[No Excuses]

Whats the potential on this Crawford guy?

Supposed to be an excellent outside shooter who can play off the ball. He's undersized at 6'4 for SG though so he's most likely going to be an off the bench player. Not a bad guy to have for the next 3 years on a cheap rookie contract.

Dude...we can basically set our starting 5 for the next 10 years in this upcoming draft

How so?

I currently see 1 & 1/2 future starters on this team. Wall & MAYBE McGee.... Jury's definitely out of Seraphim & Booker looks like a good 7th man who can come off the bench and supply energy and be the anti-blache. Nick Young is a good scorer, but that's all he brings. I dunno if I'd call him a long-term solution.

We can be like OKC and ATL in 2 years

All you mentioned plus two firsts with one a lottery pick...

I like the direction

[StillUnknown]

Blatche's name is spelled wrong on his jersey

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Granted...the draft can be a crap shoot but best case scenario, we can end up like ATL

Don't get me wrong I like the direction, but besides Wall, I don't think that any player on this roster is a bona fide starter for 10 years plus. I hope we get the best player available with our picks and not fool ourselves into believing that anyone besides Wall is a sure thing.

[Sticksboi05]

Get this deal done, NOW.

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Forgive me God but I was so happy when Blatche just walked to the back


And isn't Martin supposed to be a 3 point guy?
His 3 ball stroke is terrible

Oh yeah 10 years is a stretch...I didn't really mean that literally

I'm just saying we can have a talented young competitive team in the near future

its done, i think Kirk & Armstrong left at halftime

Terrence Jones/Jared Sullinger in the draft and now we're cooking.

[willygogo]

I've never been a big basketball guy, so forgive me if i'm wrong, but it seems to me that this team just gives up and just takes nonsense, awful shots that have no chance of dropping, then just give up on rebounds and runs to get back on "defense" which is also laughably terrible.

Wall does look legit though. Would be nice to get him some help out there.

[RonArtest15]

Off topic, but Marshon Brooks has 52 points right now...
*back on topic...anyone else got a feeling that Blatche is going to be traded???

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

You are correct. The Wizards suck.


God I hope we get Lucas Nogueira with our second 1st.

sadly, you are correct

can you give me a quick breakdown of what kind of player he is? i'm not up to speed yet on the international prospects in the draft

*back on topic...anyone else got a feeling that Blatche is going to be traded???

nobody wants our garbage

He wouldn't be out there if he was getting traded. Although I'm curious about where the "Cleveland is part of the trade" talk came from. When Blatche trade talks have come up in the past Cleveland is ALWAYS the first team that is mentioned.

I wouldn't be shocked if he thought he was getting traded and faked that injury right now to try to stop it. Cause he's looking fine now.
