Washington traded away it's 6th pick in the draft along with Darius Songalia, Etan Thomas, and Oleksey Pecherov to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Randy Foye and Mike Miller. Two years ago the Wizards were an up and coming team. That changed last year when Gilbert Arenas was injured and out all year. Brendon Haywood was also out most of the year With Arenas back, there will be ample fire power. The roster all of the sudden looks really good.
pg--Gilbert Arenas, Javaris Crittendon, Mike James
sg--Randy Foye, Mike Miller, DeShaun Stevenson
sf--Caron Butler, Nick Young, Dominic McGuire
pf--Antawn Jamison, Andray Blatch
c--Brendon Haywood, JaVale McGee
Arenas has had 50 point games while Butler and Jamison averaged over 20 points a game last year. Add to that Foye's 16 he averaged last year and the 3 point bombs that Miller is known for and you have a lot of fire power. Yound and Blatch averaged 10 points each off the bench last year as did Mike James. So, the seocnd unit is going to be able to score. This is going to be a fast tempo fun group. Will Haywood and McGee be enough inside? That remains to be seen. The question of "was this a good trade" is yes. The 5th pick has produced 10 starters in the past 14 years with 5 of them being all-stars. So, there was almost a 1/3 chance to land an all-star or land a bust. The team got a young, guaranteed starter who can score along with an experienced sharp shooter. That is a good move. Boston, Cleveland, Orlando, then Washington?
