Trade for Amare would have been a great plus for The Wizards. Having Amare play at the Centre position, Jamison at PF and Arenas at the point. That front court could easily match the front court of the magics, Lakers. Experience and intensity would overcome other teams. Yes caron Butler was a great contributer and at times carried the team on his back. But having a great front court paves the way for a great back court. Arenas will shine (more) with Amare on the team.

wtf are half of u guys talking about?.. hate it when people talk about a player n calling him an ego n a zero chemistry player when we havent seen him play. all we hear about him is bad bad bad bad.. we tend to forget that Gilbert

has a work ethic similar to Kobe
a 2nd rd draft pick when they said he didnt have a chance
the “Zero” story
the buzzer beaters
the great blogs
the fun times the wizards had
led us to the playoffs 3-4 straight yrs i think? but still better than last 25 yrs.
etc.

but us people always talk about the bad things. like for ex. derek fisher. we forget he went to LA for his daughters cancer issue. but we remember the elbow he put on scola in the 2nd rd.

The Wizards healthy are better than all the east teams except for the Cavs (King James Factor) period.If they could get over the LBJ hump they’d be a deadly team.If they start their scoring lineup they pose a matchup threat to every team in the east except for the Center position.I heard Arenas dropped 20pounds and is back to his college playing weight and workin hard to come back.Arenas was better than Penny at his peak so all those comparisons are failures!!!

IF the Wizards are healthy, they’re a threat. I say keep the nucleus together.

Exactly so if I’m saying the Wiz are worse than that?

@ BiG ShoT BoB

I’m pretty sure they can beat Heat. They’re strictly a one man team. And I’m more than sure they could of beat the Pistons of last year. I mean…did you see them in the playoffs? I know they were playing against a superior team but gosh…where was the passion? It was terrible. Like watching a guy be burned alive and theres nothing you can do to stop it.

HaHa GTFOH The Wiz leading the East. Even if Arenas gets healthy which he never is. His idol is Penny Hardaway and for good reason they had similar careers make the allstar team then get paid to sit on IR for the rest of your life. But even if that were to happen they couldn’t get passed the Magic because Dwight would eat Brendan Haywood and that rookie they have for lunch. They don’t have Eddie Jordan anymore so no more princeton offense. Lebron spanked them single handedly the last time they played. They can’t don’t even belong in the same sentence as Boston since I believe with a healthy KG they can still beat the Lakers. They can’t beat the Hawks. They can’t beat the 6′ers. They can’t beat the Heat. In fact I can’t think of one playoff tem the Wiz are better than as constructed.

Amare is done, Butler is a beast. The Wiz need an upgrade at SG and big man depth. The #5 and expiring contracts can get that. All you LeTravel’s nut swingers will see the truth when the Wizards are leading the East next year.
