Actually, now that we have both Nene and Wall back, our record is improving dramatically! All our players now are hard workers. Javale McGee is, indeed, lazy, and I doubt that he will ever develop into a great player (though he certainly has the skill set).

But Washington has won its last 5 home games, including a win over Chicago tonight. We have won 7 out of 10 since Wall’s return.

He’s always been that way and they traded away nene who was a good guy that wanted to stay. They have know one to blame but themselves, its not McGee fooled them. after a horrible season in washington full of bloopers and head scratching plays they traded for the guy and paid him $44 mil. Whos fault is that?

Carlos Boozer for JaVale and two first round picks. Coach Thibs can teach him few things because he is running up and down the sidelines almost running the refs over on every play. You can probably hear Thibs saying to JaVale “No Shaqtin”

Sore feet? He’s been on the court for less than 40 games in basically what is a full season now, and that’s just counting his time in DC. He was hurt all the time in Denver as well.

Nene is more overpaid than McGee (13m to 10m) and he barely sees the court. Not really sure how Grunfield should get an award seeing how his team went 0-18 this year.

When are teams going to wise up and stop paying unprovens on potential?

The Wiz got Nene for him. The GM Grunfeld should get an award. Even with sore feet, Nene is a huge improvement.

Karl is a control freak in the true Carolina mold. Like Larry Brown, he wants things done the Carolina way, which too date, hasn’t been too successful. Playing MaGee like a yoyo certainly doesn’t teach him what he need s to learn, nor does it allow him to play long enough to establish himself as a player.

Sure, he has been immature in some of his actions, but at what point does coaching come in to the equation? I say let the man play long enough to see what he has. Maybe it’s a failure of the coaching staff and not the player.

One thing is for certain, Javale isn’t going to be beating himself up if he doesn’t meet other folks expectations and hopes for him. He’s got a life outside of basketball that he loves a lot, and thanks to the kind folks of Denver, he now has a guaranteed fortune with which to enjoy it. In short, he’s not driven to succeed because he feels he already has succeeded. For the folks who are clamoring for Karl to play him 35 minutes a game, you can’t just multiply his minutes by 2 and not expect to get 2X as many foolish plays. How do you think his teammates will feel about seeing that every night? Your team will implode from the “knuckleheadedness” of playing a fool just like what happened with the Wiz. Believe me, you don’t want to see that happen to your team

Reblogged this on PG13 @ BI08's NBA Blog and commented:
A few years ago I was so excited about the potential of JaVale McGee. With his long frame and exceptional athleticism, I just knew that he was a defensive star in the making. Three years later, looks like the only thing JaVale has been the star of is “Shaqtin’ a Fool”

You boys are just……….. leaving ”
Still the greatest movie know to mankind, why did DeNiro have to introduce a heroin dealer to Pluto(jim B ) ? Still miss him.

Clippers would suit him in where all he had to do is jump, catch the ball, then dunk.

So glad he’s gone. Better to have less talented guys who work hard than talented knuckleheads. (Of course, I’d rather have neither)

Forget about it, that’s the way it is and that’s the way it’s going to be in the future. In pro sports 25 is right where you are supposed to dominate, it’s your prime, so that’s it for him. He’s not gonna become the second coming of the big fundemental, no way! They will trade him next year, mark my words. A championship caliber team cannot have that type of bozo on its roster, it’s just not possible. A least Rodman was a hard-working bozo, it’s not the case here.

I think what Karl really wanted to say was ” fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life”.
