    Appears only Marcin Gortat will be staying with the Wizards due to a roster space issue. I know we've got a full roster, but Shannon Brown is a legit NBA 2-guard and Kendall Marshall could be our Thomas Robinson experiment all over again.

    Maybe this 5-game preseason streak has me thinking funny, but I'm all about adding the most talent possible and going 99 Trail Blazers on the rest of the NBA. 12 Deep!

    I'd love to pick up Marshall. How does the waiver wire work by the way?

    With Mo and CJ there is absolutely no need for Brown.

    I'd like Brown but idk where he would fit and what we would have to give up.

    If we had last year's roster, it would be a no-brainer. At this point though, who do you cut? Crabbe? Watson? (And please don't say Leonard, LOL.)

    I said this in the preseason thread; I would cut Watson and sign Marshall. I would offer Watson a job as an assistant coach.

    That would be great.

    How do we get Marshall? Is there a gauntlet of teams with cap space that get first crack at him?

    I might be remembering wrong, but I think the team with the worst record gets first crack at him, but since the season hasn't started, I have no idea how the league decides who gets first crack at him.

    Teams under the cap, then if multiple bids its by worse record. It goes by last years standings until the start of the new season.

    Definitely Shannon Brown. He could might make Wes expendable and Wes has the best trade value outside of Aldridge, Batum and Lillard whom we aren't going to trade. Remember this is business and you should always be thinking of how you can better your team!

    There is no way in hell that Shannon Brown would be the guy to make Wes expendable!

    Wait...do you actually watch NBA games? Shannon Brown, a crappy 3 point shooting, sub 13 career PER averaging, 10 points a game (last year, NOT his career) scoring SG makes Wesley Matthews expendable? I'm not even sure he makes ME expendable.

    And that's saying a LOT because Matthews ain't exactly a star.

    As for the comment about making the team better?? Um, isn't the whole point of making the team better to ACTUALLY make the team better??

    Only person we should possibly cut is Watson. What's with all the Kendall Marshall love? He's not an explosive athlete and he literally can't shoot in the NBA. I don't really believe in absolutes but he's a player in Europe at best.

    Wasn't he one of the ones that was supposed to be good? Talk about a wasted pick.

    Marshall is like 21......6'5" backup PG. I think he'd be great. Shannon Brown is a joke of a player, no thanks.

    He was supposed to be good but a pure passing point guard does't exist in the NBA anymore. If he was playing in the 70s he might have been an all-star.
