NOW JUST DON'T END UP LIKE KWAME AND HIT A BRICK WALL (sorry for the PUN!!)

LOL @ this thread.

Congrats man!!!

Your city deserves this after what had transpired this past season.

Does this mean Mike Miller is gone also? I'd take him. NY you listening?

Miller is a free agent. He can go anywhere he wants, but John Wall is an incentive for him to stay perhaps, and also we may be able to lure a Bosh or a LeBron now. Gilbert becomes expendable to any team who lost out on a free agent.

I'd shoot myself if Gilbert Arenas becomes a Knick. No thank you!!!

Wanna trade Gilbert for Bosh? lol

Wiz, I agree.gil has to go...start fresh...yep im off the gilbert BMW.

I hope we get john wall,renardo sydney,grievis vasquez

No Wiz that looks like a fail, lol.

1. You guys can sign LeBron outright if you want to. Why sign and trade?
2. Do you really want to pick up Josh Howard's $11 million player option?
3. If you're going to trade Gilbert, don't you think you should go after a big man?

Starting Lineup:

PG - Gilbert Arenas
SG - Nick Young
SF - Al Thornton (you completely forgot him on your list)
PF - Andray Blatche
C - JaVale McGee

Bench:

1st Overall Pick
Quinton Ross (likely to pick up his player option)

Outgoing Free Agents:

Mike Miller
Josh Howard (Wizards likely not to pick up his option)
Randy Foye (Restricted)
Fabricio Oberto
Earl Boykins
James Singleton
Shaun Livingston

Cap Space After Renouncing Howard's and Foye's Rights:
$27 Million

There a lots of different things that the Wizards can look to do this off-season. Number one should be taking John Wall and making him the team's starting point guard. If they do keep Gilbert, he should move to shooting guard. You always want to make the top pick the focus of your team. Next, they should look to add some a star and a big man if they want to win now, or bring in some young, talented guys if they're still looking to rebuild.

is the curse o les boulez over? or does john wall turn into a bust? :/

Wiz will most likely resign howard...heard it on dc radio

If NY gets Gilbert to trade him for Bosh sure homie I hope NY and TOR do trade hahaha

I added Al in.

I'm about as *orgasmic* as Marv Albert was when LeBron made the buzzer beating three against Orlando last year in Game 2 of the Eastern Finals. We have a ton of options. Getting Wall gives Teddy and the boys more options, made the team more viable to prospective free agents, AND makes Gilbert expendable.

I would re-sign Howard though for a smaller salary, and he looks willing to do that. And if I want to sign and trade Gil, maybe Toronto is a good option if Bosh is trying to head out the door. I like Lee too but is he worth a 20 million a year contract?

David Lee's biggest interest outside of remaining a Knick is the Nets because he wants to stay in New York. Lee was complementing the Nets all season long this season.

I would love David Lee in DC so he can stick it to NYC! The Knicks fans think that David Lee is Bruce's brother, not their All Star center!

Every time I went to MSG and saw games David Lee was by far the most favorite of the Knicks. I've heard a lot of David Lee stay in NY talks between members of the Knicks brass and others who have said that they would want him to go and for them to sign 2 max contracts. NY Knicks management has been tongue tied all season Walsh and Mike D'Antoni have both said that they would love to keep Lee, but they had to see how this summer went before they could have any contract negotiation talks with Lee.

Since we dun know that Bosh is leaving Toronto; I would not mind at all if the Raps do a sign and trade where the Raps get Gilby in exchange for Bosh. He'll be an upgrade from Jose (definitely) and Jack as well. Plus, he'd be one of the toughest players on the roster.

Anyway, besides the point...wow, I did not see this coming for the Wizards at all.
But this should be a turning point for the Wizards...drafting Wall, that is.

Not another non defensive PG....

Joe Johnson is as good as N.Y.'s & the best part of it all is that with his pretty bad playoff performance this season he pretty much killed his chances for a max contract this season, which makes him NY property for less than both anticipated , which is good cause 1 bad season in the playoffs does not make Johnson look like a scrub. He's a legit All-Star and NY need a pure SG and shooter. Joe Johnson would make others follow. He will be the best #2 in NY since Larry "Grand-Ma-Ma Johnson". Of no relation but both pretty damn good. Now that I mention it I see a resemblance.

lol Gilbert?

and Tony; you are too funny sometimes (in a good way of course).

What funny homie? He's practically already got NY #2 in his wardrobe. Johnson is a Knick homie. And it won't be on the max, which means more monaayy monaayy monaayy thrown @ others way 1 of them being Lee...

for the time he wa son the floor this season he was OK..better than jose at the least lol

Hopefully the draft goes like this:
1 - Evan Turner... Big risk if utrade gil IMO he still has abit of time to get back into his old ways I wouldn't risk + evan turner can play the 1,2 and 3 pos if the Gilbert plan blows up he's better on the def end than wall, alot more NBA ready and will bring the must needed height to the team they have too many guards any way
and I guarantee they will probably trade Gilbert for some dleaguer, 2nd round pick and a toaster to the lakers or someshit

2 - Demarcus Cousins... With the decline of the Philly big men such as Brand, Dalembert and with their young semi rebuilding team they REALLY need young legs with size, wall won't be affective at Philly since sixers have drafted 2 Pg consistently and the progress with Lou Will and JHoliday is slowly coming across if they get the chance to draft wall and they do that would be a disgusting move since they are gonna get killedby everyteam within the post and the fromtline teams like warriors would even kill em in the paint with radmonovic starting

3 - John Wall... Trade Harris fora big man/big time scorer and they are probably one of the most complete lineups in years to come , with a young team this will make it easier For him to blend in with their fast play and athelitic semi run and gun style of offense and since wall is a problem on d you got courtney lee with weakside help d to cover for him

It's just amusing that you are so hyped up for JJ.
Not saying its not gonna happen of course; I just find your excitement amusing. hehe.

and LOL Visa; Jose's defense is crap so Gilbert would be a significant upgrade.
