Wizards' Move #1

I named this post "Wizards' Move #1" because there has to be another move coming before the start of the season, if not before tomorrow's draft. I see the possibility for another trade soon for another front-court player with Stevenson, DMac, or James as the main piece. There's also a chance that the much improved Vladimir Veremeenko from Europe (PF, 2006 2nd round pick) is going to be signed this year to add more front-court depth.

Current Depth Chart

Starters (loosely projected):

PG - Arenas
SG - Stevenson
SF - Butler
PF - Jamison
C - Haywood

Second Unit (too many guards):

1. Miller (SF)
2. Foye (PG/SG)
3. Young (SG)
4. Blatche (PF)
5. DMac (SG, SF, or PF)
6. McGee (C)
7. Crittenton (PG)
8. Mike James (PG)

Anybody got any other thoughts? This is a good trade in my estimation, but there is still work to be done. Lots of average players on that second unit. I'm hoping to see a tight rotation of 8 players playing 30 minutes each next year (Flip mentioned this in the past).

Simple Concept:

> 40 minutes of court time each game per player (Gil, CB3, AJ especially) = Injuries

***Acknowledging this trend will likely result in less injuries next year.
