Tonight, a little birdie told me that Dallas is one team that might jump out with an offer for Blatche. That makes some sense because I read a report out of Dallas a few weeks back stating that Blatche would be a possible target for the Mavs if other options fell through. Stay tuned.
If you have seen him play then you wouldn't be as confused as you are. He's a freakish athlete along the lines of Garnett. He's tall, long, and can play every position. He can shoot from anywhere on the floor, including 3's, rebound, block shots, steal, play aggressive defense, etc. He's really a jack-of-all-trades.
But of course, none of that is polished. If he practiced hard he could be something really special.

If we can steal him from Washington, good. He's got loads of potential, and he just started getting minutes last year. He's only what, 20? I'd love to pick him up.
We've got Pop, Ager and JJ in that line already... not to mention the incoming rookie class. Acquiring the guy would be bad news for all those mentioned, no?
Of all the commodities in the NBA, an athletic big that can dominate down low (at least defensivley) is what this team could use – freeing up the lane for the other role players – including Dirk.
This dude would be an absolute superstar if his knowledge could catch up to his ability.

Now Cubes can just buy-out Damp's contract and let him walk....
Ok then who's going to defend Tim Duncan or Yao Ming (and Shaq maybe...)? Who's going to do the little things Diop can't? Like blocking people out and setting good picks? Diop is decent and all but still makes a lot of small mistakes, mistakes we can't afford in the playoffs.
With no D irk, we need someone like Dampier to make us look like a decent defensive team in the paint.
Mavs may show interest in Blatche
