to take on the remaining three years (worth nearly $23 million) on Blatche's contract if Thomas' similarly hefty deal isn't headed the other way. I'd rather just use the amnesty on Blatche as opposed to bringing back Thomas. Edited February 3, 2012 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'd rather just use the amnesty on Blatche as opposed to bringing back Thomas. According to rotoworld contract details: Tyrus Thomas 2011-12: $7,305,785. 2012-13: $8,000,000. 2013-14: $8,694,215. 2014-15: $9,388,430. 2014-15: UFA Andray Blatche 2011-12: $6,442,083. 2012-13: $7,118,502. 2013-14: $7,794,921. 2014-15: $8,471,339. 2015-16: UFA Why would we make this trade? Thomas is more expensive and his contract is just as long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Bait Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 for some odd reason I remember seeing Tyrus play and thinking he was good (maybe it was because he was going against Antawn Jamison). Stats don't tell the whole story, but I'd have a hard time trading for a career 7-5 guy who isn't efficient at anything. I just assume amnesty Blatche or trade him for a 2nd round pick.

StillUnknown Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I had the exact same reaction when I looked at his stat sheet. He's young, long, athletic, with no discernible offensive skill outside of dunking............he will fight right in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Skins Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Man, how can I judge Wall when our team plain sucks? I mean I really feel for him. I don't care what people say I think Harrison Barnes is the best option for this team and another shooter would be nice in the second. ---------- Post added February-3rd-2012 at 07:37 PM ---------- http://www.csnwashington.com/blog/wizards-talk/post/Wiz-account-for-themselves?blockID=644234&feedID=6458&awid=7371189457291942610-835http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/wizards/randy-wittmans-message-of-accountability-coming-across-to-wizards/2012/02/02/gIQATulXlQ_story.html :applause: Wittman.

mmzznnxx Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 This is how I know sports makes people crazy. There's no rational reason we should keep coming back to them, or D.C. sports in general. Yet here we are, night after night. I always tell myself it'll make being a great team again feel that much better, but on nights like this it's hard to remember that.

Thinking Skins Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Now I understand why other teams point guards have career games against wall. Our defense just sucks. I mean really? Its like anything they touch turns to gold. Its not hard to get assists when everybody's getting open shots and easy layups. ---------- Post added February-3rd-2012 at 09:21 PM ---------- This is how I know sports makes people crazy.

I always tell myself it'll make being a great team again feel that much better, but on nights like this it's hard to remember that. The sad thing is that during the Gilbert years (and yes I did enjoy those years even if it was only the first round of the playoffs), I used the Wizards to relieve my Redskins stress. Before that, I used the Terps. After that, I used the Caps. I really feel like I'm a kryptonite or this area is just cursed. All my teams suck right now. Maybe I need to expand my network to Georgetown and the Ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky for them the most ridiculously built team in the nba showed up so they could get back on the winning track. Our offense depends on Nick Young... Think about that.

Samuels Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Depressing. But hey, let's draft an athletic 7 footer with no offensive game. Problem solved. You guys fail to realize he is playing within the system at Kentucky with a bunch of gifted players. He is asked to play the block period. Go watch his video's in this link from high school. He handles the ball like a guard and hit multiple 3's off the dribble, not just spotting up. http://nbadraft.net/players/anthony-davis We won't get the first pick anyway but this kid will be a star especially defensively. I would trade Wall for him straightup in a heartbeat. Edited February 4, 2012 by Samuels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has other strengths and major potential but right now he can't shoot and has very little ability to create any offense for himself.

Possibly the worst of the top tier bigs identified so far. He has other strengths and major potential but right now he can't shoot and has very little ability to create any offense for himself. I don't care what a ragtag scouting service says half of them are hacks or college students anyway. Not sure what you guys are watching, did you watch his video's in that link I posted? A guy who can't shoot does'nt drain 3's off the dribble. Even in that link you posted his video from Kentucky look at his ability to beat his man off the dribble and handle the ball. Watch the way he moves to get position when the ball goes up. This kid is a bigtime talent that rarely comes along. He will be a defensive force, imagine as he gets older and fills out. People are failing to realize the offense at Kentucky does'nt ask him to shoot jumpers from the elbow. The kid is shooting 65%fg who cares if its dunks or putbacks obviously teams can't stop it. He only averages 7 shots a game anyway because that team is so talent ridden. The guy is putting up 13ppg 10reb 4.5blks at 18 years old on the most talent rich team in the country.

Destino Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 If he could consistently shoot that would be part of the offense, the fact that it isn't is telling. In the link I posted they show him trying to shoot and it's easy to see why they are fine without him shooting. What he did in high school doesn't matter.

Thats a random 2 min clip with missed long jump shots and a FT. To me a guy who can't shoot does'nt even attempt long jump shots especially off the dribble. This kids upside is off the charts in my eyes. Today is a great college basketball day to watch alot of the top prospects on ESPN. Sullinger and OSU is playing Wisconsin right now 4pm Barnes and UNC vs Maryland 6pm Davis and Kentucky vs South Carolina 9pm Robinson and Kansas vs Missouri- This should be a great game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
