The Official Washington Wizards Thread

Maybe he's a bust. Maybe he isn't. Too early to make that call.

Really dude?? He was the number 6 pick in the draft two years ago, the team he is on is 11-34 terrible and he doesn't even play in games. It would be one thing if this was a playoff caliber team in meaningful games and he was a rotation player, but they aren't and he still doesn't play at all. It's not too early to call someone like that a bust.

It would be interesting to see just what we could get in return for Vesely. Can't imagine it would be anything of note.

My thoughts on Vesely is that even if he has some redeemable qualities, they will never be developed under this current regime. If you are a fan of Vesley the player, you might want to hope he gets traded so he has a chance at realizing some of his "upside".

On a sidenote, would anybody be shocked if Ted wrote "since a team is interested in Vesely, it proves he's worth keeping" in a future blog?

Spurs looking like they want to rest in the 4th quarter.

Zeller playing on ESPN, Isaiah Austin playing on ESPN2.

Zeller is making an impact early.

Nerlens finishes with 19 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and two blocks on 7-10 shooting. Just one turnover and one personal foul. Monstrously efficient. He's the first overall pick.

A year and a half is absolutely to short a time to declare someone a bust. Especially a raw big man like Ves.

It would piss me off if we trade Ves and he ends up becoming a player for someone else. It's what the Wizards have been doing for decades. It's a big reason why the Wizards are the poster child for the NBA's third world.

Nene needs a few days off.

God damn. Duncan has been the MVP of my fantasy team this season. This is not what I want to see.

[StillUnknown]

Man, I hope Duncan isn't seriously hurt.

[stevemcqueen1]

This is one of the best games I've ever seen Zeller play. He's making a huge impact on D and on the glass. Runs the floor so damn well. Wow. He's really good.

Me too, and not just for my fantasy team. He and Dirk are my favorite non Wizards. I want to see SA get one last ring with him.

Chris Singleton has entered the game.


Wittman waving the white flag early.

Talk about can't get right. I know beal is out, but looking at the box score, I don't believe it would've mattered. Can't see the game but could see the Spurs score bolt up towards the end of the half. I said this 5 game stretch between Memphis to Brooklyn would give me a better idea; all I can see is "not enough". Tonight, not even close.

26% shooting is completely unprofessional. I refuse to give up on Wall, and feel its ridiculous to call him a bust or even consider trading him. But we absolutely need somebody else on this team that can score. Same way getting a shooting guard in the draft was a must, we have to go after a big man that can score as well. Keep the Wall-Beal backcourt, everyone else is starting to look like trade bait. I still like Webster and Okafor, but it would be better for us if they weren't starters.

How long are we planning to rebuild for? Are we like on a 40 year plan or something???


Edit: Serious...when does Ted expect us to be contenders? Is there any talk of a timetable here?

[Fight4RGIII]

Ariza tried to go all in right there

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

OT but Kidd-Gilchrist got ****ed up bad tonight. Taken off on a stretcher by paramedics, no movement.

[Fight4RGIII]

So THATS why Singelton hasn't been playing forever. Clearly, he can't help the team

My man Wittman is a genius.

Spurs took the 3rd quarter off, appear to be getting a little more serious in the 4th.

Omg, I cannot stop laughing.

Unreal.
