BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 ^^^ Andre DrummondNext year's draft is going to be so crucial. Andre Drummond is nice but you should be focusing on Anthony Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Note the arrows. And read the previous post. I'm not pushing Drummond. Just noting his name. As far as Anthony Davis goes....his unibrow is still ****ing with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) This entire Chris Paul, Howard etc to Lakers/Celtics is a bunch of crap. Unless the Magic and Hornets are willing to bend over, both moves are unlikely. Andrew Bynum is the biggest trade chip and he barely has the value anymore of attarcing tier 1 superstars After all the injury prone busts Orlando has gone through over the past two decades, they would be the absolutely most god damn retarded team to trade for Andrew Bynum.

Totally agree. Been arguing with a coworker all day about this. He swears Bynum is enough to get Dwight and Gasol and Odom are enough to get Paul. Why in the **** would Orlando and New Orleans want any of those guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Bait Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Andre Drummond is nice but you should be focusing on Anthony Davis. i'd rather have Drummond than Davis. Not a fan of the skinny athletic "big man" mold. I'd rather have a true big like Drummond. ---------- Post added December-6th-2011 at 06:50 PM ---------- anyone realize the Clippers have Minnesota's unprotected 2012 first round pick? Holy ****!

Warhead36 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 The Knicks and Lakers and Celtics can go around getting all the big names they want. It'll be that much sweeter when we build our team the right way and win championshps while they're stuck paying $100+ Million in luxury taxes. Yeah I said it.

RonArtest15 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 This draft is going to be SO deep....unbelievable. Honestly, if you wind up w. a lottery pick, there's a good chance that you may have a future STAR on your hands....not just a solid player, but a star. *Count me in as someone who would much rather have Davis over Drummond. For as enticing as Drummond is, Davis is more NBA-ready by a long-shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Definitely. Though I think I'd prefer the DC logo at center court rather than the Wizards. I was hoping they would use that too. But it looks good where they have it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Was reading some Bill Simmons today, he had us ranked as the third most likely (or 3rd smartest) destination for Arron Afflalo at 2 guard. What do you guys think of that? Though he did later say his prediction was that the Wizards would overpay to resign Nick Young. Spoke of Marc Gasol highly in the Centers column yesterday. The other thing he mentioned in regards to the Wizards was waiting a year before using the amnesty on Rashard Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke of Marc Gasol highly in the Centers column yesterday.The other thing he mentioned in regards to the Wizards was waiting a year before using the amnesty on Rashard Lewis. I wouldn't mind seeing Afflalo and Gasol come to the wizards. It's looking more and more less likely that Dwight Howard will hit the free agent market next year, so we might as well get our upgrade over McGee now. I'm really high on Gasol and think he could make the rest of the team better as he seemed to do for Memphis. I'd also like to keep Nick Young as well. To me, Nick is at worst a good 6th man on a playoff team. I actually think he is a legit starter at the 2 and he could also play the 3 in small ball lineups. I see Crawford better suited as the backup PG to Wall. I was at one of the games last year when Wall was suspended for the Miami "fight" and Crawford had a triple double starting at the point. Crawford is more valuable playing point because he is a playmaker...an above average passer who can get to the rim and make plays for his teammates. Afflalo would be a good 8 man rotation addition at guard and would also open up the ability to possibly package Crawford in a trade with Blatche and/or McGee for an upgrade at the 4/5 and/or a draft pick in next year's deep draft.

HailinginSeattle Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I've been having a hard time finding new Wizards gear I figured it was because of the lock-out and am hoping that new gear should be popping up now. Anyone know of a site online that has some of the new gear? Spefically hats and shirts, I don't like any of the new hats on the Wizards site.

Going Commando Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 If Wall takes a monumental leap, it is possible.Either way, I think he is a nice veteran presence on the team. Either Vesley or Singleton can take over his spot by the end of the year. Wall is absolutely going to take that leap this season. Everything he did this summer pointed to this. I think we're definitely going to make the playoffs as a late seed unless Wall gets hurt. We're going to miss out on a great lottery this year too. Damn. ---------- Post added December-8th-2011 at 08:50 AM ---------- I second Andre Drummond I think Drummond and Davis are #1 and #2 overall if they come out. They've got that type of pedigree. The Baylor guys are going to go high too. Barnes is a top five pick. That could be your top five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticVillain Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Anybody see the new schedule. It is crazy. It is like 10 back to back on that joints including one back to back to back, with three days rest followed by six games in eight days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teller Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Not trying to be rude or a buzzkill, but asking a legitimate question. As someone who hasn't followed the NBA closely for 10 years or so, is there any reason to have a vested interest in the Wizards this year? I was a Knicks fan growing up, then jumped on the Jordan bandwagon. I'd like to settle in and have a true favorite team again, but I don't need to add to my list of garbage teams to follow either.

Yeah, Wall is legit, from what little I watched last year. I guess my biggest thing is I want to be a fan of a team that works hard every night, plays fundamental ball (good luck, in the NBA ) and will at least be IN games more often than not.
