mcgee would be PERFECTO on this team. give him 30 minutes a night, he'll block close to 2.5 shots a game while giving you close to 10 and 10....
PERFECT match for amare. like noah is for boozer...
we should trade Gallo for McGee straight up.
I see McGee as the second coming of Marcus Camby to the basketball world. Could work for the Knicks but we need also another scorer from the backcourt.

If you look at the bottom of the page you will see that Wash. is shopping JaVeal MaGee. MaGee is exactly the type of C our team needs. Young Athletic Rebounding Shot Blocking Player that our Coach already has a little history with. Hope Donnie's looking into this one!
I just can't see the Wiz giving up Mcgee for just AR or just any old player. Mcgee is a need player for most if not all franchises. Bigs are always at a premium we'd have to give them something alot of us would't want to part with.
That being said, If he can develop a nice lil reliable 15 ft. jumper ala Camby or Oakley...He'd be perrrfect for this team. Question is who are you willing to give up???
Not even sure AR and TD are enough. Could be more like AR and Fields

? After suspending Andray Blatche and JaVale McGee one game for an altercation outside of a club, league sources say that the Washington Wizards will consider trading either Blatche or McGee in the coming weeks. The team will gauge interest around the league and after shopping the players, decide whether or not a trade would be the right move for the franchise.
M. Gasol is the most realistic guy like this. But lord knows how much MEM will give to him. /QUOTE]
Memphis are one of the likely franchises to be contracted by the CBA. With the talks still hovering in hoop purgatory, Gasol's availability could become an interesting topic.
-This isn't a reference for proposing trades to Washington. McGee is a specimen that you don't give up on a rookie's wage.
-Blatche has been a hinderance with his bad 'tude the last 3 years, and hasn't emulated his pre contract form since the Arenas suspension.
-McGee's contract lasts 2012/13 at an incremental total of $4M with a Q.O in the final year - Blatche's lasts until 2014/15 and sits at $35M without any clauses of any kind.
-McGee, IMO, will lead the league in blocks at some stage(s) in his career, is the perfect above the rim player for Wall to play with, is one of the fastest and most athletic centers in the whole league.
-McGee is - potentially a better version of - Tyson Chandler waiting to happen. Blatche is on the decline, not significantly, but doesn't appear to be improving markedly since 'breaking out' 2 seasons ago.
★ McGee would be IDEAL for this team defensively. Not so much offensively. If we had a different coach, that would less likely be the case. All things considered, the chances of Washington trading him are slimmer than Ally MacBeal's clitoris. Blatche, on the other hand, has proven to be another big signing that didn't work out in Washington. Wizards trade Blatche, not McGee.

True. As a FA the market will be ferocious for him barring major CBA changes. I just don't see those type changes actually happening, but we'll see. I do see a team like MEM possibly being contracted, so...:crossfingers:
Tyson Chandler is going to be so overpaid along w every other starting or "name" center. Cuban giving Haywood that deal -- wasn't it like 10 megas a year? -- was sick.
It's ok to "overpay", but the only center aside from a guy we can get on the cheap or for like a ML-type deal, would be M.Gasol.
Lot of question marks, bc if we get Melo he might end up being a primary 4 for us with STAT to the 5, rendering any starting type C, m gasol even, of dubious need.
We have a ton of variables which is nice. More room for Walsh to use skill and make better moves than our opponent GMs. But can start to suck for us since the incomplete information Walsh himself has, becomes so fundamentally oblique and vast for us, that at a certain point we just need to accept even our most expert of theoretical scenarios as pretty pointless.
****. Can the trade deadline come already? Part of me wouldn't hate for Melo to just sign and spend his weekends off at the jersey shore getting STDs from snookie's visiting friends.
Let Walsh, and us, really take off the gloves and ruthlessly make multiple moves and signings.
We also don't want a "good starting center". Unless they are pretty great and will fit us like a glove. The demands of them, money especially,just won't be worth it otherwise. Not with MD, not with this team.
I'd rather have a "solid, speculative starting center",but who could be a quality minutes but non-full-time starter who has "perfect, dominant-like skills that we can fit us like a glove and we can utilize with our overall team in mind without making a big financial/emotional investment in
Why as far as FA's go I'm so high on BigBaby. Has size and versatility with a quality shot, solid D with some unique qualities. Can come off the bench just as smoothly as he can start -- and can play the 4 and 5.
Fair enough, but he probably won't be ready for opening night. We'll still be scrubbing the stench of Celtic gayness out of him by Christmas. I am taking the lockout into account here, too.

You beat me to the post. Good find sir, I would like to get him.. McGee for AR straight up is more than fair. I do not want anything to do with Andray Blatche. I live in DC this guy is a ****in moron... If you have not seen this before watch this fool lol...
