I watched the game against Dallas today. They seemed pretty good. Foye was a good pickup, and Miller is tougher than I thought. He gave real effort on D. I did not really expect Gilbert to be 100% but he is damn close. Surprised how well the new guys fit. They look like they might get out to a fast start, since like the Celtics they appear to be in midseason form.

PIP weren't you saying we were the 4th best team in the East after Washington earlier in the season?

NBA Sunday: Caron to Bulls or HEAT?

Caron Butler to Miami or Chicago?
Even before the whole gun thing with Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton, the Washington Wizards had been a disappointing team this season. Finally healthy, many expected them to compete with a big three that should be among the league's best. Instead, they're 10-21, one of the worst records in their conference, and the discord in the locker room just seems to grow and grow.
Before the incident, Wizards brass was reportedly looking at some sort of major trade, likely in the next two weeks according to former Washington Times' beat writer Mike Jones. Originally believed to be shopping Arenas and his monster contract, the recent happenings make it more likely that a different Wizard is moved, and the chatter right now is that could be Caron Butler.
According to Jones, a source close to the situation is suggesting that Butler could be packaged up with the seldom-used Mike James and sent to the Miami HEAT or Chicago Bulls. From Chicago they'd likely be looking for Kirk Hinrich and the expiring contract of Jerome James. There was no mention of who might be offered up from the HEAT.
The offer for the Bulls would be a huge upgrade in talent that wouldn't compromise the team's desire to pursue a marquee free agent this summer. Mike James and Jerome James are both expiring deals in the $6 million range, and both Hinrich and Butler make in between $9.5 and $10 million this season. Financially it would even help the Bulls because Butler has one less year on his deal than Hinrich does—something that could prove to be very helpful when it comes time to extend Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose.
So why would the Wizards take on more money? They're desperate to shake things up. It's hard to believe they'd make the trade that Jones suggests, but the way things have gone for the Wiz this season anything is possible.
But as David Aldridge pointed out at NBA.com, the investigation probing into the incident with the guns is likely going to put any major trade on hold for the time being. One more way this team has complicated its own situation even more.

It would be amazing if Caron went to the Heat. They'd have a second star, and would wipe out one more Free Agent destination.

They'd still be able to sign one max free agent, in addition to resigning Wade. I don't think that the 3 max contracts idea was realistic anyway, but there have long been rumors that Riley was trying to pull it off.

be ready for more rumrs around Caron cause the Wiz that Arenas is going NO where after the whole gun fiasco...
to me if anything it makes Caron and Antwan trades more likley because no one will touch Gilbert and the Wiz will still want to drop salary some how

Um, only if they trade away long term contracts, which is not what Washington will take. They're only going to want expirings and probably young talent.

they don't have any long term contracts. As of right now they only have $7 million committed to salary next year for 2 players. They have 2 team options for another 5.5 million that they can clear if they want and the cap hold on Wade.
