    Throw in a late round #1 in that last trade.

    Bayless/Roy
    Roy/Rudy
    Butler/Nic/Dante
    Lamarcus/Juwan/Pendergraph
    Camby/Lamarcus/Juwan

    Why not? We can lose Blake, Outlaw, Miller, Webster, and a #1. If it doesn't work Camby will back up Oden next year (I think Przy is done) and Nic can sit behind butler for two years. Bring over Claver, Freeland, or Kop to fill depth needs next year. What do you think?

    Trade #2 the Wiz would hang up the phone. They could get far more for Butler than that. They would demand either Batum or Rudy at the very least.

    I could see this possibly since they get Batum and we take Stevenson's contract off their hands.

    Trade #1 doesn't make any sense since Camby is an expiring contract and big man insurance for them as well. It's not like they need a PF with Blake Griffin waiting in the wings either.

    Neither trade makes any sense really. The Wizards are not going to want to exchange guaranteed contracts for more guaranteed contracts.

    As was said, trade #2 is no good for Washington. They'd either want a lot more talent, or to remove salary. In this case, they do neither. Not good for them. I'd consider trade #1. Would prefer to wait until Rudy is healthy. But I do like how our team looks when everyone on the floor is a threat to score.

    Both trades would be laughed at.
