It applies in most cases on both ends of the spectrum. Never forget the word “Fan” comes from the word “Fanatic”. It applies in most cases on both ends of the spectrum.

Giving up Young and Pech for him would be a definite hell no! Him/Songailia trade might sound tempting, but I'm just not seeing what that would do; just a temporary solution perhaps?? To solve the "Songailia problem" all the coach need to do (in my opinion) is decrease his minutes until he gets it back together. Y'all might not see it, but this team has Championship potential - but what we all need is a little patience...

I’m usually not the first to bring forth someone else’s’ “weaknesses,” but I’ve come to notice that his weakness as a player is the fact that he gets too comfortable; we all know and have seen that he can shoot and sometimes make 3-pointers, but he got too comfortable with that – maybe he should try to be a more flexible player by spreading himself out everywhere on the floor. If things aren’t working out so well from the three-point areas, try a two or a lay-up or a dunk – there’s so many things that he can do, but I just don’t see him doing it. That’s my opinion of Deshawn; I haven’t followed his career, so by all means, correct me if you feel that I’m wrong about something. Also, I am a DIE-HARD ‘Zards fan; I don’t have to jump on the bandwagon because I’m always on. As a matter of fact, I’m so ON that I’ve attracted others to this team because of my on-ness (I know that this isn’t a word, but bare with me…) Brian –

He could be the guy that backs-up Gil after AD retires (if gil comes back)...i would have prefered getting Kyle Lowry for JCN yep…Kyle Lowry is really fast and can drive to the bucket…he has great defense too..

I am not talking about their bench players I am talking about their fans at The Verion Center. I mean the fans of the visiting team are sometimes louder than The Wizards fan at the games at Verizon Center. The whole thing just make me sick. There are times when a visiting team's player who might shoot about 50% from the line, will make both freethrows with no problem at Verizon Center. Let us all be real here The Wizards have been playing good basketball but with that horrible cheering they get from all of you who call yourselves fans and yet shy to cheer for your team, they will not go far. All of you Laker fans and Celtics fans I wish you will all pack your bags and move out of DC and go to LA and Boston, you all make me sick as well. I say it loud "I am Wizard and I am proud, GO WIZARDS WE LOVE YOU. All I want to know is where is The Wizards’ 6 man?

He is a solid young player. As to giving up Young or Pecherov for him, no way. But, I'd give something -- I don't know how you make the salaries work, but maybe they'd like Darius?? They just lost Gasol, and they may feel they need a big guy (despite having acquired that monster dude Kwame Brown). Kyle Lowry — you bet, I’d like to have him. He is a solid young player.
