I wonder what Deshawn is up to..

victor page · Feb 20, 2014

Glad we dodged that Javale McGee bullet.

That playoff series when he first got to Denver had people thinking he was the latest Wizard defect turned star.

Not.

Would have rather done nothing then this honestly.
why didn't we actually look into aaron brooks?

Look, I'd be the first to celebrate shipping Jan Vesely out of town, but this was the wrong move.

One day Andre Iguodala was in here, posted right in this thread. I said, "Iggy, you used to hang out with Andre Miller. Just between me and you, how old is Andre Miller?" He said, "Hey, Andre Miller's 137 years old. 137 years old."

Not only is he 137 years old. Not only is he disgruntled, but he's also taking up $5 million next season. Now, first of all, we could've picked up Aaron Brooks today. We could've picked up Jarrett Jack. We could've picked up Steve Blake. We could've taken Roger Mason, Jr. for free. We could've signed a free agent and exiled Maynor to the D League.

Why we decided to get into a bidding war with Flip Saunders for 75 year old Andre Miller is beyond explanation.

This is exactly why I wanted to stand pat. We're now minus a draft pick and we've ADDED $5 million in salary next season for a guy who's on social security - all to clean up ANOTHER Ernie Grunfeld blunder. This madness must end.

Well said - basically how I feel about it. The level of incompetence Grunfeld has displayed in his tenure is genuinely incredible. That protected pick and Okafor in some kind of package could have netted some combination of Blake, Pau, and Jordan Hill.
Oh, well - at least Maynor is gone. Now we just have to hope Miller isn't all the way washed up, AND has an additional season in him after this one. :smh:

I'm just glad Maynor is gone. Son was giving us absolutely NOTHING off the bench.

I'm wondering the same thing. Houston has 3 pretty solid PGs so they could have easily let him go.

Wall and Beal playing terribly. I wish we had a better coach who would demand more of them. Sometimes it seems like they're allowed to just go out there and do whatever

dt43 · Feb 22, 2014

Great pass by Wall to Nene!! Wiz win :pimp:

I woulda been pissed if we lost another game to a bad team. I'm worried about Cleveland tomorrow

AgentZero · Feb 22, 2014

John came up clutch

Glad he stopped settling for his usual late game jumpers and drove to force the attention of the defense

j3rm00 · Feb 22, 2014

NAYNAY!!!! Beautiful pass by Wall

Funny Cuz nene would've been blamed for the loss
For the missed free throw and the foul on AD

dt43 · Feb 22, 2014

Andre looked pretty good tonight. His defense is bad but he is infinitely better than Maynor and Temple on offense.

He had a couple plays where you could really see his veteran skills, the full court assist to Beal was beautiful

dt43 · Feb 23, 2014

Nene injured his knee.. you knew it was coming

Unfortunately yes. They just said it's a left knee sprain, hopefully that's all it is.

bless · Feb 23, 2014

Hopefully Nene will be back soon.

bless · Feb 23, 2014

Nice contribution from Seraphin off the bench.

dt43 · Feb 23, 2014

Good win. Now we wait and see what's going to happen with Nene. I have a bad feeling that he'll be out for like 3 weeks :smh:

jking0821 · Feb 24, 2014

Handled business played good defense for most of the game too.

Yup

extraordinary swag · Feb 24, 2014

they're saying torn ligament on Twitter :x

this makes me despise Jan Vesely even more, ZERO development from him and now he's gone when we need length. We're stuck with undersized Booker now

victor page · Feb 24, 2014

Like Jan Veseley was going to step in and do something other than make a few hustle plays, have one double digit rebound game every 10 games, and a couple highlight dunks that people will gas up and claim they "see his potential".

I'll be shocked if he's on a roster in October.

extraordinary swag · Feb 24, 2014

Oh I'm not saying he was gonna be good, I'm saying I'm mad he wasn't developed at all into a competent nba player his size

was at the game on Fri, great pass by Wall to see Nene at the last second :pimp:

jjs07 · Feb 24, 2014

There is a fear among some members of the Washington Wizards that Nene is done for the season with a torn ligament in his left knee, although the team won't know for certain until the Brazilian big man meets with team doctors and has an MRI exam on Monday. According to a person with knowledge of the situation, "It doesn't look good."
