Not sure what we're going to do with all the guards.[/quote]

Wow. That went from rumor to reality pretty quickly then

Re: Washington Wizards 2010-2011 Ongoing Thread
 

When does Bibby's contract expire? If I read right he signed a 3 year $18 million deal in 2009 so I imagine that Summer 2012 would be the end of Bibby's contract. Of course that doesn't take into account possible opt-out and buyout clauses.

Still if the new CBA features a hard cap that puts an end to these super teams with stars surrounded by role players then the Wizards are well on their way to building a quality team from the ground up as I believe they now have 3 first round picks, one which will be an early lottery and two late first round picks that could be used to move up or traded for first rounders next year.

Yeah! Hinrich and Armstrong were both inactive for tonights game, They were in street clothes on the bench for the first half, at the beginning of the second half they were nowhere to be found.

This deal would appear to be about young Crawford and a 1st rd. pick. I dont see Bibby with a future here but, was probably made a part of the deal to make the salries match.

Bibby mentorship with Wall, why not? Getting the 1st round pick is big. Know nothing about Crawford. Id say its a win for us.

Not only a win, but a steal.

Jordan Crawford has potential, but a first round pick included? With a top pick in the off-season and a pick in the middle of the first round, our FO is doing a fine job looking long-term. A very fine job.

Not to mention Booker and Seraphin getting more minutes.

I have no problem with Bibby, as a matter of fact he's one of the best three point shooters in the league at 44.1 percent, and is averaging 9 ppg. He's owed 6 mil compared to Hinrich's 8 mil, with the team interest in saving money and getting younger, I see the logic.

Evans salary is off the books at the conclusion of the season, another 1.2 mil to pursue other areas. Grunfeld didn't want to make a deal that didn't include Jordan Crawford, a young player with promise along with the Hawks 1st rd. pick to continue their build towards the future. Good deal for the Wizards.

I wish they could have moved Blatche...or Baltche

It's ridiculous how many of these uniform problems the Wiz and Nats have. I'm glad the Skins have been mostly exempt from it...except for Ladell Bettis.

Love getting the first round pick, but I don't know that Bibby is any more of a mentor to Wall than Hinrich was. Plus Bibby doesn't even want to suit up for the Wizards

I never got the feeling Hinrich wanted to be here either. He did what he had to do but, I also have a feeling he's happy to be with a contender.

What an utter joke. The Wizards are just so bad. So so bad. Keep Wall and McGee, and blow up everything else.
