Grunfeld looks determined to ship Etan out.

Wolfman_Jack · 07-12-2007, 01:39 PM

I wouldn't mind seeing the Heat work something out, especially if Zo retires. Navarro and Wade could make a nice team for a lot of years. Etan seemed to be coming into his own there for awhile last year until getting hurt and now he might just need a change of scenery. He and Doleac could be good support for Shaq.

I'm torn between trading Navarro to get rid of Etan and signing Deshawn or not signing Deshawn and keeping Navarro and Etan.

Navarro seems like an instant offense kind-of-guy. He has a tremendous shooting touch and range. But our team is already a offensive powerhouse. So why would we refuse to sign a solid defender and scorer in Stevenson for a lackluster defender.

So torn!

Hedo Turkoglu is available.

Anything to get rid of Etan. I think it is a mistake to resign Deshawn for 15 mil, and I would love to have JCN. However, if we get rid of that lazy-eyed poet, I would be more than happy.

The Washington Wizards are considering a potential trade with the Heat that would include future draft picks in exchange for the rights to Spanish star guard Juan Carlos Navarro.

The Wizards have been shopping Navarro's rights for weeks but reportedly want to include the 6-3, 170-pound guard in a package deal.

...

he Wizards reportedly had been holding out for a team that also would take on one of the bloated contracts belonging to center Brendan Haywood (three years/$16.5 million), guard Antonio Daniels (three/$18.6 million) or forward Etan Thomas (three/$20.6 million).

To execute such a deal, the Heat would have to send a player or players due similar salaries for at least next season, such as Williams, Antoine Walker or Udonis Haslem. It's unclear if the Wizards are interested in either Williams or Walker, and the Heat has been reluctant to offer Haslem in the deal.

I would be furious if we gave away JCN for Walker. He's an aging chucker who still hasn't found a true niche in anywhere but Boston.

Jason Williams may be getting old also, but at least he still is a true point guard. One that could either back-up Arenas or start at PG with Arenas at SG. That would be a talented backcourt.

Udonis Haslem would be a steal. If we were able to give away JCN and one of our fat contracts (Etan, Haywood, Daniels) for him then Ernie is a mastermind. Haslem is still young and hustles on both sides of the floor. But the Heat have supposedly kept Haslem off limits.

Going to be interesting how this pans out.

I'd love to get Udonis Haslem. I remember he hit that buzzer beater to beat us which was just crushing so might as well bring him to our side and his size would be a valuable asset.

Dualie · 07-20-2007, 11:17 AM

Udonis Haslem would be a steal. I doubt that the Heat or Udonis himself would like the move though.

Zuca · 07-22-2007, 02:46 PM

I would still try to trade Etan and Haywood (sending Brendan to Detroit for Nazr, since Etan and Haywood can't be in the same team) to Sacramento for Brad Miller.

As for Daniels, you can try to send him to Orlando for Arroyo with Dooling or Garrity (expiring contracts). Better than just giving him away with Navarro.

And no news on Blatche?

**afireinside** · 07-22-2007, 10:48 PM

I'm wondering what is going on with the Blatche negotiations. I haven't heard that much that past few days and it worries me. I hope the Wizards are taking these negotiations seriously and not as if he is just some player we could afford to lose.

It could also be a good thing considering no other team is willing to overpay to get Andray Blatche. The Wizards also have the option of re-signing Blatche even if another team offers him a contract since he is a restricted free agent. The worst case scenarios for the Wizards if another team uses the entire MLE to sign Blatche , or if he signs an one year tender, allowing him to become an unrestricted free agent next year.

Looks like we will have resolution to this situation soon:

The Washington Wizards have until the end of next week to sign guard Juan Carlos Navarro or trade his NBA rights to another team, according to a source close to Navarro.

Navarro's team in Spain, FC Barcelona, delivered the ultimatum. Navarro, who was drafted by the Wizards in the second round in 2002, has been a star for Barcelona for several seasons, but negotiated his way out of his contract earlier this summer because he wanted to play in the NBA.

adarsh1 · 07-26-2007, 11:50 AM

I'd rather send him back to Spain than trading him to the Heat for a first rounder.

Wilt_The_Stilt · 07-27-2007, 02:38 PM

You could trade Haywood and Navarro to the heat for Doleac, Simien and a pick. Or to the Cavs for Marshall and Wesley.

Big Mike · 07-27-2007, 06:12 PM

I say if they can't send him west or to a crappy East team than send him back home and cut your losses. No need to make stupid deals with Miami or Cleveland (teams already better than the Wizards) and really get nothing back for him, any deals with those teames will make them instantly better while the Wizards wouldn't be. I think their crazy for even considering a deal with Miami.
