Is washington dreaming?

I thought Washington was happy with Blatchet and Mcgee as thier 2 bigs. Drafting Kanter puts them in the same postion as the Jazz if the Jazz were to draft Kanter....too many players wanting the same position in the food chain. And the Wiz would pay a hefty price to move up.
Williams might make more sense for Washington, but there is no gaurantee he will make it past #2-- so if the Wiz are already paying to move up, why not just trade with Minny and get the player they want?
^^ Blatche f**** sucks.

I keep hearing people say it's a weaker draft, so why not trade down while maybe losing a bad contract in the process. I would think in a draft that is not that deep, you'd want to be picking as high as possible to ensure yourself a better chance at getting a contributor.
This draft is 3 players deep in regards to players with "star" potential. It's very simple: Stay put @ 3 and ASSURE your franchise of landing one of those 3 players.
After Irving and Williams, who is your third? I think both Kanter and Knight have potential to be stars. I don't think anyone in this draft has franchise player potential.
I've wondered if the Jazz and Wizards would chat and if I was the Jazz, I would ask for #6, their unprotected first next year and a protected first in '14 to move up to #3. Do that and hope Knight or Walker is still around at #6. If not, see what's out there for #6.

Kanter is my 3rd, but I also think Knight is close behind him in the star potential category. I guess that means I actually think the draft is 4 players deep. With that being said, I don't think any of those 4 fall to Washington's spot. If Utah loses out on Kanter, I'd almost rather them stay put at 3 and choose betwen Williams and Knight.
This. Imagine if CJ Miles was somewhat more talented, but even more inconsistent, displayed even poorer shot selection, and was nuts. They wanted to trade him mid-season last year because he and McGee butt(ed?) heads.
That's pretty steep for them, but trading for future picks hinges on the same issue on opposite ends for both teams; If Washington thinks Kanter (or Williams) makes them a lot better, they'll drop the protection. Conversely, the Jazz would be essentially rolling the dice that that DOESN'T happen (which isn't a bad bet). Interesting to think about, but I think with the scenario you brought up, it might have to include swapping #12 and #18 as well.
CJ Miles is mentally weak, where Blatche is just lazy and selfish.

...imagine if NO NBA players had basketball brains, were very inconsistent, displayed poor shot selection and were loaded with jail-house tats?
