JJ isn't the difference maker and he's not worth that contract. stevenson is a good deal. go EG, go.

[QUOTE=itvnetop]i honestly didn't see this FA crop having too many names this offseason anyway... I'd rather have stevenson at the minimum for a year or two than JJ at 6 per for the next 5 seasons. Remember, we've still gotta re-up Gil in a few years and twan comes off the books in two... by not resigning JJ, that leaves us with a future without hurting the present.

DS also shoots a better percentage than JJ- and he's not a bad defender at all. He'll be playing his butt off this upcoming season too, so he can opt out of the second year and get a big payday. This also gives some leeway to developing blatche (who will be better than both players in a few years) and negates the need to rely on jarvis hayes' knees.[/QUOTE]

Exactly. Nice post. This is an absolute steal for the Wizards. It wasn't a secret that they were targeting Songaila and Stevenson this off-season. The feeling was that they'd have to choose on or the other. But here they are with both.

[quote=Buster]Jeffries isn't a scorer, but on the Bullets, he didn't have to be. He's a great team player, a hard worker, good defender, good inside player. With Arenas, Jamison, Butler...he didn't need to be a scorer. The loss won't hurt the team too much but I would've preferred that he stayed. Free agency will replace him though.

Good free agent replacements with similar games to Jeffries and would come cheap could be blah blah, [B]DeShawn Stevenson (ORL)[/B], blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah.[/quote]

Re: Jared Jeffries to the Knicks
 

I can tell the Knicks won't be improving this year. If anything, although it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE, the could be WORSE this year with Isaiah Thomas coaching.

I love it. I never liked the Knicks.

[QUOTE=MightyJoeGibbs]Jared is just about to bloom too. That sucks I dont see how the Wizards are really cornering talent to get over that playoff hump. They need some quality big men though.[/QUOTE]


Jared should've "bloomed" last season. He played well in the playoffs, but it wasn't good enough to consider him a difference maker. If he blooms in NY, good for him. I'd rather have Blatche starting instead of Jeffries.
