    several guys on Wiz forum like this deal, would you do it straight across if it was available? I am leaning to yes but mind not made up yet. His contract situation is exactly the same as Nic's, RFA this coming summer.

    Well for all those people that are throwing a fit about what we are going to pay Batum any center is going to get even more than so you better be prepared overpay him even more than Batum.

    I like his game though.

    Bigs are different. A lot get overpaid. Wings are easier to find. Id do the trade in a heartbeat

    Um any second! McGee is a solid big man and would be a young camby like player.

    That and it's almost an unwritten rule that you don't trade a big for a small.

    Apples to Oranges would be saying "would you trade David Beckham for Nic Batum." These guys are both basketball players and eligible to traded for one another so ...

    Batum gives them a guy who isnt a knucklehead. And I think he would flourish with john wall.

    I would assume that Camby would have to be included. Or Thomas and Johnson?

    Just to add a big to replace the one they traded. So they get a big for a big.

    Yes, this is closer to comparing limes and lemons.

    I'd rather trade Gerald for Javale, but I know the salaries don't match. =\
