First off, Seraphin is our future. We all know that (Wizard fans not named masterhater)
Seraphin is BETTER than Nene at this point. But he's not better than Nene in his prime
Thing is, he's well on his way to being that.
Okafor is a great backup.. Ariza is a great role player for ANY team
We got money to blow, and those contracts don't limit us from being a player in a summer freeagent session if a player we needed were to become available.
Right now, we not even worried about Nene. We trying to figure out who belongs where. Who is a starter.. who do we keep once everyone is back
How do we still develop a team full of youngins w/out losing games because of it
Nene will be fine and healthy when we need him. We don't need him right now.
And if he can't get right, then he retires and that salary is off the books
If he doesn't, its cuz he's healthy again and then he'll contribute more aka another
Hollaback haters. Love those new look Giants
Ernie blew our cap space away by doing the Okafor/Ariza trade. Okafor makes $14 million this year and next. Ariza is making $7 million with a player option for $7 million next year. We have room under the luxury tax, sure.Ernie could have just bought out Rashard and we would have had a lot of cap room this year and max room next year. But noooo, Ted wants what he pays to show up on the court
And Nene is still better than Seraphin IMO... Nene is a tad more efficient offensively and I think he's better defensively based on IQ and experience. Seraphin will no doubt get there, but that will come with more PT. Seraphin is an easy guy to root for and I hope we keep him long term because he will be a very good big man for years to come. His offensive game will expand and he is already good defensively, he just needs to work on his rebounding.
And we'd be bidding against ourselves if we gave John Wall the max.
Let him hit the open market and match whatever offer there is. He will be Restricted so all you nikkas talking about John leaving need to
on a bit.The time for a new GM was in 2010 when we got John. I'm kind of hoping for the team to do REALLY badly record wise so Ernie can go. It is the only way for change to come. The team is competitive so it isn't like last year when they were out classed and blown away. In fact, the Wizards have 4th quarter leads in nearly every game so far.
