slow and steady wins the ring?

While this may not be the most exciting thing to do, by that i mean sign your two big stars early and settle in until the regular season. I am thankful for the stability this organization is conducting itself with. All the way down to continuously drafting huge projects early, EG has had the same game plan for the last few years. I think everyone is right and that we have somhow stumbled into a position where we can go out and pick up a all-star caliber player in a trade at the deadline. gil will have a chip on his shoulder, with everryone saying chris paul is better than him and that he can't lead a team or pass, hes gonna set the league ablaze next year. I think a few of our young players are ready to impress and that we have a team when healthy that will give anybody fits and happens to match up quite well against the elite in our own conference. Gil young butler jamison and haywood are solid. then you have stevenson blatche d-mac daniels and songalia and and maybe Mcgee coming off the bench in spurts helping as needed. the great thing about our bench players is that they all have the abillity add something specific to the game. If eddie can get them to realize their roles for a calculated playoff run then we surely have a chance. Im just praying that we are healthy next year and if we are i dont feel we ill be disapointed with the results one way or another. with the team we have i feel we are a conference semi/ finals team. add diaw, josh smith, okafor..someone bigger perhaps a 2 guard if young doesnt develop well like a gino-bili or a maggettee type playerr despite the fact that maggettee prolly wont be avialable. to conclude this ramblin i feel we have a healthy mix of young developing players with pot. and vets who can still play and will be able to for awhile to come. I think we have a bigger window and a better set up to make consistant runs at the championship than any other team in the east. Celts have 1-2 more years, cavs- who knows after james hits free agency, and the pistons have next year, orlando is yougn but needs to add a 2 guard and then us we have a team that when healthy again can compete with all those team and will be around and assembled after they are done-broken up- dismantles-retired/ in their hurtin' rebuilding years.  I'm excited and feel we just need to improve internally and stay on the court and we are gonna be a surprise in this league next year.

p.s Please add brent barry to our squad, i feel he would fit in nicely here.

Brent Barry

Interesting…I’d prefer him to AD if Barry is cheaper, that’s for sure.

You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.

Amen.....

We’ll see what minor piece the Wiz can add…

But I think people would agree that with a little luck in the health department (lord knows the DC area is due) that this Wizards team, even as it is now (assuming a new Arenas contract), has the potential to be very, very scary.

I don't know about that

The Wizards really lack size and any sort of post presence. Jamison is another good offensive player but he’s very undersized for a power forward and doesn’t have a post game. He’s also a poor defender. Gilbert is a scorer and that’s about it, he gambles too much on defense and is prone to chucking it. Brendan Haywood is the best interior defender but he’s pretty mediocre when you compare him to specialists like Dalembert in Philly. That being said Caron is great, and there are some solid role players. Although I think most of them are overpaid.

However, I wouldn’t be surprised if teams like Philadelphia, Atlanta, and the Bulls start to creep ahead of the Wiz.

A Time For Heroes,
It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood
And it's all
It's all in my hands
And its all up the walls
Well the stale chips were up and the hopes stakes were down
Until Kp came into Town!
'Sing it Petey!

True

Things have the potential to go wrong as well.

But I see a deep and growing bench as a good sign…..along with the constancy of the team staying together and knowing how to play with each other.

....Maybe slow, steady, and togetherness nets a banner. We will certainly see.
