Doc — hope Caron has the *handles* for the role you project for him. And that we don’t get into too much trouble defensively w/ Jamison trying to check wing players.

I like this trade. I think it will work for all teams involved. The Celtics get there Backup Point guard. The Kings get a vet PG to help the Rookie, a Shooting Guard and a PF/C. I think Deshawn has a player option after next season. Other than that they have two expiring contracts. The Wizards get a third option at SG (same thing Deshawn was) and a SF that will back up Butler. I know Andres Nocioni makes 7.5 mil and has three years left on contract, but this year we would have spent that money anyway. 2010 we would probably lose Miller, and Tony Allen. In 2010 we will need some consistency off the bench and Nocioni can fill that role. Plus this will give a little more time to J-Critt.

Point Guard-Gilbert Arenas-Randy Foye-Javaris Crittenton

Shooting Guard-Mike Miller-Nick Young-Tony Allen
Small Forward-Caron Butler-Andres Nocioni -Dominic McGuire

Power Forward-Antawn Jamison-Andray Blatche-Dominic McGuire

Center-Brendan Haywood-JaVale McGee-Fabricio Oberto

Someone else post this on another site and I thought it was very interesting idea.

“What do you think about this scenario?

——————————————————————————–

So all us Wizards fans know that Mike James and Deshawn are gonna be useless for us next year so what about this 3 way deal?

Celtics get: Beno Udrich
Kings get: Mike James, Deshawn Stevenson and Brian Scalibrine
Wizards get: Andres Nocioni and Tony Allen

It’s no secret the Celtics have been wanting to dump both of these guys and they desperately want a PG, possibly to replace Rajon sometime soon. Beno is a capable PG with enough experience to satisfy this need and with the drafting of Tyreke Evans I don’t think the Kings are interested in keeping Beno (6 mil) for the duration of his 3 year deal. Adding 3 vets could improve the Kings young guys and with all 3 bringing expiring contracts the Kings could go after a big free agent next year. Nocioni would give the Wizards a PF/SF to fill the depth that we need in both positions and Tony Allen would be in case Nick Young doesn’t step it up.

Thoughts?”

In light of the recent Washington Post article on who will breakout this season here are my choices and predictions.

Breakout Player among the Young Posse-
As much as it should be Blatche or Young I am going to step out and predict that Javale McGee will be our Young Posse breakout player this year. He is going to in practice and games put Flip in a position where he has to play him. I know that as a Center that is a big prediction. I am steeping out with Javale because he is determined to be the best player he can be.

Gil will win the comeback player of the year has he lead us into the playoffs. I predict Gil will average 24 points, 7 assist and 2.5 steals per game. Will make the nall star team.
Newcomer of the year will be Mike Miller. he will fill in at both SG and SF. Wizards will have a lethal outfit when in certain instances Arenas, Jamison, Miller Butler and Haywood will be on the floor to spread it out.

Most improved Wizard will be Caron Butler who will also make the all star game. he will thrive from Gil’s new approach to the game.

On paper we got the goods.
