The Official Washington Wizards Thread

[Destino]

This team is like watching reruns year after year. Different players, same results. I thought they were supposed to be better this year according to everyone in here? What's going on?

I predicted 15 wins. Just looking at the roster screams "bad year". Wall and McGee are the only two players on the starting roster that belong there. Young and Blatche have games that scream bench scoring. Lewis is a bum.

Lewis is a bum.

I get your point if you mean "at this stage in his career," but if we look at his career in retrospect he was a good player. We just got him at the wrong time and we did get rid of Arenas' contract when we got him so he served a purpose in that regard.

That's exactly what I meant. Even considering how bad he's been I still think the Gilbert trade was positive for the Wizards. I was commenting on the team as it stands right now.

Getting rid of Gilbert based on him being a distraction is a better assessment. The contracts weren't really anything in the matter as Lewis signed 6 year/$118 million contract in 2007 as opposed to Gilbert's 6 year/$124 deal in 2008. Really only got rid of a year's salary.

I predict we won't make the playoffs until 2014 at the least. The team is just absolute trash.

I also predict Vesely will be a bust. Not because I've seen him play and think that, but because we are the Washington Wizards and draft horribly.

Hadn't seen this posted.

It might be worth the charge just to slap Cowherd.

A year is significant.

[No Excuses]

No one posted it because only a blowhard like Cowherd reaches the conclusion that John Wall is the next Stephon Marbury because he did a 15 second dance in his opening NBA game.

I'd like to see Cowherd point out how many point guards averaged 16, 8 and 4 in their rookie season.

And the people who post anything linking what he has to say.

You can ignore history of the franchise and be pissed at me, or you can know the history and be pissed and want changes.

The BEST team in your wizards lifetime, and the best coach were thrown out because fans don't know the teams history.

I do, I have watched them since the day they came to town.

Here is another link for you. Truth might hurt, or it might want you to demand change. Leonsis thinks he can build this like a hockey team, he is crazy.

Both pieces are unrelated. Cowherd is a tool who had egg on his face last year when he slammed Wall after one game but John ended up having a great rookie year. Now five games into the season, he wants to pat himself in the back for really nothing. Wall got off to a slow start but he's hardly been a major problem.

You'll find most people agreeing with the Kornheiser and Aldridge. Wall will leave if he's not surrounded by good teammates. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

And please, shut up already about the history. Eddie Jordan was thrown out because he couldn't coach defense for ****. That was why Philly threw him out as well and why he's coaching high school basketball right now.

Sure it helps, but the main point was to just move Gilbert.

Eddie Jordan was the best coach the team had in 20 years, and we threw him out thinking our franchise was somehow the Lakers or the Celtics.

The Wizards are the gum underneath our shoes. You have to walk before you can run. We just started to walk after 20 years of being a joke and we ran them all out of town.
