Hey guy's I'm a wizard's fan wandered over to gauge your interest in our assets.

 

What do you think of #6, Blatche, and Crawford for #2 and #20

Kanter is too similar to Love and Williams is too similar to Beasley. Blatche fits better, is an NBA veteran, and at the same time you can add Biyombo at 6 which covers all of your front court needs. Crawford completes your guard rotation. How do you guys value Blatche? If this isn't the deal do we have any pieces that would interest you? I'll put anything on the table outside of Wall and Mcgee.

T’Wolves:———————————-Wizards:
PG Rubio———————————-PG Wall
CG Crawford—————————- CG 18th Pick
SG Johnson——————————SG Young 
SF Beasley, Webster——————SF Lewis, Howard
PF Love————————————-F Booker, 20th Pick
F/C Blatche——————————-PF Kanter, Seraphin
C Darko, 6 Pick(Biyombo)————C Mcgee

Wizards might have to take on a guy like Webster to make the deal work not sure if that is a deal breaker...

Is Andray a legitimate piece of a championship team?

I've heard everything from All-Star to trade him for a first round pick.

 

In this list of top young power forwards where would you rank him?

http://www.scoresreport.com/2008/12/19/the-nbas-top-10-young-power-forwards/

 

"1. Chris Bosh, Raptors
Age: 24
PER: 22.67
Bosh has averaged at least 22 points and nine rebounds in each of the last four seasons. He shoots 50% from the field and 83% from the line, but I’d like to see more blocks (0.8) from a guy his size. Will he rendezvous with LeBron at MSG in 2010? They would make a devastating duo.

2. Josh Smith, Hawks
Age: 23
PER: 16.23
Smith is having kind of an off year so far as he works himself back from an ankle injury. It’s a tough call between Smith and the next guy on this list, but I have to go with J-Smoov due to his versatility.

3. LaMarcus Aldridge, Blazers
Age: 23
PER: 17.96
He’s not very strong down low, but for a big guy he can really shoot the ball. He loves the face up jumper, and looks to be a 17/7 guy for the foreseeable future.

4. Paul Millsap, Jazz
Age: 23
PER: 19.96
Millsap is averaging 18 points and 11 boards (shooting 57% from the field) filling in for the injured Carlos Boozer, which makes some wonder if the Jazz should bother to re-sign Boozer when he opts o ut after the season.

5. Michael Beasley, Heat
Age: 19
PER: 14.95
I see Beasley as more of a small forward, but he’s listed as a PF. He is averaging 14 points and five boards in 27 minutes. I’d like to see better assist (1.0) numbers, but that should come with time.

6. Marvin Williams, Hawks
Age: 22
PER: 15.74
Williams is another guy that can play either forward position. He has really improved his long-range accuracy this season (+29%), but is still scoring at about the same rate. With the departure of Josh Childress, I thought Williams was going to take a big step forward this season, but his numbers are pretty much the same across the board.

7. Charlie Villanueva, Bucks
Age: 24
PER: 17.49
Can Charlie V play for Scott Skiles? So far, the answer seems to be yes, even though Skiles prefers Luc Richard Mbah a Moute’s defense and rebounding. Villanueva is still a below average defensive player, but Villanueva can really light it up. He’s going to be a restricted free agent this summer, so it will be interesting to see what the Bucks do with him over the next 9 months.

8. Carl Landry, Rockets
Age: 25
PER: 19.19
For his minutes (21.3), Landry is one of the most productive big men in the game. He’s a great interior defender and his FG% is stellar (58%).

9. Brandon Bass, Mavericks
Age: 23
PER: 13.00
His biggest problem is that he plays the same position as Dirk Nowitzki. He’s strong as hell and has a nice face up game. It will be interesting to see how he flourishes once he’s somewhere where he’ll get 30+ minutes a game.

10. Kevin Love, Timberwolves
Age: 20
PER: 15.17
Granted, his 40% shooting is brutal, especially for a power forward, but Love is posting better than eight points and eight boards in just 24 minutes a game. With his passing ability, I thought that his assist numbers (1.2) would be better. Right now, it’s definitely looking like Memphis got the better of the Mayo-Love trade, but he should develop into a solid starting power forward."

 

I rank him 2nd or 3rd giving us a very valuable young piece towards a contender or a fantastic trade chip.

Sad thought. I look back at the nba 2k10 roster I made way back at the start of the season and cringe. I overated caron (88), foye(82), blatche(84), and young(80) by a good deal. Really, I overrated their ability to mesh.

Javaris Crittenton, Nick Young, Mike James for Rip Hamilton

Ok, so the wizards are off to a really shaky start. The locker room chemistry, something we have never had problems with seems to be breaking apart. So why trade for another jump shooter?

Our sg production has been pretty inconsistent. Rips played in dc before. He's played in Flips system so he knows all the little tricks. He can run for days so he will wear opposing twos down. Catch and shoot guy for Gil and a UConn guy for Caron. He's got a ring.

For the wiz these guys weren't going to get any run with us. The Pistons aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Rips got 3 good years left at the most anyways. Get Rip off the books and continue the rebuilding process.

While I think we need a consistent big the most, even before Twan's return Dray had started to come down to earth, if we can add consistent veteran 2 while giving up guys who don't play it might be worth it. We still have Foye, Miller, and Dom along with Blatche to trade for a big. The biggest draw backs are adding 3 more guaranteed years and carrying 4 sgs (Foye, Miller, DSteves). Its a little more appealing then the SJax trade I believe.

What do you guys think?
