I think Blatche/Booker for Love would be a great trade for the Wizards. They get a better shooting 4 with inside game that Blatche seems to shy away from. If we have a 4 that wants to take 20 foot jumpers, I would rather have Love doing that. Also, with the rebouding deficiency this team has, Love would be the perfect addition (see his 23/24 the other night).

Blatche and Booker would be nice pieces for the T'Wolves to add as Blatche is signed to a long-term reasonable deal for someone with his talents. Booker would be an Tolliver clone, so maybe Nick Young could be subbed.

Thoughts?

Is anyone else worried that Nick Young, Andray Blatche, and Javale McGee will never be really good players?

Despite loving Javale (I have a McGee jersey for God's sake), I never really see him being much more than a poor man's Tyson Chandler. I just don't see the ability to learn or complete an offensive game and he will rely on his "mad hops" until he eventually blows out a knee.

I have mixed feelings about Bltache. I feel like he will be the Zach Randolph of the Wizards for the next 5 years. I never really see him taking the next step to becoming a KG type personality and will probably never see his D get better. I have a feeling he will at some point have a meltdown and reduce his trade value. Until then 18 - 7 - 3 will be good, right?

As for Nick Young...I hate him. I really do. He looks rediculous out there and despite being supremely athletic, he just never quite "gets it". He could have a Ray Allen type stroke if he would just learn from the Rip Hamilton approach of running off screens and taking upright jumpers. No highlight dunks, no fading jumpers, no rediculous 3's.

I am looking forward to John Wall though, I just don't think these guys will be of much help in 5 years. But watching the Wall-McGee-thunder dunk sequence will be fun.

I have loved this team for 5 years now and have fallen deeply for each and every player. With that being said, its time to ship out Caron Butler, Nick Young, and Mike James and his lovely expiring contract.

A recent run on the ole' ESPN trade machine revealed that this trade would indeed work by both NBA rules and the contract situation of both teams.

Wiz get:

Shane Battier

Chuck Hayes

Trevor Ariza

Rockets get:

Caron Butler

Nick Young

Mike James
