Chicago / Washington Possible Trade

it’s kinda misleading in the title.

They are pretty likely to take Evans, Jennings (assuming he creeps into their conscience which publicly as of now he has not) or Holiday.

But, I say that knowing that Petrie likes certain kind of players. It’s really very much a crapshoot at this point.

Also, the idea that they could trade for another immature player to go along with , their Wiz-ockee’s, I don’t know that they go for such.

As far as Washington’s likelihood, who knows? Everything I’ve seen or heard (most off Bullets Forever) is that they want to keep the core of that team together (which does include Jamison) for whatever reason. So, at least it makes plausible sense. I just doubt they think the tradeoff is worth it.

and you said of Jamison …

“His defense is appalling” and you suggested giving up two of our best defenders?

why are we here???

Sign and trade idea with BG (to Wiz)

What if we did a sign and trade with BG to the wizards for there 5 pick (assuming harden is available).

We give BG 9-10 mil new contract, jerome james and his insurance covered expiring (6 mil) and our 26 pick, to Wizards for the 5 pick, Etan Thomas, darius songalia, and mike james(their salaries add up to about 16 million, with only songalias going past 2010 (he has a player option for 4.5 mil or so for 2011 which im sure he’ll pick up.

 

Wizards would have Arenas, Gordon, Butler, Jamison, Haywood as their starting five, with Crittenton, Young, and mcgee coming off the benc.

 

We could have derozan start off as coming off hte bench, and if he develops into a good player, we can easily trade salmons at the break for either a big time player(with Tyrus and whomever else needed to get traded), or we could just keep derozan on the bench for the whole year, and move him into the starting 2 next year when salmons gets off the books.

I’m mildly interested in moving up to #5 if we’ve got a “thou shalt not re-sign Ben Gordon” commandment from on high. Harden looks all around good, could be there at that pick,

the Wizards go for a downgrade from their one good post player and pick up a player who plays the same position as their best player, and we get a guy who is getting old and is owed assloads of money. And Songaila.

I think Hinrich would only leave for a starting role, and Arenas is better than he is, so I doubt he’d be happy in Washington. The fifth pick, unless it can get us Thabeet (which I doubt), is not going to be all that great.

The Wizards don’t need a shakeup, they just need their good players to stay healthy. I am rereading my comment right now, and it has no logical progression of ideas whatsoever, but whatever. My point, in a nutshell, is that this idea doesn’t work.
