I would definitely take Barbosa for Crawford over Fab Melo and a first. Why the hell wouldn't you?
Fab Melo has a guaranteed contract next year. The dude sucks. The first rounder is another guaranteed contract as well with a pick in the teens in a weak draft. Why would you want 2 guaranteed likely awful to mediocre players instead of an open roster spot and a bit of extra money?
Yeah. Need the extra cap space to overpay another mediocre player, because there sure as hell aren't any stars or other good players lining up to come to Washington.
I have no idea why the Jazz didn't trade Jefferson/Milsap. Do they really expect to keep Jefferson/Milsap/Favors around and really expect to be able to utilized them to their fullest. Feels like that is quite the big mistake.
How is Washington a loser? I don't get it. They traded a guy they didn't have a plan for for cap space. They took on no bad contracts or any contracts for that matter.
EDIT: They wouldn't draft another SG if they drafted Thompson is what I'm getting at...
They traded their best bench player for a guy that will never play for them and one of the worst players in the NBA.
They traded for two minimum contracts JM, let's not act like they cleared a massive amount of cap space that they'll be able to sign a star or any good player with. They cleared enough cap space to sign a guy like Roger Mason. Congratulations Washington.
The 17th pick > A free roster space when the only people that want to play in Washington are the caliber of A.J. Price, Roger Mason and Cartier Martin.
The Wizards don't need cap space to tank. You just have to be bad. And the Wizards probably won't be bad next year due to Wall being there a full season, improvements from a Beal plus potentially drafting Shabazz or Nerlens.
Notorious, Washington does not have a shot in hell at drafting anyone next year that will take them to any new level at 17. They need to TANK HARD. Not take on more guaranteed contracts. Jordan Crawford is not going to take them to any level above where there at either, so you ship him out. Beal's their SG, go with it. They can stream 10 dayers all year with that roster spot and it'll be a better decision for the franchise. They already have 67 million invested next year, they don't need to take on a bad contract...
And the Wizards also don't have a shot at hell at signing any good player with that luxurious cap space and open roster spot.
Crawford isn't even a bad contract, he's on a rookie contract. He barely makes over 1 mil a year. And it's not like you can't tank with guaranteed contracts on your roster. Look at the Wizards now.
And why trade the best player off your bench when you don't have to? Pointless.
Crawford will make 2.2 mil next year, that is not a bad contract and it's pointless to trade him. What about Vesely making $3.3 mil? Or Okafor making $14.5 mil? Or Ariza making $7.7 mil? Or Nene making $13 mil?
I doubt there's a line up of guys looking to acquire any of those guys so I don't see the point in mentioning them...
