Oh man, I already feel sorry for whichever team signs this joker this offseason.

Hopefully......... the TWOLVES!!!

I am clearly of the minority opinion (or only one that thinks it)

My thing is this - what is the point? Make the playoffs and get beaten in the first round? And by the team Ricky, Love and Pek will be at their peak of playing together (2-3 years away) Crawford will most definitely be on the decline (maybe even out.) Crawford isn't part of the log term solution. Its not that I disagree with the thought of trading of Beasley, its that I have a hard time trading away such a young and talented player (who appears to be maturing) for a guy that is past his prime, and at the most will be a flash in the pan quick fix.

There is absolutely zero downside to making the playoffs. Even if we have no chance of getting past the 1st round, it's still extra revenue for the team and excitement for the fans. Who doesn't want to see how the K-Lav & crew fare in playoff basketball? I know I do. We don't have our draft pick this year so there is no reason not to try to make the playoffs.

I'll gladly let the Lakers try to figure out the Beasley enigma for a steady veteran SG like Crawford. Also I think you are confusing Beas "maturing" with the fact that he's coming off the bench and thus facing less talented players.

There is no downside whatsoever to us making the playoffs. NONE. It is a valuable learning experience for our young players.

And we have no first round draft pick, so the more games we win, the better. Obviously making the playoffs would be huge for us in every facet.

Wizards fans don't hate him. Anyway, In advance of the Clippers-Hawks game, Josh Smith will hopefully be traded to the Wolves, much to the delight of Clippers fans who knew Smoov would expose Griffin.

McGee has talent that is only matched by his lack of a brain. $14 Million... per YEAR? Ninja, please.

Wizards fans don't love him either. They just want the nightmare to end and if that means they have to get rid of McGee in addition to Blatche & Young, then so be it.

Point is, everyone is watching those videos and I got an email with the subject line of "Worst NBA player EVER" which was the subject copied from the Worldstar Hip Hop website they got it from (which tells you waaay too much about me, maybe...)

He's an ok player with a ton of potential. He is not sound defensively which is his issue.

Anthony Randolph is another casualty of lackofBBIQitis. I wouldn't give McGee $8 million a year. $14 million is insanity.

No, we all agree that is his problem. Clearly he's a better player than Randolph is, however. Why are you even still talking about $14 mill per year? That is irrelevant. Derok should pay me $100 a year for contributing to this site. Just because I said it doesn't mean anyone should pay it any attention.

He'll realize his value once the most he gets is 6-8 million (overpaying) from someone like Milwaukee.

My bad.

Still, McGee thinks he is *that* good?

Look at the contracts that players around the league get in the NBA. Can't say I blame him...

After Howard, Bynum, and Tyson Chandler (1-3 in that order) the next best Center is probably Marc Gasol then maybe someone like Gortat. Gortat is much better than McGee in almost every conceivable way other than highlight real dunks and raw unused athleticism.

So Howard, Bynum, and Chandler make cash in the $14+ range. Gasol makes about $13 million and is WAY better than McGee. Gortat makes like $6-7 Million. Pekovic (bound to get a big raise in 2 years) makes even less. If McGee had said "I'm looking to get a 5 year deal worth $30-35 Million" I'd say, well that's aggressive. But $14 Million per year? Nuts.

McGee has no clue.
