Re: Eddie Jordan Done in DC
Cebby...I could not of said it better. Eddie's one downfall is that he has not got Young into the lineup and Stephenson out. Stephenson is the so called better defender, but is shooting and offense is horrid. Young needs to be a full time player getting 30+ minutes.
Daniels needs to go as well. We need a real point guard. Man, I cringe for saying this, but would have loved if we kept Steve Blake.
I think the Big Three's contracts are part of the reason of the poor cast around this squad, and when you add to that horrible contracts to Etan, Stephenson and Daniels...it makes the situation worse. There is no moving room. Ernie stuck with Deshaun cause of his friendship to Gilbert. Big Mistake. You can't sign Mason cause of that, and with the contract offer to Blatch. You do need to keep Blatche cause his upside is there....
All Ernie's other picks except for Young and McGee, have not turned out as of yet. Jury is still out on Blatche. Losing Mason and Blake, and not retooling the bench is a huge mistake by Ernie. We have two many bigs who can't play....(Pecherov, Etan, and McGuire...could throw in Blatche but won't for now) and not enough actual Playmakers. Brown, Daniels, & Stevenson can not get it done. And way to many guys hurt.
Yeah, not a recipe for success, but I would not have fired Eddie for this. Yeah, couple of bad losses. But you can not win with just Butler and Jamison. You have to remember, the Wiz barely made the playoffs with those two after Gilbert went down. Barely. He is the force that drives them and makes Butler and Jamison that much better cause defenses use to have to account for Gilbert's slashing, leaving either of those two open for the pop.
We now get to start all over with a new offense.
