Yes, this will be one interesting summer. I have confidence in Ernie to make the right decisions. I’m just sitting back reading my daily blog everyday and waiting for the next season to begin….
I haven’t told her yet, but I’m giving the wifey my Gold Jersey, since I haven’t picked up a redskin jersey for her yet (it’s not fun going to a redskin event and I have on something and she’s looking at me like were’s my paraphernalia….lol….) After the other night, and having a chance to meet some of the “blog family”, I’m sure she will be right beside me for future events…

Next agenda: any bloggers in Florida? That would be a good spot to have a Blog meeting…i’m sure we’ll be battling Orlando and Miami next year for Conf champs

I had a fantastic time at the game, and I cannot thank you guys enough! My son and I had so much fun, as much fun as you can have with a loss to the Raptors. Meeting you guys really made quite the experience and one that my son and I will always remember, Dave and Glenn thank you again I had a ball with you guys prior to the game, and SportzWiz during and of course meeting dcbutler to pick up a jersey . Without question the live blog cast and the Wizards family and organization are first class, and hopefully in next year I will see more of you at the home games!

THANK YOU!!!

GABBO I would have loved to have met you at the game, dcbutler and I talked about that, we knew you were at the game

I feel real good about next year (if JCritt produces we will be awesome). Juan isn’t a point guard, and that was his achilles (no pun intended) when he first joined the wizards out of college….Hold your head high,you have done what most dream to do, with a basketball career

There was some guy just heckling Shawn Marion all game long….LOL….

It would be easy this off-season to trade Etan as well. Finally. Why? Because he has an expiring contract. I’m sure GMs will want to unload some salary commitments longer term. But… do we really *want* to take on more salary? I don’t think so, hence I imagine Etan will be a Wizard next year then become a FA, unless he can be part of a trade where we get rid of multiple players for one guy. We do need roster room.

I don’t see any likelihood of anyone wanting to trade for DeShawn, however.

As to Blake Griffin — it’s a long shot, but if we do get him, then I think a lot will change in Ernie’s mind. He’s the real deal.

Tapscott must be playing Dixon to give him a chance to show his skills to the other GM’s. That’s classy.

Interesting article by Wilbon in the Post this morning on why Avery Johnson would be a better fit than Saunders. He says Johnson would handle Arenas better. We’ll see. I hope Arenas will handle Arenas better. Let the situation control the game we play, rather than Arenas’s ego.

Sorry we couldn’t pull that win out, but I’m pretty sure the atmosphere was incredible and that you got to enjoy it in person!…although this was a crappy season and some games were just painful to watch, I am really EXCITED about next season and the possibilities that await our Wizards…the possibility of landing Blake Griffin to add to the cast that we currently have (with a few tweeks, i.e., landing a GOOD coach, somehow releasing juan, etan, and stevenson) would make for a very competitive eastern conference…the off season should be pretty interesting!

Juan just isn’t good enough. He doesn’t have the size or athleticism or range of skills to be successful in the league. He has a terrific understanding of the game, streaky shooting skills, and a tremendous competitive heart. If you could put his psyche into Nick Young’s body, you’d have an all star.

Obviously, there was an intention to take a long look at Juan; otherwise why would Crittenton only have played 17 minutes? Juan didn’t play well and won’t be back next season anyway. Time for him to become a coach?

Nick didn’t play well either, although he was effective on D, and that’s a good thing. I hope he works on his game this Summer, because he has the tools to be a very good player and, right now, he isn’t one.

JaVale McGee had a *great* 15 minutes, during which he scored 10 points, pulled down 7 boards, blocked 2 shots, and only committed 1 foul. Wow.

I’m sure you noticed that Tap had him on the floor with Haywood for a few minutes; the rotation looked a little rough, but that’s quite a thought for the future.

Hope Antawn is ok….
