I understand, but the way I see it is that the Nets, Pistons, Pacers and Hornets are all locks to make the playoffs.

With the realignment, I'm not so sure the Hornets will make the playoffs -- it'll be interesting to see, though.

Re: Jamison to the Wizards!

Jamison seems to be the guy out of him and Stack that could give you more leverage. I don't like the Stack thing. I'd rather have Finley than him. Has to be another trade in the works, but Stack is a no no. If they keep him, Dirk can say goodbye to half of his touches.

I understand, but the way I see it is that the Nets, Pistons, Pacers and Hornets are all locks to make the playoffs. The Heat and Cavs are also pretty much playoff bound next year as well. Orlando has secured quite a few positions with the T-Mac trade and they have the number one pick, so they have a good shot at the playoffs too.
That leaves Washington with a very small chance to make a low seed playoff birth. Of course they will have a shot, but I don't think they're strong enough.

And if they are looking to make the playoffs this year, which it seems they are. They definitely need to make more moves. Jamison's addition will not settle all of their problems.

<hr /></blockquote>

What exactly are our problems? Youth & injuries. the Wizards would have at the very least been in the PO hunt last season if everyone wasnt hurt. We are right there with Miami (arguably better), just because they made it to the second rd I think you have overrated them. Wizards get younger by giving the mavs 29 yr old stack and old man laettner for 28 year old Jamison. The wizards really didnt need the 5 pick unless they were going to get a big time SF, which they now have. We'll pickup a C with our 2nd rounder, maybe make another deal, but the grass is alot greener than you make it out to be.

Also, Orlando is far from a lock to make it next season, and definitely dont have a better outlook than the Wizards.

Whoa, Mike, slow down.

I'm not sure if you even believe that. The Wizards are cellar-dwellars, plain and simple. I think just by getting rid of Stack, they make themselves a better team.

But playoff contender? And last year, better than Miami? Are you nuts man. Arenas and Jamison may be a slept on tandem, but there's a ton of holes in that lineup.

I agree. Washington was in the hunt, but faced a lot of injuries. I will repeat what I have said earlier, I like this deal for Washington.

Re: Jamison to the Wizards!

Well, Jamison is gettin paid HELLA $, I didnt know his contract was like that. Laettner was an expiring contract, and after this season, Jamison will still be making more money than stack and the 5 pick combined. On one hand, im glad stack is gone, but on the other, this is kinda like what Dallas did to Boston last year, taking advantage of a team trying to get rid of an outcast star.

4 more years at this price is a little much
$12,584,688

$13,843,157

$15,101,626

$16,360,095
