Freakin' love Mike Miller.

Re: Foye/Miller to the Wizards

Haha wow, the Wizards are banking on Haywood and McGee. I imagine this means that they'll take a big in the draft.. probably a PF. Pretty much cleared their bench of big men with that move.

They got crazier offensively, that's for sure. I would bet that one or both gets moved again on draft night though. Don't think either guy is really a fit given their current personnel, mostly because Miller really needs to be at SF (Caron) and Foye would probably necessitate moving Nick Young or Stevenson. He's clearly an upgrade from both those guys though, so maybe that's the plan. Can't imagine Stevenson drawing a lot of interest on the market, so I assume it would be Young.

Hope they don't plan on rebounding the ball LOL.

I'll take it. I like both players and the guys the Wiz going to get at 5 werent going to be much. I wanted them to take Curry with 5 but it didnt look like they were going to take him. I'm going to miss Pesh though. His dancing was hilarious.

Caron can play SG. He played it most of the season after Stevenson went out and they used McGuire at SG. I'm ok w/ Haywood, McGee and Blatche as our bigs. Blatche and McGee shouldnt be starting but they are decent off the bench.

Re: Foye/Miller to the Wizards

Yeah I forgot about that. I think both guys are best suited to the 3, but they really are both dual-position guys. Who knows, maybe they keep both of them and just try to address the bigs situation through the draft and signings. Truly if Haywood and McGee stay relatively healthy, they're fine at C and just need someone to take Antawn's slack at 4 when he rests (Songaila's role).

EDIT: Forgot about Blatche.. he's a solid backup for Jamison. He's signed for this season, right? That dude's a monster in summer league ha.

LOL...Blatche is the Tim Duncan of the Summer League. I'm gonna miss Songalia. He was a hustler and tha fans loved him.

Re: Foye/Miller to the Wizards

My original reaction is just "meh"

This is probably the most boring trade I can think of.

It's one of those that I'm not overly in favor of, but I am not really opposed to.

1. We gain a little cap space if neither work out. Miller and Foye are both free agents next year, while Songaila would likely take his option for the next season.

2. Since we weren't going to draft Evans or Jennings, Miller will probably be more of an "impact player" next year averaging 10-12 points and being a decent 3 point shooter than anyone we were going to draft would be

3. The only player I actually wanted to trade for was Amare. I'll take Miller any day over some nonsense with the Cavs or Knicks.

Re: Foye/Miller to the Wizards

highway robbery on the wizards part.

foye/miller and the 5.. for songaila,etan, and pecherov.

minnesota wtf?

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Re: Foye/Miller to the Wizards

Solid deal for both teams really. TWolves got a ton of different options now and they got what, 4 first round picks or something?

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Couldnt agree more. It didnt look like we were getting Amare unless we gave up Butler and that wasnt happening. I'll take Miller and Foye over the other trades I was hearing like for Jefferson or Larry Hughes.

Re: Foye/Miller to the Wizards

So Minny has #5 and #6 now on Thursday? Think they will try to move one of those?

I guess they could go with Evans and maybe DeRozan though that might be a stretch for DeRozan to go that high. They will need back court help though.

Evans
DeRozan
Gomes
Love
Big Al

Team could be real fun to watch.
