Washington Just Got A Lot Better

[thead]

Okafor and Ariza for Lewis and 46th pick


Wall
Beal
Ariza
Nene
Okafor

could do worse I suppose

[Red and White]

This was an excellent trade for both teams.

NO is gonna be stacked around Davis.

[Maleko]

Great move by Washington.

They now have two big men with a history of injuries and they got a chucker SF. I think this is more likely to bomb than to work out. Nice upgrade on paper but after tip off I don't know.

i think a chucker who isn't blatche is a good thing. ariza isn't the best player but him on beal with wall breaking down and two big men down low, one of which is a fantastic rebounder, could show a marked improvement next year. but they wont make the playoffs with their bench. one more year of the lottery for them i think. but if they can show wall they are turning a corner it is a big plus for them.

yeah i really don't like this trade for washington at all either

Ariza has been a hot potato in recent years. You have to wonder why he's getting passed around...

Okafor played 82 games in 3 of the last 5 seasons and 72 games in one of the 2 years he missed games. Not bad at all for someone with a history of injuries...

I have my doubts Trevor Ariza will start as Jan Vesely has shown tremendous progress throughout last season and I expect him to be a starter in 2012-13.
