Lester Hudson, Cartier Martin and Hamady N'Diaye all make final Wizards roster

Don’t worry about NY. He will not be coming of the bench. Ex specially not from this weak a$$ wizards team that he is on. And if Young is going to sit I would rather see Young sit on some other team. Like you all’s great player Dmack is sitting. Oh 2 year ago you guy thought Dmack was so great. And you guy’s put him over Nick. And for those of you who said that you wanted Kyle Weaver well you can get him the bulls cut him he is free, the wizards can get him for nothing.

Because this is what I initially wanted to see happen. But I’m surprised it DID happen. I was hoping Hudson would be signed over H (mainly because the team had already signed Armstrong). As the preseason rolled along though, I was less high on Hudson and felt N’Diaye needed to be retained.

Hudson has upside though and the Wiz will need a scoring spark-plug off the bench after Nick Young is released

PG Wall 38
SG Arenas 34
SF Howard 36
PF Blatche 38
C McGee 32

6 th man Hinrich 30 (at the 1, 2 and 3)
7 role player Yi 16 (when Yi plays, AB moves over to the 5)
8 role player Thorton 16 (Thorton will come in at 3 and at 4 for AB)

Benchplayers / depth: Hudson, Martin, Young, Booker, Seraphin, Armstrong, N’diaye

Note 1: I think the rotation is somewhat bigger than 8 though during the regular season, some minutes will come to Armstrong, Young and Booker, mostly depending on matchups, foul trouble and in Youngs case shooting streaks.
Note 2: As long as Howard is out Thorton moves into the starting line up and Young, Booker and Martin will all get a change coming off the bench.
Note 3: Booker provides rebounding and energy-defense. He needs to develop some range and work on lateral quicknes and he could take over Thortons role at the 3 and 4 since Thorton provides below average defense and doesnt really have consistant range outside 16 ft.
Note 4. Seraphin needs the go to D league cause he prob. wont see any significant PT for the whole season
Note 5. Nick Young + Seraphin + protected future 1st rnd pick + Arenas for a buch of bad contracts is a deal other teams might want to consider.

No reason to cut anybody now when we can push that decision down the road. Who knows what deals will happen by January. We could be sending more players out in a trade than we are getting back.

Meanwhile we have depth at guard in case Arenas discovers a new part of his leg to injure and we don’t have to drop H, plus we get his translation services for Seraphin.

Win win win.

The fact that Flip and the front office have mentioned a few times that they were only planning on keeping 14 players makes me think that when J-Ho comes back, somebody’s going to be cut. Ernie seems reluctant to give up H’s rights, and I can see Cartier being relatively productive in spot minutes (6-8 mpg), so Hudson seems like the odd man out. I wouldn’t have a problem keeping all three of these guys if we don’t need the roster spot, though. It’s not like we’re breaking the bank, and if Hudson turns out to be an Alonzo Gee-type revelation, we might want to keep him around.
