“I’m sure you don’t really care to read it, but here’s Wilbon’s take on the game.”

Hilarious! And true.

Sorry I was in the wrong time zone...

to make the game thread roll call… but I was up early to read the great news…

Wall is such a blessing.

And IMO Gilbert’s absence for the opener was also a blessing, as Wall’s opportunity to shine was not subject to the inevitable distractions this would have caused. It would be nice to have Gilbert back soon though. This team simply does not have enough offensive weapons to succeed without him over the long haul and I am sure that opponents will declare open season on Wall if there is now surefire option alongside him .

Agreed

I think it’s good for Wall and all these guys to figure out their roles and then add Gilbert.

Trade Wilbon

Hate if you want, but...

…I think Wilbon made an interesting point for the open-minded reader in comparing the Wizard’s roster today to the rosters of the Bulls and Cavs in Jordan and LeBron’s first seasons and how likely it is that very few of the current Wizards will be around in a few years.

but that's an obvious point

I’d say the only guys who have a better than 50% chance of still being on the roster in the 2013-14 season are Blatche and McGee. And McGee is really close to 50%.

oops

I forgot about Seraphin and Booker. Those guys are slightly north of 50%, in my view.

It may be an obvious point to you,

but it hasn’t been made that way on this site yet – by comparing past champions – the way Wilbon made it.

It seems so elementary as to be beneath mention

Howard, Yi, Young, Thornton, Armstrong, Hilton, Hudson, Ndiaye all have expiring contracts at the end of this year. That’s HALF the team. That’s THIS year.

Hinrich expires the following year with McGee (team option). And there are the 3 first round rookies (team options after next year). Then there’s Arenas who we’d probably trade at the drop of a hat. Then there is Blatche, who is long term.

That’s the whole team. Two long term contracts, one centerpiece, a lot of expiring contracts and team options.

To say that these guys aren’t going to be around in six years is like saying the basketball will be round in six years.

Wall had a ton of assists, but what impressed me about them was how he got them. He would often pass the ball to places you wouldn’t expect- tossing it over the basket to a cutting Al Thornton, for example. Guys on this team are learning to keep their eyes open for that ball.
