Wizards Looking To Trade Andray Blatche

[MD13]

Would you do Blatche for Varejao, and Cavs have the right to swap picks in 2012?

I do that in a heartbeat. Then you buyout blatche or move him right away for something cheap

No. It's a lottery. If we end up picking higher we will be trading one of the smarter bigs in the league for one of the dumber. Only way I want that guy on the team is if we are getting a first rounder within the next 2 years, with limited protection on it.

 

[Triumph36]

We would have to keep Andy because of his attitude and work ethic if they bring in a guy like Blatche.... Needless to say I wouldn't tuch that trade even with the 2012 unprotected first. It would be a terrible deal in terms of a team culture standpoint

In the end Blatche should be avoided

lolol

this is absurd

The Wizards would amnesty Blatche before giving up a pick to trade him.

yes.

Would you do Blatche for Varejao, and Cavs have the right to swap picks in 2012?

hell yes. the wiz aren't any better post trade, still arguably the worst team in the league. even though i think the cavs will regress and not come close to making the playoffs, getting the best or second best shot at #1 is a snap accept.

i think playing here would be good for blatche too. not that i am defending him, because a lot falls on him. but he's playing on by far the dumbest, most immature team in the league. they are talented from the neck down, sure, more talented than the cavs actually. but like i said with cousins, blatche just isn't going to succeed there there is too much working against him. the wiz situation is even worse than the kings, though.

The people that would turn down Blatche and an unprotected 2012 pick for Varejao are insane. That's a top-5 pick for Varejao. Blatche is just there to make the salaries work. Far as I'm concerned, you do that deal, then tell Blatche to sit at home or accept a buyout.

That's the only way I accept that trade.

I don't want his stupid ass anywhere near our guys.

I would give everyone from our roster, just Kyrie and TT are untouchable, for that unprotected first round pick. Our team is nearly garbage, and that first round pick is 99% top5 in the next draft. That new player (top 5 draft pick) would be way better than everyone from our team. AV is not starter, he is just starter with our garbage team, yes we love him, but is really crazy to say that AV for Blatche + unpretected first round pick isn't worth it. I would make that in a heart beat. In top 5 is C and PF that in 2 years will be better players than AV have ever been. Than we have our first round pick, our second round pick, and i think second round pick from someone, so it's 4 new players, possibly 2 of them will be in top 10 draft picks. It's really crazy to not accept that trade offer, of course if WAS offer us or we offer and WAS accept.

lolol

this is absurd.

Not wanting to give up a good team player that understands defensive for a guy who has been known to start fights with teammates in and outside of the locker room is absurd?

People in Washington don't even think he is really injured if you take the time to read anything about Blatche and the Wiz (as if the Wizards would give up an unprotected 1st or right to swap this year anyway and it's not worth giving up Andy for chance to swap picks due to the lottery system the NBA uses)

You understand this is a guy who plays power forward and has only made 17 shots in the post this season right? His coach even came out and said he was only the temporary team captain after the first few games of this season... Not to mention he is a terrible person and teammate as documented in all the above articles

With the way Andy and KI run the P&R together you don't give up Andy for Blatche

If Blatche's agent lets him accept a buyout he would be the one of the worst agents in the business since Blacthe will never see another contract like that again (that point is moot as the guy has 4 years left on his current deal)... I don't think I've ever heard of any player accepting a buyout with more than a year left on a deal in the NBA

I don't believe there are detrimental to the team clauses in the new CBA for the NBA like there are in the NFL so I'm pretty sure he couldn't just be sent home, he could be placed on the end of the bench but that is it...

The feeling from GM's around the league are that they can't win or develop young players with a guy like Blatche near a locker room. Since the Cavs have used the amnesty all ready they would be stuck with him wasting cap space and he makes 8 mill $ + around the same time the Cavs will have to extend KI and TT. This isn't even taking into account that the year after KI and TT are extended who ever is picked in the next draft would have to be extended the following year...

With those extensions for the Cavs young players having Blatche on the roster at that time kills flexibility when the young guys the Cavs have now should be entering their prime

Sometimes the ends don't justify the means regardless of how good it sounds on paper

Also how do you air ball a dunk when you are 6'11

Not once but TWICE (two different games both wide open)

again we all know how bad of a cancer this guy is but if they offered you the rights to get what will likely end up a top 3 pick in this draft it doesn't matter. you let Blatche in the locker room and as soon as you hear one bad word from him you just tell him to stay at home (the Pacers did something similar with Jamal Tinsley if i remember correctly except that they never offered him a buy-out they just tried to trade him for 2 years...).

also i don't get the reasoning why Blatche's agent is bad if we offer him a buy-out and he accepts it? he wouldn't lose any money (offer him 20-21mio of the remaining 22 left on his contract) and let him choose his team. as bad as Blatche is i'm pretty sure a team like Boston with several strong veteran presences would take a chance on him (in the end by losing only 1-2mio in the buy-out with the Cavs he would probably earn more than before the trade because of the contract he would get from a team like the Celtics...)

bottom line would be the Cavs paying 20mio for a top 3 pick in what has the potential to end up as the best draft since 2003....like i said a bargain

 

[MoFlo]

All this "I would or wouldn't" do this trade talk is moot anyway, cause there's no way Washington gives up a 2012 unprotected 1st or gives us rights to swap picks for '12. They can just buy him out or tell him to stay home themselves if they really are desperate.

 

[Len]

It's not like other GM's around the league don't see the potential in this years upcomming draft. I highly doubt that any GM will be willing to trade their #1 first round pick this year in any type of package deal. All these shitty teams in the league are going to try and cash in on this years lottery and hopefully strike gold in the first #1-#14 picks.

 

[Tornicade]

Blatche has a 4 year contract. This trade would be a salary dump nothing more and the wizards who are rebuilding arent going to give an unprotected lottery pick to move him.

Trevor Booker is about the only guy id want from the wizards. Wizards have two young point guard in Wall and shelvin mack.. or more veteran presence like ramon sessions might appeal to them. Then again Wizards have a bunch of guard they nmight not want any more.

Both teams are under cap so no salry rules apply. a package deal for blatche and booker with some of our young talent involved and maybe a 2nd round pick or two would be about the only feasible trades from the cavs end.

regardless wizards arent giving up a pick so they would eed to package someone like booker or one of their other young players to move blatche tot he cavs.

Things that wouldnt be involved in a potential trade.. Jamison, Varejao, Irving parker and thompson. If the cavs are going to take on salary for 3 years for a mediocre power forward they will need to get something in return.

 

[Rimage]

First it was Gooden....then it was JJ Hickson....could our next smart, crafty, glue guy at the 4 be Andray Blatche? God only knows...

 

[MYoung23]

Andray Blatche isn't a cancer he's a pandemic. If the Wizards want to get rid of him bad enough they could send him home for the rest of the year then Amnesty cut him in the summer.

 

[castor777]

Just stop with the 2012 pick talk, you're making fools of yourselves. It's not on the table, they wouldn't switch picks with us, it just ain't happening. I'm tired of hearing the "you do this trade in a heartbeat" for something that will never happen. They're looking to trade Blatche in hopes to get something for him, even though they seem realistic it probably won't happen. I'm pretty sure they realize they're heading into a top 3 lottery pick this year, and they aren't stupid enough to let it go to waste. With the power to amnesty a player now, they have no reason whatsoever to give up their best asset (pick) for Anderson Varejao. Just stop.

 

[CleveRocks]

Most likely trade partner are our lowly kings. DMC for Andray, straight up....
