That's what I'm talking about with you overrating Nene. He's a nice player, but you don't try to accelerate anything because he's on the roster. He's a placeholder as far as I'm concerned. If he was that great the Nuggets wouldn't have continued onto the playoffs with his replacement coming off the bench.

The move to make is take it slow...continue to get favorable draft picks and save money. Taking on Igoudala or Varejao is the complete opposite.

I do love that Derozan and Davis deal though.

All of this overrating Nene talk. I have never overrated him. Typically, I do not overrate any players. I'm very tied to production and what I see out on the floor. I am saying that Nene is a good building block to a winning organization. He is an extremely high field goal percentage guy who is a very capable defender and a semi-decent rebounder. Put him next to another guy who's very similar, like Al Horford in that first trade I suggested, and I think the Wizards are one solid SG away from being a top 4 team in the East in 2 years. Continue adding pieces, allow Seraphin, Vesely, Singleton, and Booker to develop, draft well, and they can absolutely be a title contender in 5 years.

For reference, here is the Thunder's line-up 5 years ago:

PG Earl Watson/Luke Ridnour
SG Kevin Durant/Delonte West
SF Jeff Green/Wally Szczerbiak/Damien Wilkins
PF Nick Collison/Kurt Thomas
C Chris Wilcox/Johan Petro/Robert Swift

Were they 5 years away from winning a title? Sure looks like they were.

Quick question - do the Wizards actually have any fans on this site?

I do not align myself with any 1 team in particular, and the Wizards are in my top 10 favorite league pass teams to watch. Does that make me the biggest Wizards fan here?

**Porn Player** · 06-10-2012, 10:24 AM

I believe so. I never realised how poor a fan base the team seems to have.

**Floods** · 06-10-2012, 10:27 AM

Pretty sure Dre's a Wizards/Mavs fan.

**Porn Player** · 06-10-2012, 10:30 AM

Dre likes basketball?

**Floods** · 06-10-2012, 10:31 AM

Obviously not, if he's a Wizards fan.

**Porn Player** · 06-10-2012, 10:32 AM

Dre's lurking. He mad.

**Dre** · 06-10-2012, 10:33 AM

I've forgotten more about basketball than you will ever know PP and you know it

**Dre** · 06-10-2012, 10:36 AM

I certainly do know a lot of things, unfortunately for you, that is not one of them.

Good work Sheila.

Just noticed that the Wizards don't have any mods who aren't community mods. Does anyone, other than myself, even watch their games?

**Floods** · 06-10-2012, 10:51 AM

I don't think their games are televised.
