The Toronto Raptors Trade: 79 Ty Lawson $1,654,440 $2,544,529 $3,610,686 85 Lamar Odom $8,900,000 $8,200,000
Total: $10,554,440
To Washington for:
77 Andray Blatche $6,442,083 $7,118,502 $7,794,921 $8,471,339 84 John Wall $5,530,080 $5,915,880 $6,674,574 $8,676,946
Total: $11,972,163
I accept, Ty Lawson is a stud, and Odom likely will rebound better than Andray Blatche in real life. However this deal does give me Wall who I believe is a franchise player.

At first, i was like: 'What's wrong with Wiz?' After thinking a little, it's a good trade. Kerr trusts Odom and likes Lawson, Blatche has a long poor contract. Wall for Ty Lawson, Lamar Odom and gerring rid of 8M per season is a good deal after all.

Thanks Lukas!
With this trade, I'll get a young player who I think has a lot of potential in Ty Lawson. Boy can score and pass the ball like any other good point guards in the league. I like Wall but I think he's not the one this franchise is looking to rebuild its future at the moment.
I also get a veteran with championship experience in Odom. I'll get rid of Blatche's mediocre contract as well.
I accept this trade.

This is actually a great move for both teams. Blatche still has potential in the league. Washington like here needs to trade him.

Value here is fine by me. Blatche takes down some of Wall's value...but Lawson is pretty damn good himself, IMO.
I'll accept it.

I think Washington's chronically underrating John Wall here. I'm sorry but I'm actually giving a reject, still to hear from Aubrey and Josh Barber though.

John Wall is a stud no doubt why I want him i see a great future for the Kid. Yes i can call him kid because i'm older. However Ty Lawson has done the same body of work as wall in regular season and has shown he can play on the big stage in the playoff. Lawson has been more productive for so far, I do see Wall being the better player base on potential down the line. But with that being said, I don't know the limits for Lawson, as in North Carolina he did get better each year. So far in the NBA he has improved every year . Plus the only knock on Lawson is he was not a lottery pick. Pretty much I am gambling on Wall's potential, he may get there, he may not. Its like Oj Mayo and Tyreke Evans, both have a crazy ceiling. Its like in 2006, Randy Foye hands down was the best PG prospect wise, but now Rondo is heads over heel better, Foye was better for the first two season. Lawson is in a system for him to strive, Wall we will see as the Wiz finally are on the right track.
With this deal the Wiz does understand what he has, hence why I am dealing a guy who is 85 this year and a expiring contract next. He is also devoted to make a comeback, which under Cp3 he will. AB is done in Washington, here is a quote that says it all about him "Andray Blatche is known for his temper tantrums, rebelliousness towards authority and a lack of respect for his coaches" If Michael Beasley can't find a stable home, AB will struggle in his career to do the same. At this point that 77 is doing down, 4 year contract is one of the worst right now. Getting rid of AB was a key component to this deal.

I'll accept. I'd rather have Lawson than Wall running my team to be honest

Yea...if Blatche weren't in there, and it was like...even Anthony Randolph or something...I might reject or think about it more. But Blatche really does bring the overall value of that side down a decent amount. And I think Boston you may be "chronically underrating" Ty Lawson as well.
To each their own, looks like it's accepted though.

I agree with every thing that's said about AB. I want to move him the soonest possible time and RC knocked on my door and we made a deal.
This deal is a win-win for both the Wiz and Raps.
