		<description>Crit has only played sporadically in two separate systems for just a little over a year (thus the 722 minutes total) so don&#039;t be so quick to tally up your &quot;numbers&quot;... He has a serious upside &amp; EG has wanted him since he declared for the draft. He&#039;s gotten a little lost in the NBA system early but will recover... We are hopefully a good home for him!
I wanted him over Nick in that draft &amp; thought LA got a steal... We&#039;ll see?</description>

		<description>Mike James and AD are the same age. With all the injures we have on this team Crittenton will get playing time. Tom remember the guy is only 20 and has been in the league only one year.</description>

		<description>mike james is a younger player and alot quicker than antonio. he plays pretty good defense from what i remember when he played alot. but we will see what happens. But Crittenton has potential for being a  good player.</description>

		<description>On the other hand, this is a *great* deal for Antonio and for New Orleans. AD has a chance to back up the best point guard (and arguably the best player) in the league, and he&#039;ll be contending for a title (tho I still don&#039;t think anyone in the West will get by the Lakers).</description>

		<description>I *hate* this trade, I really do.

Dee Brown has actually played pretty well in his minutes, and he was developing -- in particular, his shot was coming around. 

Javaris Crittenton has some of the worst numbers in 722 minutes you could imagine. He turns the ball over 3 times as much as he steals it, he has 56 assists total, he has blocked a shot 2 times total, he shoots a low percentage, and low from 3, and low from the line. He is a pretty good rebounder for a guard, but that is his *only* positive number.

Mike James makes as much as Antonio, and has the same length contract. He is *obviously* not as good a player as Antonio, so we can&#039;t have made the trade to acquire him.

We are maneuvering to get high in the lottery.</description>

		<description>the deal is done. its on espn.

check this out too. but its basically the same.
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/wizardsinsider/

sad to see AD go. really liked  him running the team when healthy and getting to the line and hitting them freethrows. As for Dee. i was really hoping he would make a comeback in the NBA with us and he was really starting to gel with our guys. and hes a great person too.

mike james had his best stretch in his career when he played for houston, min, and toronto. and yes he can score. expecially the three. im not surprised if he replaces stevenson due to dsteve&#039;s inconsistent shooting. 

javaris is athletic. i think he will be a good player for us. a second year 6&#039; 5&quot; guard. its getting me excited just how i get excited when i first saw javale mcgee! but javaris has a bright future.

So who will start at point? Juan?

Will these guys be able to play tomorow for us?</description>

		<description>I just read a post by Ivan Carter on the Post&#039;s Insider site, and I see they have put it on the Wizards page.  Here is the breakdown, how I heard it...

Three team deal between the Wiz, Grizz and Hornets.

Wiz get Mike James and Javaris Crittenton

Grizz get back the conditional pick they gave up for JCN

Hornets get AD and possibly a conditional pick

Dee Brown will be outright released.

All in all, I like the deal.  Let&#039;s face it, something more had to be done to shake things up.  I honestly thought EG would try and move Pesh, since he so obviously does not fit anywhere in the rotation.  I knew that Dee and Juan were not safe because their contracts are not guaranteed until after Jan. 10th.  That means we can cut either with no affect on our luxury tax.

AD is getting older and he has been hobbled this season.  I agree that not having him will hurt initially, but if he keeps having trouble with nagging injuries this will be better.

Mike James might get the PG position initially, but I really like the upside for Crittenton.  He and Gil in the same lineup down the road could be great!  

I still anticipate a possible move of Pesh at some point here.  At this point, Young, McGuire and Andray appear to be untouchable.</description>

		<description>I think Mike James is a good back up PG. He wasn&#039;t getting much playing time in NO (playing behind Chris Paul) and in Houston he only played 16 mins per game and avg 6.5 points.</description>
