DeAndre Jordan can jump out of the gym — I just don’t want him to be jumping out of *our* gym. Ditto Javale McGee.

Neal, my nizzle…I’m border-line on fries too (depending on the grease that they are fried in). What you thinking of paying or something?

No – I hope we never trade GR!

Hey guys…greetings from Portugal, IÂ´m Tiago, a European Wizards fan and a basketball fan.

I would like to ask you, what was the first question of the 2nd video on EG press conference?

Thanks

PS: I hope we pick at #18, Mario Chalmers or Marreese Speights

Jordan is tall and he is athletic for any size. however he is not a center right now. he’s not a 4 either. He’s a big tall kid. Best case scenario would be Andrew Bynum. The Lakers have to decide whether to pay him and he has yet to average a double-double. I’m not sure Jordan is as advanced as Bynum was at this stage. I like the athlete but we need players.

With any of these guys the question is how good how fast. All due respect to the organization, there is no track record of development to point to. Why should I expect this kid to develop into something special? I know he ‘could’ but that doesn’t mean he will.

Bridge, dear …. Coke with lemonade? You want fries with that?

GrifonRacing is back. Didn’t we trade him?

Hang in there Tom. Wisdom is just around the corner.

Hey fellas do we pass on DeAndre Jordan if he is there at 18. It’s five minutes before the Wiz pick. Do you look at a young man who really should have stayed in college at least two more years and take a chance. This young man if he stayed in school could possibly have been the number one choice on next years draft. He is definitely raw offensively. Right now he only has been to the darryl dawkins slam dunk camp. But athletically and defensive wise he has great potential.
Anybody thinks he is a Kwame Brown clone or potential Diwight Howard clone?
I need some feedback on why he could possibly fall out of the top 15 to 20 picks.
Chad Ford has him going number 28 wow!.
Remember we have been wanting a center so bad. Remember the hard time we gave BH and ET before the last season. At that time other than the Lopez brother and Mr. Hibbert we did not think there would be a center to be had for us.
I saw a number of games that jordan played in this past season and he has enormous potential.
We got one minute left to make our pick. Somebody tell me why if Speights, Hibbert and R. Lopez are off the board off the board. Do we take chalmers or do we take jordan?

I finally looked at Kyle Weaver’s highlights and he definitely looks to be a great combo type guard.
I also looked at more of Russell Westbrook’s highlights. I wanted to see why some say he may climb up to the fourth spot in the draft. He definitely looks to be a top five pick. Mostly because of his defensive ability.

I am picking O.J.Mayo as the rookie of the year next season.

Hey Tom I like Speights over Thompson, I just thought he would be gone before 18.
It would be great if he is there for us to take at 18.
