Just say this at the very beginning.

Some of us have not had the OPPORTUNITY to be the well-informed, insightful fans that others have been. Some of us have had our lives TURNED UPSIDE DOWN since 2007. It's pretty hard to worry about basketball when you're looking for a paycheck and a future.

Jefferson, Bonner, and Ian for Dwight Howard! [/PROACTIVE]

U.S. Dollars.

Plus both teams have to agree. No reason for them to trade. Elson is just a subpar Ian, no reason there.

Bigs don't get playtime anyways since 2006.

Rasho looks good on the rare chance that he gets to play. Even though he does not play much, Colangelo does not want to trade him. His presence is important to the team and Bryan has said how much it was missed last season.

Is Rasho happy even though he's not playing?

I think that Rasho wouldn't be a "cure-all" but he would certainly be MILES better than the bigs that we have now. AND he knows the system and has some offensive talent.

If we got them once, it would seem feasible that we could get them again. Right?

I have never been a capologist, but it doesn't seem like it would be IMPOSSIBLE.

Anyway, just a thought.

Ever since he cracked his orbital bone near his eye he has not been the same.

He was fine in 2007, created a good tall ball D when combined with Dunkan.
Probably refused to blow Pop and/or saw the same nudie pictures of Pop-n-Fins that Ian and Ime saw.

Well if he's good in NBA2K10 then I'm sure he will be a good pickup.

Stupid ass.

www.hoopshype.com is saying that wizards are searching to deal butler and stevenson in a package deal ... their combined salaries are 14 million dollars as is Jefferson's contract... I wonder if this deal is possible (I don't know all that CBA crap) cuz at this point, they can't be worse than jefferson ... i dont know those 2 players much but here's how hoopshype describes them, I wonder if it's accurate :

Caron Butler: http://hoopshype.com/players/caron_butler.htm

DeShawn Stevenson :http://hoopshype.com/players/deshawn_stevenson.htm

What do you guys think ?

doubt washington does this i would love it though..pipe dream

.... *sigh*

This suggestion transcends stupidity dude

I think you need u sum stfu juice and the search option.

:lmao

Butler? Not a chance

:lol @ this trade.

Come on. Why would Wizard want RJ contract?

well if you guys think this is a pipe dream maybe we can add something to sweeten the offer or we can offer a different combo

If the Wizards are searching character guys around which they can rebuild their team and their reputation, I say they might be interested cuz Jefferson is known to be a positive presence in the locker room and his contract is expiring next year while butler's is expiring in 3 years

It's probably a pipe dream as you say. The reason why the Wizards are dumping Caron is due to the fact they aren't going anywhere in the near future. So they're trying to get under the salary cap and start hoarding draft picks.

Your trade would be possible if not for the fact that RJ has 1 more year on his contract. The Wizards have no interest in paying that $15 million next year when they're trying to rebuild.

So in a sense, your trade doesn't help them in what they are trying to do. A trade to the Rockets for McGrady makes sense for them due to TMac's expiring $20 million and they're trying to shove Stevenson's contract on the Rockets as part of the deal.

Manu's expiring $10 million is worth more to the Wizards and it's my guess that he'll be a part of any dealings with the Wizards.

...and a 1st rounder and Splitter might get it done, but it still leaves a big hole up front. Substitute Haywood for Stephenson, and add a small expiring, and there's a slim chance it might get done, although we might lose Haywood after the season since he's an FA, and we'd be giving away a very good young centre in Splitter, which is basically mortgaging the future for now.

Would Butler and Haywood make us relevant again? Hmmmm... have to think about that, but it might.

dude nice reply ... I really like the idea of Butler + Haywood for Jefferson, Mahimni, Splitter and a draft pick (or not)

I think wizards get 2 prospects to replace haywood in the post and a proven veteran who's been to the finals twice, a positive influence and might fit better in their system ... of course we get butler and a real center

I wouldn't mind adding bogans to the mix if it can help sweeten the offer we have too many wingmen anyways

You'd have to trade Duncan to get someone to take Jefferson at this point.
