With Miami out of the loop, Los Angeles has stepped into it since they have lost their starting point guard, Smush Parker. The talks have not furthered enough to include players or picks, but the negotiations are underway.

Here is an interesting question: Bring Kwame back?

Although he was a huge bust in Washington, he has improved some. He's still young and the potential is still there. LA already has Chris Mihm and their improving young center, Andrew Bynum. So would they be willing to trade Kwame back? Would WE be will to trade for Kwame?

I don't know why we are mentioned in this. We brought in Derek Fisher, which is why we let Smush go. Fisher is signed for three years, then we have two young PGs in Farmar and Crittenton.

I'm sure we would be willing to trade you back Kwame, but since we already used our MLE on Fisher, we wouldn't be able to sign Navarro...

Last day and chance for the Wizards to get something done with Juan Carlos Navarro's buyout. There is multiple teams that are still contacting the Wiz about him, but Memphis seems to be in the front of the pack. Gasol really would like his Spain National Team teammate to play besides him in Memphis. Supposedly talks have been serious since yesterday and going into today.

Sportstalk 980 said the deadline may actually not be a real deadline, meaning trade talks may continue for weeks to come.

It's official: Navarro to Memphis for unknown pieces.

Quote:

Juan Carlos Navarro will play the next season next to Pau Gasol in the Memphis Grizzlies after agreement reached between the tax exemption of NBA and the player, who will have to pay his clause of rescission, of 3.5 million euros.

Concluded the term that Barcelona had granted the player so that it reached an agreement with some equipment of NBA (Washington Wizards it maintained his rights, but it was not interested in him), the club informed of which the escort already has reached an agreement with the Grizzlies.

The actual website is in Spanish, so I had to use a translator to decipher it. I wonder who and/or what we got for him.

If it was a 2nd round pick, then it would be pointless. We better have gotten something decent out of it.

I read elsewhere its for Memphis 08 (unprotected) 1st round pick.

edit; not sure its Lottery protected or not.

So he's about Juan Dixon's size and wouldn't play in the league unless he was on his best friend's team. I think we can do without.

No, he would of played wherever the chance. It just came down to Memphis giving the best offer out of the crop. I'm sure he just wanted to get the opportunity to come to the NBA and show that his Euro career was no joke.

If we got a 2008 first rounder then that would be fine with me. I don't expect the Grizzlies to be that much better this season thus giving us a solid pick (unless it is lottery protected then that will just plain suck).

It will be interesting to see the details of the pick. If it is for instance, top 3 protected this year, unprotected next year that would be a very good deal.

With a healthy gasol an improving Gay and Conley added to the mix I'd expect the grizz to be a solid team. Pick isn't gonna be tjhat high.

Navarro can play there's a chance not giving this guy a look could blow up in the Wizards face. Not like our back pg's are that big a deal. Daniels contract is starting to look worse and worse everyday.

Washington has cheap ownership. No offense to Deshawn, he's a decent player, but if you're passing someone up - without even giving them a chance - because "we already got Stevenson", then you're cheap.

It was unclear last night whether the first-round pick acquired by the Wizards will be in the 2008 for '09 draft. According to sources, the draft pick likely will be lottery-protected, meaning Memphis would keep the pick if it falls in the top 14.

Should the Grizzlies, who finished 22-60 last season, wind up in the lottery again next season, the draft pick likely would shift to the following year and be protected for only the top three selections, meaning the Wizards would keep the pick as long as Memphis didn't wind up with one of the top three picks.

I'm not too excited about next years draft except for Roy Hibbert and possible OJ Mayo, whom both will go early anyways. So I hoping the Grizzlies do fall into the lottery thus giving us a better pick the following year, baring Memphis doesn't get even worse.

I hope they fall in the lottery.
