Washington Wizards 2011-2012 Ongoing Thread

Rumor that Howard is being traded to the lakers this weekend for Bynum, odom, and first round draft picks. Deal is supposedly done, but I can't confirm

thats a good trade for both...keepin Pau is huge, bynum to me is overrated

Actually another rumor says it's Pau, so who knows for sure

Being a Mavs fan I wanted Hamilton but I did like the Rudy pickup.

Oh goodie. Wouldn't want the Lakers to have to deal with anything less then two superstars. That would be bad for the league, you know if someone else besides the Lakers won the title. Then again how funny would it be to see the Lakers beat the Heat in the Finals with Brown as the coach?

Well I didn't hear it from an anonymous random twitter user, but I don't know where they got it from. It was just chatter here at work (as often happens)

Yeah, but im 99% sure the Lakers are gonna make a big deal at some point, that performance in the playoffs was absolutely horrible. Something going down after that. Interesting how bad's Pau play was for a playoff series put his status as tradable. Very interesting and a bit knee jerk. But IMO Bynum and Odom is a viable package to bring in a pretty good player. I fully expect to see a great PG or C in a Lakers uniform whenever next season begins.

I long for an NBA where the Knicks, Lakers, Celtics, and Heat all suck. Chicago is fine since they're not really trying to buy championships but I still have my eye on them.

Still though, the sense of entitlement from these big market teams is disgusting. Maybe it's just me but you rarely see anything like that in the NHL and NFL.

Great picks. Vesely....GREAT pick. I was hoping they'd pick Mack when I saw he was still there. Singleton should be a solid player too. Not a star, but solid.

Nice draft. Building a bright future after the housecleaning.

Seriously good read. Singleton and Mack are gonna be assets, and im loving the fact we are talking defense. Hamilton and Brad Stevens are pretty smart coaches, good perspective on coaching d.

It can only be viewed as a good thing to hear the Wizards talking about defense. With the offensive players they have assembled, scoring should be no problem.....embracing the concept of defense for them has always been a hard sell. An aura of excitement is beginning to surround these new Wizards that is unmatched by any other time in their recent history.
