    Do you guys think with Jordans growing frustrations w/ just about every member of his team, especially with the youngsters, there is any chance we might can make a deal envolving EG and kwame brown?

    Um...why would we do that? Kwame's a C. We have one.

    Kwame is a PF. And I am sure this summer GMs are lining up to fleece the Wiz of Kwame Brown. His stock appears to be pretty low, which is amazing since he is so young and is a #1 pick. Kwame right now is young and inconsistant, not much more different than Griffin. Why would we make that trade? If we are trading Griffin we are trading for someone more consistant, otherwise, why make the trade?

    EG always looks scared inside and incossistent as kwame is he doesn't launch 3's and is more physical inside than EG.

    Depends on who goes and who has to come with him. Like every other 'deal'.

    Kwame may well thrive post-Michael. Or maybe he wasn't quite worth the overall #1.

    EG looked like he was about to cry when Cherokee Parks got in his face last night.

    Well this trade might be good for both teams. Maybe if both Brown and Griffin are given a 2nd chance by new teams there game will pick up. Both have talent and lots of potential. I like the idea.

    Houston trades: PF Eddie Griffin (8.7 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 1.1 apg in 25.0 minutes)
    PF Jason Collier (2.8 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 0.1 apg in 8.0 minutes)
    Houston receives: PF Kwame Brown (7.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 0.8 apg in 21.9 minutes)
    Change in team outlook: -4.2 ppg, -3.1 rpg, and -0.4 apg.

    Washington trades: PF Kwame Brown (7.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 0.8 apg in 21.9 minutes)
    Washington receives: PF Eddie Griffin (8.7 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 1.1 apg in 59 games)
    PF Jason Collier (2.8 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 0.1 apg in 13 games)
    Change in team outlook: +4.2 ppg, +3.1 rpg, and +0.4 apg.

    TRADE ACCEPTED

    Or we could just hope that Griffin will come around, or take a chance will Brown.

    If anything we would want to add Brown not trade anyone of significance. I do believe that Brown would be an investment for our future. He could be ready at the same time as Griffin and Yao Ming. All three could be coached by Moses Malone!

    I recommend you quit making up crap. If anything, Griffin didn't back down and actually shoved Cherokee.

    Kwame is good and maybe a little more talented than Griffin but I feel that he puts a little more effort than Kwame although it hasn't shown in results so far.
    I would retain Griffin and let him develop.

    If I remember correctly, didn't Clutch mention a trade rumor or rumors involving the Rockets acquiring Kwame Brown via trade last year? I believe it may have had something to do with our first rouind pick last year (not too sure).

    Either way Kwame Brown will most likely be retained by Washington for the simple reason that his stock is low and the Wizards know that they cannot get much for him right now. If Kwame is traded it will be in a package for an expiring contract so the that Washington can get more cap space to entice free agents.

    Just like with EG, you have to give Kwame some time, he is still young and will develop, I think his growth is being stunted by Jordan, and it is well documented that he is not happy with his role with the Wizards.

    Looked to me like he told him to "F" off, and gave him a shove.



    That's more like what happened.

    I think Kwame has more potential... and he is also stronger... I think he will strive under rudy too, if doug collin and jordan can't povide the right condition for kwame.. then rudy probably can.

    I think it would be good trade for both team.. eg needs guys like collins to motivate him

    Kwame would be sweet.

    He has insane potential.. I predict he'll be a premier big man in the next 2 years..

    I like Kwame, but I wouldn't trade Griffin up.

    Don't forget that Griffin was a potential 1st Round 1st Pick also. But it was his character that had people guessing. I like Griff.. HES THA MAN!!

    So Jordon and Wizards grew tired with a young project (Kwame) but trade him for another young project (Griffin)? :confused:
