Then Jeffries could be ideal could'n he?Quote:

Jeffries could be. But since he's restricted, it might be hard to get him.Quote:

No to Jeffries. This guy is an average role player and will be paid the full MLE.
I take Jumaine Jones for $10M/3years over Jeffries for $30M/5years.
Rasual Butler, New Orleans is the sleeper of the group. Always capable of hitting a big three and athletic.

eh?
If anyone is unproven it's Scola.Quote:

Giving nearly the full MLE to a player like Scola is much more of a risk than giving it to someone like Jeffries.
Agreed.
But I don't get all the hype about Jared Jeffries.
The guy has been a bust, and is a DECENT player.
Rasual Butler, when given PT, is a 3pt shooting stud.
Good D also, comes from the house of Stan Van Gundy and Riley.
Also, Id research a trade for S Jax who like has been said is about 6'9 and VERY long armed, and is a big time clutch shooter slasher who draws fouls and draws the D.
Rasual Butler, or Stephen Jackson.
Get it done boys :tu
Jared Jeffries a Bust?
Possibly. He was taken 11th, which is a lottery pick.
However, thats why I don't believe he will get the full MLE....he was not outstanding in the playoffs, and he has not been dominant in his 4 years as a pro nor did he have a break out season like a Bobby Simmons last year.
Washington currently has a log jam with Caron and Hayes at the SF, and have a lot of money tied up in Jamison, Haywood, and Thomas.....so,they could let Jeffries walk eventhough restricted.....ala...Nazr.
The guy is 6-10, long arms, quick on his feet, can run the floor, and is capable of scoring, but his offense is inconsistent....mainly due to line-up changes, minutes, etc...
His defense is nothing special nor is it horrible. We have seen guys in here who have not been of the defensive demeanor and get the job done....SJax, G-Rob, and Finley.
With the Spurs defensive scheme's....Duncan's ability to make teammates better, and already offensive minded guards in Parker and Ginobili....there is not much pressure for Jeffries.
Call me an idiot if you'd like for believing in this kid, but not many believed in Boris Diaw, when some thought he was too passive, had zero offense, and practically could not even get off the bench in wretched Atlanta.....a change in team and leadership can go a long way for a player trying to find himself in a comfortable system....ala....Jeffries.
Speedy and Devean George for his tenacity on defense will help this ball club
Rasual butler is a nice player but how does he improve our team? he's the same height and weight as bruce and he had a hard time with Bonzi and Dirk how do you see butler doing? Basicly we'd be in the same situation as we were this post season, not enough height to guard dirk and not enough weight to effectively box out big SFs like bonzi.
Butler just doesn't solve our problems and neither does Sjax, we need a guy like Jeffries. He can guard the 2, 3, 4 and 5 which means he's big enough to box out guys like Wells and quick enough to D up Dirk. Don't call him a bust just yet, he's only 24 years old and never was a big part of the wiz offense getting just 5 shots a game. He could pull a diaw and double his production on the right team.

Some Wiz fans are saying that Jared Jeffries will be gone.
Either they are looking for a pick or a player in return....and a newly signed Jeffries will be yours.
So, I wonder if they would be interested in Nazr.....or possibly the rights to Luis Scola?
Actually Jeffries is listed at 6-11 240 lbs
I was lookin at his stats, he has improved pretty much in each category. Especially the block category goin from .3, .3, to .5 and then this year .7.
Alot of reporters including M.Wilbon in washington think the wiz will let Jeffries walk, not because they don't like him but because the wiz already have 13 players under contract(the max is 15 i think) and they need bigs who can score inside. He's restricted so the spurs may just not wish to take a chance on the wiz matching or they might have someone completely different in mind.Quote:

Diaw's stats in Atlanta were not staggering either, and the kid blew up to be a huge threat.
Jeffries is young at only 24....Popovich is a great coach at developing...and all the Star Power is here for Jeffries to blossom....and he would not take long to blossom like a Euro barely coming in.....he's already been in the league, so it might be a Diaw situation where he just blows up.
Exactly, the Wiz are not in a good situation to where they can sign him up....
The cards might be in our favor.....he would be a huge steal for us.....talent like him can not be found easily.....dude, is 6-10 or 6-11....and can guard big SG to PF's.....he's just a jem that needs some polishing....
Jeffries is my man this summer.....I'm rooting for him until he signs with the Wiz, Spurs, or another team....
Kurt Thomas (6'9) seems to be the odd-man out in Phoenix with Diaw exploding and Amare coming back this summer. I'm just not sure that Rasho, Nazr or even Scola would be enough to interest Phoenix.
The only one who sticks out to me is Ben Wallace. At least right now. How much longer can he go is what I am concerned about.
Butler can't play a lick of D.Quote:

ben want 70-80mill or sumthing that starts at 12mill a season
It's more of a case that Marion seems to be the odd-man out with Diaw's emergence and Amare coming back. PHO would want to keep Thomas around because of his rebounding, ability to defend big post players (despite his relatively small stature), and ability to drain the 15-foot jumper a la Charles Oakley. With Diaw, Stoudemire, and Thomas possibly being set next year at SF, PF, and C respectively, Marion might be redundant.Quote:

korii correct me on this one, meal payouts for game dayz are not counted towards there salary right? so he can spend half or nothin and save it to buy crack :D
