"Raise the Wall": Official Washington Wizards Offseason Thread

I believe Drummond's situation was bad coaching. Same thing that is affecting Lamb. Bad coaching and no point guard fukked the two of them up.

he would get more of the same with the wiz

When I said bad coaching, I meant a bad situation in UConn with Calhoun being in and out and no point guard.

In DC, I really believe if had a guy like Nene with him things would have been slightly different. Also Drummond has an NBA body right now where as is still struggling with that.

brehs, what do you all think about Illyasova to play the PF for us

draft Beal, get Ersan

our rebounding and shooting would change the complexion of our squad

 

[FAH1223]

f we acquired Ilyasova, we'd have to do something with Booker. With Ilyasova and Vesely fighting for the PF minutes, there wouldn't be much left for Booker and he'd be sure to depart via free agency in 2 years anyhow. Our best bet would be to trade him immediately for the best possible SF we could find. If not a SF, then a future pick.

I wonder if Golden State would trade us Dorell Wright? That would leave us with:

PG Wall/Denmon
SG Beal/Crawford
SF Wright/Crowder/Singleton
PF Ilyasova/Vesely
C Nene/Seraphin

That's a playoff team.

The Washington Wizards have reached an agreement with the New Orleans Hornets on a trade to acquire Hornets center Emeka Okafor, according to sources close to the process.

The Wizards will get Okafor and Hornets forward Trevor Ariza for Rashard Lewis and Washington's No. 46 pick in next week's draft.

The trade will add two defensive specialists to Washington's roster as the Wizards continue to try to change their culture around prized rookie John Wall. Okafor thus joins Nene to give Washington two veteran big men after the Brazilian was acquired at midseason from Denver in a deal that brought an end to JaVale McGee's stay in the nation's capital.

The move, meanwhile, sheds two long-term contracts from the Hornets' payroll while opening up minutes, through Okafor's departure, for Kentucky star Anthony Davis, who almost assuredly will be selected No. 1 overall by New Orleans in next Thursday's draft.

The Hornets, sources say, are planning to waive Lewis before July 1 to slice roughly $10 million off the $24 million that he is owed in 2012-13. With the resultant financial flexibility, New Orleans is confident in its ability to re-sign restricted free agent Eric Gordon this summer to ensure it doesn't lose the best player it received in exchange for face-of-the-franchise Chris Paul in December.

rashard gone, but emeka on the squad?

good pickup with ariza tho....not sure who they goin with in the draft

def Beal... if we get MKG, I don't know how we're going to space the floor

 

[DoubleClutch]

Wall and Beal would be a great backcourt. Their games compliment each other. Beal basketball IQ would definitely help wall. Maybe he can also teach him how to shoot. There's a reason why the Cavs are so high on Beal. It'll either be, WALL/BEAL or BEAL/IRVING.
