Glad someone's sharin' my enthusiasm

damn was hoping to get jack or calderon...but there probably on the high end...
maynor is solid though, can settle with that...his knee is scary though


and please no jamison!!!!
need to steer clear of any past players and he's old and fell off...

Do we have some magical cap room I didn't know about?

he's not going to cost more than a portion of the MLE

here's a brief write up by Prada on Maynor

Maynor has always had a better reputation than his numbers suggested. He's never posted a PER above 12 and hasn't even posted a true shooting percentage above 50 over a full season. He's an excellent passer, but isn't much of a scorer and has not shown much improvement since playing well as a rookie as Russell Westbrook's backup. Fans and coaches value him because he is unselfish and cerebral, which is often a contrast to the player he's backing up.

There is definitely some upside here, to be fair. Maynor fell out of Oklahoma City's rotation after struggling to return from a torn ACL suffered in January of 2012, but started to rediscover his game once he was dealt to Portland. He played a lot behind and with Damian Lillard (357 minutes, to be exact) and started to show some of the slick passing and quickness he displayed as a rookie. He also hit 38 percent of his three-pointers, which is an encouraging sign because he has to demonstrate some scoring ability if he wants to stick. His defense was poor, but that should improve with fewer minutes alongside another smaller guard and one more year removed from ACL surgery.

Eric Maynor joins Wizards, giving John Wall a competent, but unspectacular backup - SBNation.com

i really wish the Wizards would hire Lionel Hollins. he's a great coach...we need that. i like wittman but hollins is a big improvement.

I think they'll give Randy more time. He's done a pretty good job the last two seasons, espicially with the circumstances hes been dealing with. His no nonsense approach has helped the team take more responsibility for their play.

If Wall and Nene get injured and the team starts off badly again, we may be able to finally part ways with Ernie and a new HC will be installed.

We may also get back into the lottery in a stacked draft

We in a win-win situation brehs.. either our young core gets playoff experience or we get in position to get a future superstar... (though Wall is supposed to develop into that but if he gets injured...)

 

[BOX ALARM]

Maynor is a good pick up. He is a solid back-up PG. Plus he's a local.

good move

have to imagine Ariza will be on the trade block

4 year deal though? Interested to see the #s ... hope they didn't use all of the MLE on Webster.

EDIT:
Of course Ernie used the ENTIRE Mid Level Exception on Martell

I love Martell but that's just too much. The 3 years $10 million talk was about as far as I thought it would go. SMH.
