The Official Washington Wizards Thread

this draft is terrible upcoming

2000 terrible? Or just below average?

I don't know if there is a legit starter on the wizards other than John Wall. I saw that he called his team mates out on lack of effort the other night and I'm glad he did. The lack of effort on the team is disheartening. I think Ted needs to consider firing the coach AND the GM.

The biggest name the Wizards acquired in the trade that sent Kirk Hinrich to the Atlanta Hawks is Mike Bibby, but it's still an open question whether Bibby will suit up for the team. The veteran point guard reportedly seeks a buyout, but the team, at this point, is not inclined to give him one, according to multiple reports.

Alex Kennedy of HoopsWorld reports that Bibby will seek a buyout on his contract. Bibby is on the books for $5.7 million this year and $6.4 million next year.

They just reported on 980 that the Wiz are willing to give Bibby a buyout. If he eats a HUGE chunk of his contract.

Am I missing something? How could anyone call the Perkins-Green trade a bad one for either side? I thought it was brilliant and both teams came out winners.

People seem to think Perkins is a lot better than he really is. He had his purpose, but really he was just a guy when you get down to it and the Celtics have enough muscle in the front court to suffer his loss in the short term. That's indisputable, they never even missed him this year when he was out. The Celtics have an aging core and if they wait to retool after disaster strikes and Garnett/Pierce/Allen all fall off a cliff at the same time, they'll be consigned to mediocrity and lack the resources to improve. Hell, then you risk making Rondo unhappy.

Now they've got as bright a future as anyone with a Rondo/Green/Davis/Krstic core and a lot of nice young role players like Avery Bradley. It was textbook retooling on the fly and taking a proactive approach to finding long term roster solutions because you found yourself in a crisis.

I don't see their ability to beat the Magic substantially weakened by this deal either. They always beat the Magic and they're still a better team than them. They still won't have problems matching up with the Heat without Perkins. And I think they've still got more horsepower than the Bulls do. Perkins became unnecessary when Big Baby started to flourish.

As for the Thunder, Green was superfluous behind Durant. His best position was always SF and he'd always have been soft at the 4. Now with him gone you can start Ibaka at the 4 and Perkins as your center and suddenly you've got a very natural set of starters that fit their positions instead of having to jimmy around your lineups to make things work. Now they've got the muscle in the front court to hang with the Spurs and the Lakers. It also creates an opportunity for James Harden to really step up and thrive as the third banana in their offense.

This deal makes sense to me from every facet. The only way I think it goes bad is if Perkins never gets healthy again (in which case it'd only be bad for the Thunder)

Save it for the NBA thread.

Hey! I once saw a guy wearing a wizard's shirt that looked just like a 5'9" version of Nenad Krstic. Clearly this belongs here.

Lol #7 has to be suspended for his twitter meltdown last night. What a loser. I seriously can't believe I bought into his hype after 30 good games last year.
