Wouldn't Okafor+Ariza for Pau work out? Don't think Lakers would take Nene.... front court of Pau+Nene.

Anything to get rid of those two is good for me...

You do know...Okafor is averaging better numbers per 36 then Pau...and with vastly better defensive effort...and he's cheaper...and he hasn't shown an acute decline...If Pau somehow could revert to Pau of 2-3 years ago, I'd be all over it, but you have to take into consideration its the wizards medical staff that'll be tending to him.

Actually, I'd rather just hold on to those two...especially when the return is Pau.

I'm not that high on him at this point in his career.

I like Okafor. He's been rebounding like a fiend the past month.

Did you all know Isiah Austin is the nephew of Ike Austin?

We essentially threw that draft away.

I would bash the Wiz but I can't considering I wanted all three players we drafted.

I was happy with who we picked. The guys I wanted went before we picked (Kanter & Valanciunas). Ves or Bismack was the pick for me at 6 but Bismack felt like a reach. Singleton was fine with the 18th pick for me. I wasn't super invested in that choice either way. I don't really care about the second rounders in any year.

That class was awful though. I bet Kyrie is the only All Star to come out of that class. Only about 8 guys have shown starting ability from that entire group: Kyrie, Kawhi, Manimal, Parsons, Isiah Thomas, Klay Thompson, Brandon Knight, and Kemba Walker. Tristan Thompson, Valanciunas, Vucevic, Jimmer, Kanter, and Marshon Brooks all look decent like they might be something down the line. Other than that, there was not a lot of worthy talent in that class. A lot of back end of the rotation quality but it's still early. Maybe there will be some guys who emerge a couple years from now. Others will undoubtedly be out of the league.

I wanna see the Wizards on TNT. Simply because of their cameras. They zoom in all the time on the action, when a player drives the line. On CSN, I feel like I'm watching the game from far away. Close up views of the game are pretty sweet.

[MLSKINS]

Okay, I don't want Pau and Okafor is okay. I just don't like Ariza. Seems like he really doesn't want to be better. Even with Wall he still looks like he's not all there. Get him outta here.

[No Excuses]

This team may be better than the Crapitals. Go figure.

[MonkFan8]

Ted better give the moderator of Ted's Take a raise if he wants to keep that thing respectable. Gonna be a hell of a lot of comments to approve.

No kidding. As the owner of all three teams at the verizon center, how can you live with yourself knowing that all three of them are losing teams now?

I don't want Nene and Gasol on the payroll. I don't think the wizards make any big moves this season or offseason. They're going to draft at their spot and keep the team mostly the same maybe sig nng someone to replace Webster when he walks and changing some depth.
