AboveLegit Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 The notion that the Washington Wizards are open to moving fourth-year guard Nick Young before the Feb. 24 trading deadline is fading. With speed. The Wiz presumably have no untouchables on their roster beyond prized rookie John Wall when they're sporting a road record of 0-19, leaving them just one away loss shy of becoming the sixth team ever to start a season 0-20 on the road. But at least one interested suitor, noting that Young has arguably been Washington's best player since the pre-Christmas deal that sent away Gilbert Arenas, said this week that the Wiz sound intent on keeping him.The Wizards, according to NBA front-office sources, are also getting calls on veteran guard Kirk Hinrich and said to be more amenable to moving the former Bull -- Wall's supposed mentor -- than dealing Young. Wiz forward Andray Blatche, as you've heard since Christmas, can obviously still be had, too.http://espn.go.com/nba/dailydime/_/page/dime-110114-16/howard-qa What teams do you think are calling about him? Which teams should? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Knicks should for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I think the Clippers would be an interesting suitor. They are looking to unload Kaman, who is the kind of big man the Wizards could use. Meanwhile, their salaries are both in the $9-11M range, so only a few minor adjustments would need to be made. The Lakers should definitely look into trading for him. They have a $5M TPE from the Sasha trade, and Caracter might be an enticing project for the Wizards to try out. A 3rd party might need to be involved to get everything to match up, but they desperately need a PG like Hinrich. The Heat would be a perfect fit, but I don't think that would work out. They'd have to give up Miller, Anthony and Arroyo for the salaries to match. If the Heat recalled Pittman from the D-League and he played well it'd be an awesome trade for the Heat, but I doubt it'd happen. I think the Hawks would be an ideal fit as well. Hinrich would be a clear upgrade over Bibby (who makes $5M the next two seasons), and the Hawks have a $3M TPE from the Childress deal, which would mean the salaries would matchup near perfectly. So, essentially the Hawks would upgrade at the PG position, and the Wizards would be cutting about $3M of salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazed49 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 The blazers have always had a hard on for him so they're probably one of the suitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestle Snipes Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Blazers for sure and the Clippers need a 3rd scoring option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I'm not sure how much cap space Chicago has but they should try to get him back to they can play him at 2 guard and bench Keith Bogans. The Bulls need a starter like Hinrich who can defend and hit open shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truth Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 send him to Atlanta for Crawford's expiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I, for one, would love him or Ben Gordon back. He is probably going to a playoff team with cap space though. I don't know what the Wiz really need, but I doubt we can offer them it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted January 17, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Send Derek Fisher to the bench, please. We need to get rid of Blake. The dude was hyped up so much because he used to light Fisher up, and even I could probably do that these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hawks would be a perfect fit next to Joe Johnson, Portland could use him too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
