Checking in - Wizards Insider
Nothing new to report on Blatche negotiations. My feel is that the sides will eventually come to an agreement and Andray will be a Wizard when camp opens. Don't be surprised if this is the team you see in October. I've heard that the team has interest in resigning Roger Mason and the final two or three spots may be filled by some of the summer leaguers like Mike Hall and Aaron Miles. After summer league, Eddie said he was impressed by what he saw from Miles and the coaching staff and front office likes what Hall brings to the practice court, lockeroom and bench.


I wonder what the reaction would be if we signed guys like Miles, Mason and Hall for the deep end of the bench. I guess it boils down to having these three and paying them nothing, or having JJ1, JJ2, and Rose and paying them a fortune, but knowing they could play average ball if called upon.

JJ1 can't last more than 6 mins without calling himself out the game.
JJ2 can't do anything (i don't want to hear about his supposed defense. that's propaganda)
Rose can give you some defense, but as long as he doesn't try to score, at which point is an automatic turnover.
but yes, at a cumulative $18MM against the cap, I'd rather have their guys.

We completely collapsed last year when we had to go to our 10-15 guys on the bench. If you are that deep into your bench you are in trouble regardless. No need to overpay for these guys just to give the illusion of depth. It isn't depth, it's just blotation. Taking time from the young guys and giving you cap/trade inflexibility.
I just hope that people will like me

True status symbol is when your scrubs make more than some teams starting 5!

Thats bragging rights! Dolan is the man!

yeah, if people are impressed with the fact that Trump has a golden crapper, why wouldn't you be impressed with the Knicks platinum DNP-CD list?
