I say we need to retain a bunch of players: Navarro, Blatche, Daniels, Hayes and Stevenson. Sure it's a lot of guards, but we need the fire power. Then we bring in Nick Young and Oleksiy along with a couple of free agent big men.

Can't make much of a arguement here since J-Hayes pretty much sucked last year but I still rather have him on the team instead of Ruffin (its really not saying much).

This guy was the best player on Spain after Pau Gasol. Without Gasol, they blew out the Greece National team (the same team that beat Team USA with Wade, Lebron, and Carmello). His play is like Gilbert Arenas since he has the capability of hitting threes or driving to the basket. Granted, he still has to prove himself in the NBA but so do most European players.

Plus Hayes is a decent defender and rebounder for a small forward. Michael Ruffin is not even an above average defender.

League and Wizards sources confirmed that the team offered unrestricted free agent shooting guard DeShawn Stevenson a four-year deal worth approximately $12 million.

Stevenson, who turned down a three-year, $10 million offer from the Orlando Magic last summer, earned just less than $1 million last season.

Doesn't seem like that much better of an offer than before. If Stevenson won't take this, then I believe the front office will move on and sign a cheaper and probably better player, Juan Carlos Navarro.

The Wizards have increased their offer to unrestricted free agent shooting guard DeShawn Stevenson to four years with a total salary of around $15 million, but Stevenson has not accepted that offer, according to team and league sources. Wednesday is the first day free agents can formally sign contracts, and a source close to Stevenson said the team and player are "moving closer" to an agreement.

The article also says that our supposedly new assistant coach, whom was supposed to strengthen our defensive play, decided to change his mind and go back to Houston and decide what he wants to do there. Will we ever get that one coach who will spark our lackluster defense?

The defense wasn't so bad in the playoffs. It's really up to getting Gilbert motivated enough to play defense.

We have a problem of too many guards, but I would hate to see any of these guys go. When this team was kicking midseason, the team seemed to gel really well especially with Hayes and Daniels coming off the bench. But now we have to decide between them, Nick Young, and Navarro.

I'd like to keep them all, but I guess it's not possible.

Any chance we go small next year and start either Blatche or Pecherov at center? I doubt it, but I'd really rather not see Etan Thomas, or Haywood start next year...

Any chance of the Wizards picking up Morris Peterson? Decent defender, decent shooter, doesn't need the ball a lot...could be a nice fit.

Peterson is supposedly trying to start for a team that will have almost instant success. He wouldn't be a good fit in the offense since it relies mostly on slashing quickly and Mo Pete lost that attribute awhile ago.

Looks like Mo Pete is going to New Orleans anyways Link

fjkdsi · 07-14-2007, 02:50 AM

i think devin brown can be a good fit he can do alot of what stevenson does but for cheaper also Matt Barnes

if they can get D.Mason for the MLE(doubtful) that would be pretty good
