I like the trade for the Wizards, Foye is better than any player they could get at 5....only possibility I could see is Thabeet because they need a C, but I don't think he'll be there and I'm not sure year 1 he would be better than Haywood, McGee, or Blatche. I know people really talk up Mcgee so we'll see, but with this deal they add Mike Miller who is a damn good 6th man. I feel like with some decent C play they maybe the 4th best team in the East. Caron has gotten use to being the man, and if Agent 0 can be healthy he is a legit #1. If they can play together again it could spell trouble, Jamison is an AWESOME 3rd option and I really like Foye...he may have a break out year. Miller as the 6th man is a luxury not many teams have and like I said if they get decent center play look out. If Thabeet isn't there I think they made a GOOD trade and I hate it for Minny, seems like they are always ****ing up. Should have kept Mayo, that was a retarded deal.

I don't mind the Mayo for Love deal as Love did pretty darn good in his rookie season. (Love led all rookies in rebounding {9.1 per game}and double-doubles {29}) But I hate this deal for Minny, the only way this is worth it for them is if either Rubio or Thabeet fall to them because Foye is better then any other player they can get with that pick. (and it could be said that Foye will be better then any player they draft with that pick for a few seasons.)

I do NOT like the Mayo deal, never did but let's assume they get Thabeet now. How are you going to play Al, Love, and Thabeet together at crunch time? One will have to sit the bench, I think Love and Jefferson are too much a like. Rubio won't fall to them, they may trade up and get him but no way he falls. I don't even know the rest of there team, I guess they do have 2 high picks so we will see.

That's why I don't like that they made this trade, to me them getting Love made it seem like their willing to keep AL Jefferson at C so they really don't have a huge need for Thabeet (who I don't think will fall to the 5th pick even though I said something about it in my last post.) For this trade to not be a complete disaster I think they should draft James Harden(if he falls to the 5th) and Brandon Jennings as they need back court help more then front court.

Minny should really draft Lawson. He is hands down the fastest and quickest point in the draft and he rarely turns the ball over. There is talk they are looking to trade Jefferson. Not sure why they would want to do that.

Who is better, Jennings/Harden or Foye? I don't know much about Jennings or Harden...I do like Foye quiet a bit though.

I do think Foye is better then both of them (and he probably will be for the next few seasons) but since they traded him they need to improve their back court now since all they have is Kevin Ollie, Sebastian Telfair, and Bobby Brown at PG and Rodney Carney, Corey Brewer for SG (but their both SF not true SG)
