    Parsons doesn't look particularly good on offense, but the difference is that he actually tries on D. Maybe Budinger will get the message?

    I doubt it; he's not played good perimeter defense and his off-the-ball rotations have been atrocious ever since he's been here.

    i thought Morey was quoted as saying that he was strictly going for NBA ready players, not players that needed a lot of development

    Hey, the Wizards could slip up and go on a win streak.

    Not any of his teammates complained about him being a cancer. You are going a bit too far - let's not distort or exaggerate here.

    Prima donna? Yes. Distraction? Yes. Pain in the butt to manage? Yes.

    Locker Room Cancer? No. Let's be fair here.

    McGrady became a cancer when Van Gundy was fired and out went the single man offense at the top and in came Adelman's passing game.

    We really need to trade some of these "assets" for draft picks! If we are gonna be bad this year, then it's time to start making room for the draft picks that'll be coming in next year!

    Nothing changes. He started. Start Crying. I did. How sad is it that we dont have anyone better on roster to start the 3? I mean Parson is doing more then expected but he is no where near permanent solution.

    We are just excited cause he is doing so muc better Bud and T-Will. That doesn't mean problem solved and we have a SF now.

    I would trade or release everyone on this team for some high picks and a better opportunity to tank except for Martin, Dragic, Patterson, Morris, Thabeet and T-Will. T-Will and Thabeet are included cos their trade value is pretty low and I'm sure eventually their contributions will be worth more than anything we get back from them once they figure out the system and get consistent pt.

    Lowry and scola are our biggest trade chips, and are bother undersized for their positions anyways.

    For those clamoring to trade Martin, i doubt his trade value is high. Remember we pretty much traded Landry for him. And him and dragic weren't good enough for Pau. He is a 6'7 sg who can put 20+ points on any night. He's better than anything we can get for him in a trade

    I would trade anyone but Lowry or Morris. And I'd really like to keep Scola and pat.
    Lowry is an All-star, Morris and pat have great potential, and scola is a guy who can continue to contribute into his 30's if we can get back to being contenders.

    I think we can get a lotto for Kmart, bud or twill, and fillers. That combined with our lotto could set us up nicely for the future.

    I would sell high on Lowry now that he's stock is very high. 2 reasons- 1)he's undersized, and if you make playoffs, he's gonna have problems with the good teams with bigger stronger pgs. 2) Yeah I know he's having a breakout season, but i think its only fools gold- he's gonna come crashing soon. Not that I want him to, but all evidence seems to suggest that- I dont mind expounding on these evidence should anyone wanna hear

    K-Mart by himself based on his stats should be worth a top 1-3 pick, but we both know that aint gonna happen. So why not keep him.

    C-Bud isnt worth much. Neither is T-Will at this point. Im guessing tHose fillers are the ASSets on our team now excluding Lowry,ppat, scola and their trade value is not much either.

    So why gut your team and give up an excellent scorer, and your top lottery picks (Flynn, t-will, thabeet, hill) and fillers for a lotto pick.

    Adelman's read-and-react offense is not easy to learn at all. It usually takes half a year before players get it. And some never pick it up.

    That's why he tries to get former players like Bonzi Wells and Brad Miller to come on board.

    Well, no one likes losing his spot and on top of that, to a 2nd round rookie.

    Budinger though has to swallow his pride and accept his limitations. And prove it by better play on the court.

    I'm not watching another game till Chandler Parsons is Not starting. Sick of this bs! Morris in the d-league while his twin is successfully getting minutes and playing well. Parsons ain't nothing we'll keep losing while the management continues to think their smart with numbers!

    I've always thought it was really dumb to have the flying rooster and k-mart on the court at the same time. They both play horrific defense and essentially have the same style of play. I am all for starting Parsons! Improves our height, rebounding, and defensive disadvantage.

    still dont understand why morris is still in the D league, we obviously need size, and rebounding. I would love to see Morris at the 3 and chandler at the 2 F*** Martin trade him for 5 men. But thats just me. Martin & chase are very inconsistent and we cant have that every night if we plan to win.

    i understand parsons starting over budinger... what i stilll fail to understand is why we have to keep morris in nbdl... i think morris is better than budinger right now... put flynn or thabeet in nbdl... i understand hes getting good minutes in rio grande valley but with all the crazy rotations mchale is throwing out everynight we can squeeze enough minutes for morris... as i recall we hired mchale to devlope our younger players... well he cant develope a player not on the team....

    Ok. let's be more fair and clear

    Distraction only in his final years
    When he was healthy and with Van Gundy he was not a distractor ...was kinda leader by example
