KurbyFX Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Looks to me the Wizards just want to gut what they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AboveLegit Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Super tank and rebuild. We're going to lose 65% (or more) of the remaining games as it is. Right now, I don't have high hopes for the lottery because well, we never get that type of luck. This was a dumb trade, here's what Michael Lee had to say: MrMichaelLee: So does his nickname change from "Taser" to Dominic "Something minor" McGuire? That's cold, man. Cuts $825 Gs from salary cap (luxury tax).We were already under the luxury tax as it is, so what's the point of trading our best defender?

I have a feeling the lottery is gonna smack us hard and we get a pick lower than our projected one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 MrMichaelLee: Dom McGuire move officially put the Wizards under the luxury tax, source says. A Z buyout would just be gravy on "stale" mash potatoes. Alright, I guess it makes sense. Though, I would've preferred trading a different player, I guess this works out. I thought we were under the tax after trading Jamison, but I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
