Can someone please consolidate all the blatche/mcgee threads into one please...
Yes, let's call it "Highway to Hell"... The worst team in the league is desperately trying to unload Blatche and has given up on Spaceman McGee, and yet there are 40 threads about how we should trade for these bums.
These guys are the anti-Celtics... Talented, but with no idea how to win... No idea how to contribute to a winning team... The Celtics are all about hard work, playing as a team and getting the most out of your teammates and yourself. These are the 2nd and 3rd most important players on consistently the worst team in the league... If you are trying to relegate the Cs to years of worse than mediocrity, than these are the guys you want...
Trading for these guys is an Isiah Thomas amateur night move... There's a reason NO ONE will touch Blatche... I can't believe people actually want to give up assets for him.
My impression is that they want to get rid of Blatche so, so bad, they don't even want assets and, hell, they'll even give up Javale McGee for it.
JO and Wilcox (who's apparently injured) for Javale McGee...why the hell not? It's not for Blatche it's for an actual starting center and that will put us over the top. My math says 4 years of Blatche bull**** for a championship is worth it.
There's no trade with Washington that would give us a chance to win it this year. You are fooling yourself if you think otherwise. Sorry.
This.
People on this forum seem very taken by loser bigs that are on offer from loser teams. There is a reason these teams lose all the time and there is a reason these players are on offer.
Just to summarise a few.
Deandre Jordan (Not on offer but was sought after on this blog)A decent but not very talented athletic big man who was on a loser clippers team for a while and did very little to change that with his inconsistent play, and suddenly when surrounded with good players and the best point guard in the league he is someone we should trade the house for.
Andray BlatcheProbably the worst defensive power forward in the league and just completely lacks effort all round. His and Mcgee's presence as starters for the Wiz directly correlate to them sucking.
Javale McgeeThe dumbest player in the NBA without a doubt. Makes stupid plays consistently, to the point of getting benched for them, yet does not learn. Makes a lot of effort with plays that will get him on the highlight reel, regardless of whether he helps the team or not, then makes a stupid salute to the people of Washington every time something happens to go right on the court for him. Lacks positioning due to lack of brain.
Chris KamanProbably the best option so far, as he is talented offensively and knows how to use his body and rebound the ball. However he is extremely slow and injury prone and you're probably going to have to give up a pick to land him. Not good enough to put us into contention. So no point.
Boris DiawTalented offensively, and a decent passer of the ball. However is fat and lazy. Hustle wise he is Glen Davis without the heart. Once again not really a difference maker in possibly the worst team in the league.
Andris BiedrinsShocking contract, averaging a stellar 2 points and 4 rebounds this year.
Andrew BogutA good player but i dont think he's strung games together like...ever.
STOP Wanting these guys. They arent going to help our immediate situation enough to bother, and they definitely wont help into the future. I get we need size, but these guys aren't the answer. If we want to get into a contract for a center, lets wait until the end of the year when we can afford one THATS ACTUALLY PLAYING GOOD BASKETBALL, NOT GOING TO BE INJURED, AND NOT 35.
