The Official Washington Wizards Thread

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

We still have no big bodies worth putting on the floor. Painful to watch Gortat have his way.

Who would have ever thought that back during the Etan vs Haywood hairpulling fights, we would one day desperately miss Brendan Todd Haywood and that he would go down as probably the best Wizards center of our lifetimes (so far)?

Read an article by Lee in the Post today about Gil's injury. In it they quoted Flip as saying that he hope the Wiz aren't going to be the homecoming team. (The team a high school plays on their homecoming that they are a lock to dominate.) Unfortunately that's exactly what they are. But oh well. We were horrible last year. Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm dreading the "sky is falling" bull**** I'm gonna hear on the radio tomorrow.

The so-called experts on the radio probably have watched less than 10 games in the last five years.

You're drafting today...

John Wall or Blake Griffin?

John Wall but we could have had both if we won the lottery last year as well. Although I doubt if we get Griffin we win the lottery again and get Wall

John Wall or Blake Griffin?

Wall, but only because I don't think Blake's knees will hold up with the way he plays

although I sincerely hope he stays healthy, I like watching him play

Wall. Blake is further ahead right now but Wall has D-Wade potential. I don't see Blake being anything more than a Stoudemire clone (which is not bad at all).

Kirk Hinrich plans on building an entire brick house community in Orlando tonight.

Vishal you just made me lol at that comment about Hinrich

This might sound crazy but have you considered the possibility that the Wiz would have been better off drafting Demarcus Cousins?

I thought all along that he would have fit better with the makeup of our team.

But maybe I'm wrong.

Cousins to many was the best player in the draft but there were many concerns about his maturity and conditioning, I'd rather have Wall 10 times out of 10 although I think Cousins is in a great situation in Sacramento with Evans to help out

It's sickening to listen to them talk about the Wizards. Both stations. But 106.7 especially. The radio home of our Washington Wizards. I feel bad for Dave Johnson and Glen Consor.

Well considering Griffin didn't play last year (and thus will probably be Rookie of the Year this year), I don't see how anything would've changed.

Ditto. I'm a huge Griffin fan. I was on that bandwagon early and desperately wanted him last year.

It would've been a risk, one that you really can't take with the #1 pick when Wall has almost no chance of being a bust. I think a great part of Cousins' potential success will be related to the structure around him.

I'm not sure he would've got what he needs here

[Sticksboi05]

Not a big deal. It's the Magic and we have no Arenas or Howard, what did we expect?

Yup. That was the beef with Cousins and why he slipped to 5. That he was/is a headcase and lazy.

I would have been more open to it had the Kwame fiasco never happened. I think his character issues were largely overblown but you know he was coming in with baggage. The media would have been after him like vultures. With Wall you have a maintenance free guy and nothing to worry about at least off the court.

+1

Exactly. The casual fans are gonna flip but I hope the hardcores understand where we are at as a franchise.
