I think the question Sean asked should be "Who needs to get more than 1 rebound and 1 Assist tonight?"

From the Starting shooting guard position?

Can't shoot!

The central problem with the Wiz is they can’t put the ball in the hole. Not one player can score with any consistency. Most nights, they shoot 35% and can’t score more than 75 points.

by Bups on Jan 28, 2012 5:44 PM EST reply actions  

Honestly, everything is about John Wall's development

He is the player we built around. We will rise or fall with Wall.

Young and Blatche are likely gone. McGee, if we don’t want to pay 13-16 million, will walk too. Our 2012 pick has to be the second core piece next to John. Vesely, Singleton, Booker, Seraphin and Mack are merely ‘assets’ to use the parlence of our GM, who will be used to acquire a third core piece. The rest of the roster is irrelavent as far as being part of our future.

Is it wrong to be obsessed with the idea

Of trading something – anything – to get Kemba walker as our back up pg. Dude that can come off the bench, distribute well, and just score whenever he wants to (as he progresses, I think he’ll be a hell of a scorer)…..?

I love Kemba Walker. The moves he has with the ball in his hands are absurd.

I actually like Kemba Walker better than John Wall…even though John’s an infinitely better player…..

But still.

Kemba.

you like him better than wall?

That’s strike 1
2 more and you get your man card revocked haha jk I like kemba too but nowhere like john. John will always be humble even when he’s good. I think kemba will be big headed a little

Just my opinion

by no more kwame's in dc on Jan 28, 2012 6:47 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Actually....

on the Bobcat’s blog, they are complaining that Kemba does not distribute like DJ Augustin and has a tendency to jack up a ton of shots…..Actually as a shooting guard, he would be a good fit.

by Aquamaneastfish on Jan 28, 2012 6:49 PM EST up reply actions  

Could Kemba be a shooting guard even though he's 6 ft tall?

And like I said, john is a far better player. I just love Kemba’s jumper…and his ball handling ability is phenomenal.

by DCeee on Jan 28, 2012 6:53 PM EST up reply actions  

thought it would have been INTERESTING

(not necessarily a good idea) if we picked kemba or jimmer and played them at the 2, but had John defend the 2 and kemba or jimmer the 1.

by Llamaman on Jan 28, 2012 6:54 PM EST up reply actions  

I'd rather have Kemba than Jimmer

but I was thinking the same thing. Jimmy is big and athletic enough to guard two’s (even though he doesn’t show it too often). And Kemba could guard the one. Ah dreams… dreams…

Follow me on Twitter: @adamvolo

by adamvolo on Jan 28, 2012 6:59 PM EST up reply actions  

yeah he has a great shot

And I think a 6 ft St would work on our team because we have a 7’ small forward 6’11 power forward and a 7’2 center to help if he gets taken to the whole on.

by no more kwame's in dc on Jan 28, 2012 6:56 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Honestly

I like Mack, but the fact that we drafted him over Selby puzzles me

by AFM on Jan 28, 2012 6:38 PM EST reply actions  

Mack is wayyy more well suited to be a backup

He has what im welling to bet is at least double the bball IQ that shelby has. Their athleticism is worlds apart but with the young player that Wall is, Shelby just wasnt the best option at backup. Plus u get the feeling that Mack is a better influence off the court as well etc etc

by KurisuDevil on Jan 28, 2012 6:52 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, I think Mack is solid and was a good pick.

Selby is way underrated though. IMO. People forgot about him during college after he had to sit out those games.
I would trade Crawford for him straight up

by AFM on Jan 28, 2012 6:58 PM EST up reply actions  

I wouldn't

you’re getting a very similar player in Selby. He had hype in highschool and then even though he was suspended when he played he stunk it up at Kansas. No thanks. Give me Mack.

No Henderson tonight

The Wizards get a golden opportunity to pick up a road win and get off the schneid earlier than last season… which isn’t saying a lot but for this team its progress, I guess.

Is defensive rebounding. I’d say more but I’m on an iPhone. D rebounding more needed than shooting.

And there it was

the rarest of rare footage of a semi-screen by Javale. He should really widen his stance, it would make it so much harder for the defender to get around him. He gets as skinny as possible it seems like

But this is all on Blatche again. He’s letting Mullens get his confidence up. Dray has allowed:

-Uncontested face up that went in and out

-Next face-up that Mullens knocked down, wide open

-Mullens made 1 quick move and swooped in for the hook while Blatche didn’t even bother to recover

-Gets back slow on defense and allows the oop

Horrible sequence of events (and I haven’t even mentioned the missed shots and travel)

So how much are Nets tickets going for online? One cent.

That’s right—tickets for Sunday’s game against the Toronto Raptors are going for $0.01 on StubHub. As of 1:30 this afternoon, nine separate listings—totalling 20 tickets—were offering upper bowl seats at one cent apiece.

Apparently, courtside seats are going for $20 sometimes…

“I’ll shoot when I have a better jumper. For now, drive lanes and make the extra pass.”

I feel like that’s what’s running through his head. It’d be nice to see him take some jumpers though, even throw up a couple fade-aways. He looks like the type of player who’d shoot fades better than his set shot from what I’ve seen of him shooting the ball in europe.

Its making the right decisions and making stops, playing strong and heady defense. he does those things. There was no one at the time that would be available I’d pick at 6.

If our others players are scoring you won’t even notice he isn’t.

Ha! Has anybody seen this on Sheridan Hoops?

New York Knicks receive: Joe Johnson and Ramon Sessions

Atlanta Hawks receive: Rashard Lewis, Nick Young, and Iman Shumpert

Washington Wizards receive: Amar’e Stoudemire and Marvin Williams

Cleveland Cavaliers receive: Andray Blatche

Why the Knicks do it

They would plug their hole at the point guard spot with a youngster that both Mike D’Antoni and his older brother, Dan, know very well. And although Joe Johnson has a whopping 5 years and $100M left on his contract, it’s only one more year than Stoudemire. Joe has shown the ability to hit big shots and can create off the dribble just as well as he can catch and shoot. This trade would leave the Knicks very thin up front, but Rome wasn’t built in a day. They’d need to fill the hole that Stoudemire’s departure would create, but they’d plug two in return.


Why the Hawks do it

It’s all about the money. Over the next five years, the Hawks will pay the combination of Marvin Williams and Joe Johnson a ridiculous $130 million. The Hawks also have long term money tied up in Al Horford and Josh Smith, but certainly cannot afford to pay $20-$30 million in luxury tax bills each year. Something has to give. For the Hawks, being committed to paying the combination of Rashard Lewis, Nick Young, and Iman Shumpert $50 million over the next four years has to be more appealing than the aforementioned $130 million option. In Lewis, they get a 3-point shooter who can help space the floor and in Young, they get a young shooting guard whose stock is rising because of his ability to score. We are not quite sure what Shumpert is yet, but he’s well known in Atlanta, having played his college ball for Georgia-Tech. This would represent a good haul for the Hawks. With Jeff Teague, Josh Smith, and Al Horford, the Hawks—though they might step back in the immediate future—would end up younger, fresher, and with more flexibility over the long term.


Why the Wizards do it

The team is a mess and they need a few veterans who actually play. Even more so, they need someone for John Wall to run with. Stoudemire and Williams both play well in transition and would both make fairly reliable targets for Wall. Though the deal would cost them Nick Young, they’re very likely to lose him this summer. Last summer, he felt disrespected by the Wizards lowball contract offer and accepted the one year qualifying offer. He’ll be unrestricted this summer and isn’t likely to return. The toughest part of the Wizards making this deal would be getting owner Ted Leonsis to invest serious money in Stoudemire and Williams. But if he has any intention of trying to build a winner in DC, he’ll have to pony up at some point.


Why the Cavaliers do it

The drafting of Kyrie Irving made Ramon Sessions expendable. They could jettison him and get Andray Blatche in return. Blatche might be a bit hard headed, but if Byron Scott was able to get positive production out of Kenyon Martin back in New Jersey, I think he can reach Blatche. With a reliable front court talent to play alongside Irving, I think the Cavaliers would be better having done their part in this four-teamer.
