JoeWolf990 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Mitch Richmond Part II? Old and small for young and big? Well, it worked out last timeyou comparing Jan Vesely to Chris Webber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 No, but what if he's Ben Wallace? Got to admit the Wizard's scrap heap has become really, really productive elsewhere. Ben Wallace showed legit flashes in his time here. Jan, God bless him, hasn't shown 10% of what Wallace did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm going to the game tomorrow night against the....chuckle.....Pelicans. The only team in the NBA with a dumber name than Wizards. I'm curious to see how much Miller plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I really hope that Porter makes the same strides in his development in his 2nd year like Tayshaun Prince did. This team can't afford to have another top-10 pick ending up being a bust. Next year, they have to do everything possible to trade Nene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Nene is getting up there but I really believe the minute he leaves we get a lot dumber as a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky21 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Guarantee Jan drops 20 on his former squad in a couple years. It's the Wizards Way I guarantee you he won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I guarantee you he won't. Seriously. Can't name many I've seen who had absolutely zero skills the way he did. One of the worst top 10 picks in NBA history. If anyone needed any evidence that our FO is comprised of morons, this pick would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was telegraphed that he was our pick about a month before the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed Maynor the first afternoon of FA, wouldn't even give Kendall Marshall a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was telegraphed that he was our pick about a month before the draft. We invited people from the Czech embassy to the VC to watch Jan get selected. What that tells me is if Jonas V had slid past Toronto, we still would have picked Vesely. Not sure if FO is just lazy or THAT incompetent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said, I love Jan as a person. I've never liked a bust more. But trust me man, we're not losing anything. At least Pecherov could shoot the ball. All Jan can do, literally all he can do, is jump high, set picks and tip loose balls. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 We should have traded for Ramon Sessions instead IMO. He's pretty decent and would have been more of a scoring spark. I don't really trust us to use Miller well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) http://nba.si.com/2014/02/20/nba-trade-deadline-winners-losers-2014/ NBA trade deadline: Winners and losers Wizards: Washington’s hole behind John Wall at point guard has been a crater for years. Eric Maynor looked like a reasonable stopgap signing last summer but he simply underwhelmed this season, leading coach Randy Wittman to ride his All-Star point guard for 37 minutes a night.Unloading Maynor and Jan Vesely in a three-team trade to acquire Andre Miller, then, is a move that brings some real promise. Yes, Miller is 37 years old and, yes, he was kept away from the Nuggets after a recent run-in with first-year coach Brian Shaw. But this is a durable, reliable floor general who is capable of scoring a little bit and acting as a distributor, depending on what’s asked of him. The big cost of this deal wasn’t anything that the Wizards sent out, but rather the $4.6 million owed to Miller next season. While that’s pretty spendy for a reserve point guard, Washington can swallow the price as Miller’s addition should help its push to make the playoffs for the first time since 2008. Washington is fifth in the East, but there’s plenty of potential for movement either up or down over the next two months. Miller will hopefully arrive in the nation’s capital excited by the prospect of playing for a team with a chance to go places, an opportunity that wasn’t available to him in Denver.

Destino Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Glen Davis just got bought out by the magic. Would be nice if the wizards had a way to add him but they don't. I think he'd be much better depth than Booker or Harrington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are really going all in for a first round exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can average even a +/- 0 from the bench from here on out, that is a HUGE improvement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin'emAlive Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I don't. Particularly as it pertains to Booker. Trevor is shooting 55% from the field compared to Glen's 45%. Booker is also playing less minutes than Davis. Its a bit hard to compare. Dude plays a good 30 min per game so his numbers are a bit higher. If i had to choose, i would say Big Baby because he is better at rebounding, steals, and assists. Seraphin is our scoring big off the bench. Booker should* be more of a put back guy. If Davis was brought in here, i would say he is an upgrade over Booker if he were to do just that. But i dont see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
