Try hard to trade the dude after he plays like crap, comes in out of shape and has a potentially season-ending injury. Just great.

sometimes relationships end….this one probably has…and a lot of time both parties end up in a better place…

I hope he gets traded and it ends up well…

I would shop him for a veteren PG with a jump shot , like Heinrich (not him specifically). Someone that can help mold John Wall, but also can serve a a spot up shooter if Nick/JC/Roger can’t get their act together.

But ultimately I suspect the would want a big man back to back up Javale because Kevin absolutely won’t be ready this year.

If Ernie had not given him that ridiculous extension…

just because we are just now hearing about it doesn’t mean that dray hasn’t been on the trading block for a while.

Dear NBA GM,

We have been reluctant to trade Andray Blatche for years. At times we had doubts, and significant ones. Yet we held out hope that Blatche as a 47th pick, homegrown talent, and poster child of my supposed high upside, low motor, low basketball IQ picks would eventually have an epiphany and blossom into an multitrack All Star, a poor man’s KG.
We have been extremely understanding and forgiving. Despite soliciting prostitutes, failing to stay in shape during the offseason, complaints about his pay, refusal to enter games, threatening to fight spectators, lap dance parties, altercations with teammates, an on-court aloofness, three driving on suspended license convictions, an embarrassingly unprofessional triple-double attempt, we could not rule out the possibility that the competitive switch in his head would magically flip on and transform Blatche overnight from a maddeningly lazy ne’er-do-well into an elite NBA power forward.
Andray has failed to register a pulse all but one of the first eleven games. His performance has erased all prospects for his success. We have thrown in the towel on him. He is not capable of starting, not even on a squad that is unarguably the worst team in the league.
Gentleman, let’s start the bidding. Don’t all speak up at once! We will only considering trades that send the Wizards back an exciting young prospect. (Crickets)
We might also be willing to consider a trade that yielded substantial savings for the Wizards. (Pin drops)
Thirdly, the Wizards could be amenable to any trade that did not harm our cap flexibility.
In conclusion, we would consider taking on either a bloated contract or a headache, as long as its one or the other and not both.
Let me add that the Wizards might consider a trade that would take on bloated contracts that eat all our cap space, abrasive volatile uncoachable player, and even a hobbled max contract player who refuses to retire. Okay, I see a hand…and by the way, David, I personally think a Williams-Blatche-Love front court unit would be unstoppable.
Minnesota GM and icon David Kahn: “We would want you to pay his salary, all of it.”
Ernie: That’s not possible, the NBA limits the amount of cash in a trade to three million…
Kahn: Not the team, Ern. We want you, you personally to pay his salary."
Ernie: What? You know I don’t have that kind of money…
Kahn crosses arms, sits back in his chair.
Ernie: Fine, I’ll do it, just please take him. Let’s go put this I’m writing…
Kahn: Ernie, geez, I’m just messin with ya, we have are not interested in acquiring Blatche, not under any circumstances. You’re stuck with him.
Ernie: Erm…you just wait. He’s going to prove all of you wrong. He told Mike Lee at the Post not two days ago that he realizes he needs to mature and is ready to do what it takes to become a winner.
(laughter ensues among all 29 GMs)
What? What’s so goddamn funny?
Otis Smith, Magic GM: Nothing, lighten up big guy. Look on the bright side, at least their are no guns involved. Besides, Blatche can’t shoot. All kidding aside, let’s go out and have a bit of fun.
Sam Presti: I saw a flyer for a local titty bar. Sounded good. All-night party hosted by some local sports celebrity. Free lap dances. What else is there? After all, it is a Tuesday night.
(snickers)

please…

That’s what people said when I reacted surprised that everybody on here was so happy with the extension Dray got. I thought it was premature (his original contract would have expired this year and was only half the salary). I also thought we should have used him to trade up in the draft to get another core piece next to John Wall (my favorites being Paul George and Cousins) but people here got really defensive and claimed Blatche was a budding All Star that could’t be traded.

“He is a 18 and 8 guy already, he can pass and block shots” people said. “When he becomes a 20-10 regular and an All Star we have him on the cheap and if not the downside is low since his contract is very reasonable and as a versitile big he will always have some sort of trade value.”

I hated it. I also didn’t like the Seraphin and Booker selections and thought we should have moved up into the lottery as high as we could, using every asset (from Blatche to picks and capspace) to move up. Same this yr, I wanted Kanter and was willing to give up capspace, any player, including McGee, and even a lottery protected 2012 pick. But no, once again Ernie wasn’t agressive enough. Instead we’re stuck with Andray’s corpse and have ‘nice’ rotation players at best in Seraphin, Booker, Vesely, Mack and Singleto.

WE NEED LEGIT CORE PIECES!!!
