Wizards Management: Dance With the Girl What Brought Ya
Aarrrgh!!!
Yeah, I like a team with: two injured All-Stars (currrent and previous) who might not play for the next six-to-seven games, one true point guard, one true center and a logjam at the forward spot. Look, I love the effort that all of the guys are putting in, but if Ernie thinks this squad doesn't need to improve to get past Cleveland, Detroit or Boston (yeah, I know we beat them twice) in the Playoffs, he's smoking something strong. Is he saying that if someone like Jermaine O'Neal or Shaun Livingston became available and he could get a Gasol-for-Kwame type deal, he'd balk? Is he serious?
Don't let the 3 playoff appearances fool you: this team needs a little more than a healthy roster to make it to (and past) the Eastern Conference Finals. And no: I wouldn't accept any deal that involves Arenas, Butler, Jamison and/or (surprise) Brendan Haywood.
Standing Pat
The Wizards likely will not make any moves before the NBA's trade deadline, which is tomorrow at 3 p.m. "I like this team," Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said. "We just have to get healthy and see what we can do here in these final 30 games."
