The Official Washington Wizards Thread

[Gator Bait]

you all can officially put me on the trade McGee at the deadline train. I'm not paying anyone 10 million a year on "potential" I just said it myself a few posts ago........"potential" means you aren't good.

McGee has "potential" he isn't good.

I know someone is going to chime in with his (who are you going to replace his production with) argument.

DUDE....seriously..........we ****in' suck.....we've sucked for 4 years now. Who the **** gives a **** who we replace him with.....when you replace a guy on a **** team...it doesn't matter who you replace them with. It can't get any worse, and that guy you replaced....he didn't help you win!

he's gonna get PAID next year. Not worth it. You could get a Dalembert type guy for 6/7 million a year......upgrade on defense, come close on boards, and subtract two or three stupid player per game.

there comes a point where "potential" isn't worth anything anymore. GOCOLB is dead on right........you all remember when we played the "potential" card for NY and 7 day dray? How did that turn out?

sorry guys...I just had to vent. Scotch does that to me sometimes.

Davis has unbelievable touch on his inside offensive game.

It's his hand eye coordination. It's spectacular. Among the best I've ever seen for a big.

[Gator Bait]

I wouldn't draft Jordan or McGee first overall because neither were nearly as good a player as Davis. And Davis isn't just a great shot blocker, he's one of the best the NCAA has ever seen--as a freshman.

Davis is dominating the SEC. He's the best player on the best team in the country by far, arguably one of the best teams ever based on what they did in the regular season. They were a prayer of a 3 point buzzer beater away from finishing undefeated and they blew out almost everybody. This is a team with a killer instinct and will to dominate that's truly special and Davis is the central figure and star. These guys are better than Wall, Bledsoe, Patterson, and Cousins were two years ago.

His numbers, for a freshman big, are awesome, and his talent level and potential is amazing.

There isn't anyone in this class who would come close to consideration for #1 overall over Davis. He'll be the surefire first pick in the draft.

You've said you want winners and like guys who know how to play the game, why don't you like Davis? He's brimming with these very qualities. Noah is an interesting (if somewhat a poor man's comparison) because Noah is also a born winner that's never played on bad teams. I think Davis is going to have a similar effect for whatever team ends up being lucky enough to win the lottery this year.

I'm tired of arguing...only time will tell. I think you will be sadly disappointed when this guy turns into a solid starter, but nothing special in the NBA.

BUT....I hope I'm wrong, you are right, and we draft this dude.

Gator McGee is good RIGHT NOW. He's never going to be great but if you look around the league you realize he's a middle of the pack center. Seraphin, Blatche, and Turiaf will never be as good as he is right now. Theyll never be middle of the pack starting centers. The reason he has to be traded is because the damage is done and he's not resigning here. He wont want to and we Ted has angry fans thathave decided hes the problem. The rumors of teams planning to target him in the offseason already exist because they know fans will go crazy if the wizards match offers merited by a middle of the pack center.

We should offer McGee and something to the TWolves for Williams. They have Love and maybe they'd be willing to part with the lesser version of him they have on the bench (though I doubt even they are that stupid). Booker and McGee for Derrick Williams. Or trade him for Wilson Chandler.

[Gator Bait]

on another note....I couldn't resist...I spent my 69th tweet (ever...I don't tweet much) telling Blatche he should change his name to Kwame Brown and told him we wouldn't booo him if he wasn't soft and lazy.

where do you all rank the following people affiliated with the wizards on your hate list:

Chris Webber, DeShawn Stevenson, Andray Blatche, Eddie Jordan, Kwame Brown, Michael Jordan, Gilbert Arenas, ( I feel like I'm missing someone)

my list:

1) MJ ( worst executive ever...thank you for drafting Kwame and trading Rip because he wouldn't pass you the ball...I hate you!)
2) Blatche (I know you were a 2nd round pick, but you are a soft, lazy, pathetic excuse for a human being)
3) Eddie Jordan (we had tons of talent, but you held them to zero accountability and didn't give a **** about defense)
4) Deshawn Stevenson ( don't taunt one of the greatest regular season basketball players ever you idiot!)
5) Webber (I'm was too young when you were getting arrested an causing trouble that caused us to ship you out....young and dumb w/ lots of money....I kind of understand)
6) Agent Zero (you gave me the best 4/5 years of basketball I ever watched....I'm not mad atcha.

I'd run around naked and sing backstreet boys if you could pull off this trade.....but there is zero chance of it happening.

The team that would most likely try to land McGee is Golden State. And McGee is not good. He has potential, which means he sucks.

Like I said DUDE, I'M YELLING NOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO WE REPLACE HIM WITH......WE ARE AN UNDER 20 WIN PER SEASON TEAM RIGHT NOW....HE ISN'T HELPING US!

[Destino]

Potential to be what? McGee is what he is. Maybe he adds half a rebound and gets to 12 ppg. He's not going to go from a somewhat awkward thin big man to Bynam. He's a middle of the pack big that gives you some offense and some defense but will never be great at either, just average to slightly bode average.

I heard on the radio the reason we don't have Derrick Williams is that they wanted wanted McGee and the pick and EG said no. Maybe they still want him?

[Gator Bait]

bode average.

I heard on the radio the reason we don't have Derrick Williams is that they wanted wanted McGee and the pick and EG said no. Maybe they still want him?

that makes me sick to my stomach....so you are telling me we could have had Derick Williams to run the pick and roll/pop w/ Wall for the next 10 years and wouldn't pull the trigger because they wanted us to include McGee and Vesely.....WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Warhead36]

The only guy I really hate on that list Gator is Blatche.

[Gator Bait]

The only guy I really hate on that list Gator is Blatche.

I forgot to include Kwame....it really wan't his fault he was picked #1 overall by a ****ty GM though. I channel all my "busted #1 pick" anger to Jordan.

I honestly can't understand how any Izzards fan could possibly not hate Jordan....both Eddie and Michael....no more Jordans damn it.

Can we find another Strickland please?

[Warhead36]

I don't hate Eddie Jordan. He wasn't Phil Jackson by any means but the team at least resembled a professional team under him and hell, we got to the playoffs for the first time in a zillion years under his reign. I have no real reason to hate him. He was overall a pretty average coach here.

As far as MJ goes...he made the Wizards relevant in the national ranks when he played. But yeah as a GM he was god awful.

[No Excuses]

I heard on the radio the reason we don't have Derrick Williams is that they wanted wanted McGee and the pick and EG said no. Maybe they still want him?

Did you hear this own 106.7? They love to make up ****.

I highly doubt that trade was on the table.

[Skin'emAlive]

where do you all rank the following people affiliated with the wizards on your hate list:

Chris Webber, DeShawn Stevenson, Andray Blatche, Eddie Jordan, Kwame Brown, Michael Jordan, Gilbert Arenas, ( I feel like I'm missing someone)

my list:

1. Andray Blatche. Becaus **** him, thats why.
2. Micheal Ruffin. But he hustles so Much!
3. Yi Jianlian. He had whopper jr. hands and the aggression of an upset girl scout.
4. Nick Young. Definition of a 2 cent brain.

I dont hate the others. There wasnt really a reason to hate them honestly.

1. MJ joined a ****ty team and wanted to play. So he sucks as a GM. Atleast he didnt draft us Adam Morrison.
2. Eddie Jordan wasnt good, but he had his hands teid behind his back.
3. Kwame Brown wasnt hated. He just sucked, and we hated that he was on our team. But we didnt hate him.
4. Chris Webber?
5. I loved Gilbert Arenas
6. I might have loved Desean Stevenson more. He was the only dude in the league calling Lebron out for his gift-wrapped domination. Also he was pretty good at defending him ( see last year's nba champions ) He just happened to stir the pot with the nba's darling and got the stink eye from the league. It was unfortunate.

Pretty sure Tom Lavero said it.

[RonArtest15]

FWIW, I do remeber that deal being discussed at draft time (McGee + #6 for the #2)...and we did obviously turn it down.

Good question.

1) Blatche -- I've never hated an athlete more than I hate Blatche.

2) MJ -- I'm with you here. And not just him sucking at being a GM. I also think him coming back to play was one of the most selfish things I've ever seen in sports. Instead of drafting Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Dwight, etc, we were drafting Jared Jeffries. Him coming back to play--for NOTHING but his ego--inflated our value and cost us valuable draft picks. **** MJ. Undoubtedly the GOAT and I thank God that I got to watch him in his prime growing up, but dude is an absolute dick (they normally are).

3) D Steezy with an honorable mention to Gilbert -- It's hard for me to hate Gilbert. He gave us young fans probably our greatest memories as fans. But him and D Steezy created this clown culture for which we are still suffering from today. I'll also throw AJ in here for being an overrated leader who let that **** go on.

4) Juwan Howard -- Howard, Sheed and Webber. We ****ing keep Howard. I'll hate him even if it's not his fault.

5) Eddie Jordan -- Just for running Tom (I'll always **** up the spelling) Thibodeux out of town. He should be the coach right now. But Eddie saw the writing on the wall and ****ed us out of that.


I gotta think about this some more.
