But Blatche is stuck in DC, he is completely untradeable so what do you do in that case. I know trading someone with the upside of McGee isn't ideal and I agree that its not exactly the best situation to trade him in this weak draft but that team needs to start developing a system/character and those two together make it very hard to do when they are together.

If I'm the wizards I'm trying to surround Wall with guys who care about winning/improving as much as that kid does and that as long as McGee/Blatche is there that's a team of boneheads. I understand he is big and athletic but I would be more surprised to see him as a main cog on a championship team than to see him getting caught in a massive drug bust.
I can deal with head cases if they care about winning. It's why I've come to like Boogie Cousins, kid is off his rocker and immature but you can sense the game matters to him. I think that is something you either have or don't and I'm not sure it is there with McGee. It's fine adding a headcase to me if its a team of stable, mature guys (ie Artest on Lakers) but when your a young team I think you have to be wary of building a negative culture which really struck me when watching the wiz this year. I mean look at Chicago/Dallas this year, those teams thrived on chemistry and one star player, that is as important as anything. Obv. I don't know Javale so im insinuating but everything about the guy screams clown to me and I've watched enough Knicks basketball the past decade to know clowns usually don't turn that corner.
Basically, I'd prolly pass on having a guy who would pimp out his own mother to win a dunk contest

It would mean nothing if it was any other program, Duke has had the same coach for 20 years. Coach K is the most overrated coach of all time. You can't have that many players fail at the next level and not take some of the blame. He is a great recruiter for his system there is no arguing that. But the athleticism and mental toughness just isn't there (in his players) Hence why they always choke.
