"Ernie Grunfeld Special! Ariza and Okafor for Rashard Lewis and #46"
Wed Jun-20-12 01:38 PM by SoulHonky

          

And this is why you don't keep a lame duck general manager.

The Wizards add two overpaid players, one who I guess will no backup or play out of position at PF, and don't really get that much better. Lewis was also their best shot at making a big deal. If you're going to try to win games, don't bite at the first deal that comes your way like this one.

I'm not sure why anyone would think, "Yeah, let's clog our payroll with the guys who couldn't help Chris Paul win. That'll be just what John Wall needs."

Finally, I also think that this means that Bradley Beal will be their #3 pick and I'm not sure that he and Wall are the best fit. Although at least Beal means that opponents might not be able to get away with just sitting in a zone all day (that is, if Beal can shoot better than he did during the college season.)

On the bright side, it means that they can finally amnesty Blatche.

Jun 20th 2012

Wiz are looking like a capped out 30 win team.
Jun 20th 2012
6
      You say capped out, but you weren't getting any big fish anyway.
Jun 20th 2012

Jun 20th 2012

           This roster can contend for #8 in the East, chuckles:
Jun 20th 2012
13
                Replace Blatche with Seraphin
Jun 20th 2012
16
                     or milwakee even
Jun 20th 2012
18
           Kajun, be honest, you're thrilled about this deal.
Jun 20th 2012
12
                Oh no doubt, we are partying. Lol.
Jun 20th 2012
15
Great for both parties IMO
Jun 20th 2012

LOL, nobody's going there.
Jun 20th 2012

Jun 20th 2012
26
           Oh. You took what I said literally.
Jun 20th 2012
33
                They just need a guy who can score 15-18ppg
Jun 20th 2012
43
I like the deal
Jun 20th 2012
10
That's all they do

ariza becoming that samsonite man (c) fashawn
Jun 20th 2012
17
So do they now deal Harden for the #3?
Jun 20th 2012
20
Two defensive minded vets with winning experience. Good.
Jun 20th 2012
21

Jun 20th 2012
22
uconn?
Jun 20th 2012
23
oh great...can't wait for the next melo hate post.
Jun 20th 2012
24
Okafor and Ariza have more combined than the whole Wiz roster.
Jun 20th 2012
27
      Aundray Blatche has more playoff experience than Okafor
Jun 20th 2012
30
           Probably shouldn't bring up 'Shard's playoff exp with Ariza's
Jun 20th 2012
34
                So are you upset that Anthony Davis won't be mentored by those two?
Jun 20th 2012
35
                     Okafor and Ariza are not salary dump players dude.
Jun 20th 2012
36
                          So they aren't salary dumps but you're dancing 'bout dumping them
Jun 20th 2012
38
                          We are in a different position than the Wiz.
Jun 20th 2012
39
                          They really don't though
Jun 20th 2012
41
                          both teams improved their situations, so he should be happy.
Jun 21st 2012
54
                          just wanted to point out that oak hasnt had double digit rebs since cha
Jun 20th 2012
46
                               9.5 per game a year ago...cmon
Jun 20th 2012
47
                                    so we agree, he's not a double double machine.
Jun 21st 2012
53
                                         Wat.
Jun 21st 2012
60
                                              so 23 dd in 72 games 2 years ago makes him a dd machine today?
Jun 21st 2012
63
                                                   Are you just stuck on the semanctics of the word "machine?"
Jun 21st 2012
64
                                                        so basically post 53?
Jun 21st 2012

                                                        RE: Are you just stuck on the semanctics of the word "machine?"
Jun 21st 2012
69
                                                             yep, they are going to suck ass...
Jun 21st 2012
73
                                                             And they will be better for it.
Jun 21st 2012
75
                                                                  I think that they would technically have been better without the trade
Jun 21st 2012
79
                                                                       None of those guys will be free agents
Jun 21st 2012
81
                                                                       Please tell us more...
Jun 21st 2012
83
                                                                            Stern also snitched on the Saints so Hornets would be only game in town
Jun 21st 2012
84
                                                             Bwahaha...you're still mad about something?
Jun 21st 2012
74
it was a priority, but it also was an asset
Jun 21st 2012
50
I'm good with the move too
Jun 21st 2012
68
      I don't like that "Who's gonna play here?" attitude you got.
Jul 05th 2012
93
Still can't believe rashard lewis and that monstrous deal
Jun 20th 2012
25
the Lakers should take Ariza/Okafor/Blache for Gasol and Blake
Jun 20th 2012
28
OKC ain't winning the chip so how are Deron/Kobe supposed to
Jun 20th 2012
29
bynum for deron makes sense but we can get more than that for Pau
Jun 20th 2012
31
How does adding Blatche turn the value from 'Shard to Gasol?
Jun 20th 2012
32
Grunfeld First Tried To Get Rudy Gay & A Bag Of Dildos But Was Denied
Jun 20th 2012
37
These little gm deals for huge whack contracts are hilarious
Jun 20th 2012
40
I like Hollinger when he drops the mathlete gimmick (swipe)
Jun 20th 2012
42
this is a dumb ass article
Jun 20th 2012
44
      Blatche? People really didn't pay attention to the Wiz last year
Jun 20th 2012
45
      the wizards arent a playoff team
Jun 21st 2012
49
           NO isn't either but the wiz at least can make a run
Jun 21st 2012
59
I will give my hate an asterisk
Jun 20th 2012
48
Nene's health issues will prevent that from happening
Jun 21st 2012
51
      I was stunned when they brought him and Wittman back
Jun 21st 2012
52
           Leonsis is loyal to a fault.
Feb 12th 2013
101
I don't hate the move. I think you're missing key points here
Jun 21st 2012
55
no reason to assume a better deal was coming.
Jun 21st 2012
58
      It's hard to get a worse deal
Jun 21st 2012
61
           probably better deals available is kinda hard to defend.
Jun 21st 2012
66
                I'm with you on this.
Jun 21st 2012
67
                If Ariza is a mentor, that team is fucked.
Jun 21st 2012
71
                I think Ariza is overrated and Okafor will struggle at the 4
Jun 21st 2012
72
                is ariza overrated outside of OKS?
Jun 21st 2012
78
                     Some people are acting like he's a difference maker
Jun 21st 2012
82
                So I guess Blatche will be back then
Jun 21st 2012
76
                     i would not be surprised if he is not amnestied.
Jun 21st 2012
77
The Wiz exchanged 1 dude who doesn't play for 2 that do.
Jun 21st 2012
56
The only bad part about this is that they'll prob pass on MKG.
Jun 21st 2012
57
I don't think he was ever really an option
Jun 21st 2012
62
      With that high a pick you take the best player available
Jun 21st 2012
70
I can't believe in 1 day there's this much dialogue about the Wiz lol
Jun 21st 2012
80
So seeing the moves the Nets have made...
Jul 05th 2012
85
lol, baby steps, you go from lottery to a 7-8 seed, THEN to a 4-5
Jul 05th 2012
86
Ninjas in that Nets post talking championship n shit lol...
Jul 05th 2012
88
      The Nets have some interesting pieces, I think a lot hinges on Wall...
Jul 05th 2012
90
           Wall was never really a dancing and partying dude. Everything does hinge
Jul 05th 2012
91
After seeing what this FA market has brought I'm 100% on board with Erni...
Jul 05th 2012
87
      My main problem is I wanted Blatche gone...
Jul 05th 2012
89
           Andray Blatche amnesty day is July 11. No way he's on this roster
Jul 05th 2012
