Who is the Nucleus?
Tuesday, May 16, 2006
 
Not that I was missed, by the DB's three and a half readers but I do need to apologize to the DB's overlords for missing my time slot last week. My plan to lie in wait for LeMoose in the White Mountains of New Hampshire with a "Bretton Woods Welcomes the Queen... Try the Swamp Grass, It's Delicious," in hindsight, was overzealous.

But it looks as though the Bullets are taking aim with their rifles even if NostRasheedus for the time being experienced murky clairvoyance. Isn't it funny how the Cavs win all the close ones. I'm not chewing sour grapes but David Stern has all but come right and said that he wants to have LeBron's LeLove Child. I can't wait for the demise of the Cavs. One of my operatives, General Excellence will be featured prominently for much like Nostrasheedus his lack of forsight could've gotten him divorced.

So there is a lot of talk about Nucleus and keeping the nucleus together or adding some ribosomes or mitochondria to the nucleus. But who is the nucleus? Most superfans probably share an idea of who the nucleus is, and I'm pretty sure I know we share an idea of who the nucleolus is. But who we think comprises the nucleus matter naught.

Earnie G, is of course the cellular biologist controlling the mitosis of the Bullets. All the reports I've seen him give would indicate that he wants to preserve the nucleus. But who does he think the nucleus is? I worry that he may think the nucleus includes a weak cell wall made of plywood.

Last week there was early talk about possible mutation to the nucleus. Like for example bringing in Brix Wilcox. It would seem only natural to bring him in here. Than all Ernie would have to is hunt down Mouton Chops and the entire squad from the 2002 NCAA champions will have taken a tour with the Zards. Byron I think would make for a good a second stringer on the Agent Zero whipping post players squad.

While Wilcox is a tremendous athlete who has only improved as a player in his three years in league I'm not sure he is the missing puzzle piece to this team. While some pundits have said that guards are in and big men are out the total absence of an inside game for the Bullets is killing them. Instead of just complaining lack a whining ninny her is my scout report for who is available and if Earnie decided to hold a summer 2 for 1 sale our bullets could be much improved. Or, and I'm not sold on this idea, there is always possibility of dishing off Jarvis Handiman Hayes. I like his game but unfortunately he's got a real taste for hospital food than I can’t understand.

So here are some options that I see making some personell changes would worth dealing for. And if all else fails Ernie should call Cubano, lord knows that that guy has helped the Bullets get out of some bad contracts in the past.

(Here are two players I feel would be an ideal fit, but both are under contract to their teams)
Mark Blount T-Wolves good rebounder, quick in the post.
Brad Miller (Sactwon Kings) similar player to Blount only whiter.

(those available)
Nene from the Nuggets is probably the most reasonable options the bullets have.
Kenyon Martin. He's got a hefty pricetag but could be post presence we need.
And wouldn’t this be sweet: The Return of Big Ben.

I'm no GM and I'm clearly not a cellulogist but I know something’s gotta change if this nucleus is going to produce.


And a note on dealing Jeffries – don't get me wrong I like Jared and his Galleria of jewelry but I think that he has the highest market value and Brenda, who sadly has reached his potential is just a tad bit a saccharine to sweeten any deal for any team who realizes the potential in Jared but doesn't think he's worth taking on his own. Ernie could at least offer Zero percent financing for the first two years of the purchase of the Haywood.

Party John is the flagellum.

sounds like a match.
one thing is for sure, c'ron "tough juice" is definately the mitochondria of this team. He powers shit like that.

fine incites Popeye. However, Mark Blount will make you cry. He takes yr money and then pouts about it. It's like Abscam only instead of fake Sheiks and Congressmen you get lethargic play, no rebounding and vague tales of Russian gangsters molesting Mark's little pea brain. Avoid like the PLAGUE

I 2nd Dr. Chestnutt. Mark Blount would be the worst idea in the history of bad ideas. No dice.

I live in Boston, and I watched alot of Mark Blount the last few years. He's an absolutely ABYSMAL rebounder. I remember Jim O'Brien talking to the media about how Blount just doesn't have the rebounding instinct and there's nothing he could do to teach that. Blount can shoot a 10-12 foot jumper, and that's about it. He's a less goofy version of Calvin Booth.

You're right though, our only hope is that somebody seriously overvalues Jeffries and/or Haywood.

I discuss a lot more off-season options here: Off-season Analysis
