Brian Westbrook leaves Redskins Park with no deal, heads for Denver

I'd love to see what Lebron could do playing in D'Antonti's offense."

That'll be a positive outcome if the Knicks find a way to also keep D Lee.

Then's there's the tricky issue of their not having a solid point guard.

If I'm LB James, I watch what happens in Miami before heading to New York.

If Wade stays and Riley comes down to coach, Beasely, Wade, James, Richardson makes for an interesting line up headed by a great coach.

Damn. I like Westbrook.

Is it possible that Albert Haynesworth is at Redskins Park, but he collapsed in the driveway from exhaustion after walking 10 feet? Someone should check if his car is there and then give him a twinkie, a fluid IV and an oxygen mask.

"If I'm LB James, I watch what happens in Miami before heading to New York".

Don't sleep on Chicago Moe. A few NBA insider's were talking about how LeBron & Chris Bosh made a pact at the Olympics to play together.

Derrick Rose, Bosh, and LeBron would be a force. Plus, it's a little curious LeBron is changing his number, might be a tell....

The Knicks are garbage why would any superstar want to go play there? The Wizards have enough cap space to get a new proven coach like Avery Johnson , a new GM and another star to pair with Lebron..

I'd rather have Westbrook than that illiterate, back-stabbing Clinton Portis

Agreed about the point guard issue in NY. They'd probably be better served trying to grab a good guard than holding onto D. Lee.

I think Chicago is a better fit than Miami for Lebron. Think Rose and Noah are good, plus they could grab another player to go along with Lebron.

Miami has Wade, but that's about it. The other guys you listed aren't any better than what the Cavs have now.

Think of this group: Wade, James, Beasely, Pat Riley.

Now, think of Miami--the one place a lot of athletes just love.

It's a killa situation that any media savvy, attention-hound (like James) would want to play in.

That's why, even though Chi-Town (except Jordan's shadow) is a better fit, LBJ in Dade County is very attractive.

The Knicks are a talentless wasteland that should've won at least one title during the Riley era.

James should go to Miami.

Former Washington Redskin and NY Giant middle linebacker Antonio Pierce has been contacted by the Redskins, the team that he broke into the league with. While not looking to bring him in right now, head coach Mike Shanahan was curious to talk to Pierce and get a general idea how his rehab from a back injury suffered last year was progressing. Stay tuned.

yeah z, thats overrated...yikes....

How it's used nowadays: Thug = ni**er

Just say what you really feel and quit trying to be cute with it. The crap is past transparent.

NFL players get into just as much trouble, naw scratch that, NFL players get into MORE trouble than NBA players.

Anyway, I'm impressed with the basketball acumen on RI. Been going in and out, but haven't had anything to say, y'all ma'truckas are on it!

Would like to see the Wizards get Wade this summer, then trade Arenas next year for a mid level player or draft picks and go get Durant.

Shut up! It can happen...

haha, red, betts for brady buddy...that can happen too right??

"Pierce out to prove you can go home again."

LMAO!

Let's get an uncluttered look at Parker, Johnson, Torian, Portis, and Williams.

Posted by: MistaMoe

Cosign that, especially about the young guys Torain and Williams. I hope they do get a decent look.

Payton was better than Stockton for a window. Stockton's played for almost 20 years thats why his stats are so good. Isiah kept the best player in the league from getting a title for two years. Payton's Sonics went to as many Finals as the Jazz did. I could understand arguments against Payton or Thomas but if you think Stockton lit a candle to Magic then its clear you dont know what you are talking about. The only person that you could debate with Malone is Duncan.

Posted by: KingJoffeJoffer | May 12, 2010 3:23 PM

Stock > Payton, hands down
Duncan > Malone, hands down

Magic was a better overall player than Stockton. But Stock's PG skills were comparable, if not better. You have to earn those steals to be #1 all time.

Stock vs. Isiah is debatable.. some like Isiah cause of the rings, but I still would go with stock as the better PG overall.

Malone vs. McHale is debateable.. McHale certainly played on better teams so he got the rings... but nothing I ever saw of Malone showed me that he should be in the elite pantheon.

You put Malone and KG in their primes in a gym with a ball, and I'll put my money on KG 8 days a week.

Boy, the more I think about it, the more I wanna see us get Westbrook. He'd be a great fit as a part time player and 3rd down back. As long as we don't lean on him to carry the running game, he's a perfect fit.

Blow out Parker and Johnson, roll with the Portis/Westbrook/Torain backfield.

And before I get Greg's inevitable "what happens if Portis gets hurt" comment, it's been proven time and time again you can get RBs anywhere. Denver blew thru about 7 of 'em Shanny's last year there and they still ran it pretty well. Chances are, there'll be an Alridge-type (or even Alridge himself) available if worse came to worst.

Hate that we'd be racking up so many former Iggles, but Westbrook just makes so much sense.

Ryp, Stockton was a beast, no doubt about that. But Payton 'D'd that ish up, could score, and was just as good as a passer as Stockton.

In the 90s behind Jordan and Penny, Gary Payton was my favorite player. 'The Glove' was a uckin' beast.

brown, no problems here, but I just worry about head injuries with BW...I think they did him dirty by sending him back out there so quickly after the first concuss, and him getting another one.......

fwiw, compare Larry Nance to McHale. The 2 guys were the same size and their careers nearly perfectly overlapped.

McHale played btwn 2 great players, Parrish and Bird. Nance, not so much.

Nance 17.1 ppg, 8.0 boards and 2.2 blocks
McHale 17.9 ppg, 7.3 boards and 1.7 blocks

Nance shot 54.6%, McHale 55.4%

Not a lot of difference -- yet McHale goes quickly into the HOF, Nance isn't even on anyone's radar screen.

Is McHale overrated? Absolutely.

Would like to see the Wizards get Wade this summer, then trade Arenas next year for a mid level player or draft picks and go get Durant.

Why not offer Arenas for Wade straight up?

If the Heat may lose Wade with no compensation, why not try and do a sign and trade?

Something even it's a head case, is better than nothing.

Nance=starter

McHale=off the bench for most of his career...

Darrall Imhoff had a tough go guarding Wilt Chamberlain on March 2, 1962 — the night Wilt scored an NBA-record 100 points: "I'd put my knee between [Wilt's legs] and put my arm in the small of his back. I'm trying to hold him, and he's backing in. I'm not taking any steps, but I can smell the smoke coming off the bottom of my sneakers."

Ryp, Stockton was a beast, no doubt about that. But Payton 'D'd that ish up, could score, and was just as good as a passer as Stockton.

Yeah and KG didnt win anything until he went to Boston. Stockton's PG skills dont come close to Magic. I bet you think Nash deserved all the MVPs he won. Malone vs. McHale is not debatable. Maybe Barkley vs. McHale. Malone averaged 25 and 10 over 19 years. Not even Duncan will be able to match that.

Second all time in scoring doesn't come as a fluke.

Haynesworth to Vikes dead?
3:15PM ET
Albert Haynesworth | Redskins

The Albert Haynesworth trade rumors got a little hotter recently, but now it looks like we can officially extinguish them again.

Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star Tribune tweeted on Wednesday that "I continue to hear that Albert Haynesworth to the Vikings is NOT going to happen."

As it was, the whole idea that the Washington Redskins would just eat the ridiculous sum of money they've already paid to Haynesworth and ship him off seemed a little flimsy to begin with; in fact, even though there was a report that Haynesworth was offered to the Philadelphia Eagles during the Donovan McNabb trade negotiations, the offer involving Albert might've asked for a much larger package in return than just McNabb. In any case, as of now, the fantasy of the Vikings' already formidable D-line adding one of the most dominant DTs in the league appears cooked for now.

Albert will be here for ATLEAST one more year...more than likely 2...and even more realistically the remaining 3 years....

chief was a good player....no arguement here...i'd say underrated if anything...

4thfloor

"Albert will be here for AT LEAST one more year..."

It's not even a full year.

He can be a redskin just up to whenever our season ends next winter.

Hopefully, he plays with a chip on his shoulder, garners a lil Pro Bowl luv, and sits between Bruce Allen and Mike Shananhan like the fat annoying daughter any anxious parents would want to unload.

We'll get more valuable for Prince Al if he comes in and dominates than just simply ridding ourselves of him because of 'chemistry' issues.'

Folks are correct to hate on his off season game.

But if he does come back ready to 'do his thing,' we'll be able to flip him for more value than just a couple of chips.

Posted by: iH8dallas | May 12, 2010 4:06 PM

Sorry, but I think you're probably in the minority thinking Malone > Duncan.

KAJ is #1 all time scorer. Does that mean he was better than Wilt or MJ?

KingJoffe - Malone put up great numbers, but he rarely stepped up when it counted. Thats a pretty big deal too.

Why didn't Nash deserve his MVPs?

I think KG had a better skill set than Malone - and he finally got a ring and was a pretty huge part of it, too.

chief was a good player....no arguement here...i'd say underrated if anything...

I agree on Parrish. Not sure if you can call a guy who got into the HOF right away 'underrated'

Parish was a good/very good player for sure...but great? and used in a way to diminsh McHale...that I don't buy.

The BB hall of fame is the most lax of a pro sports Halls...

But I actually like Parish....and despise arguing with Zcezest...so bowing out now...

The Yankees have lost three games in a row!

WTFFFFF!!!!

FIRE GIRARDI!!!!!

NOW!!!!!

Better yet, tie him down to a truck in Times Square loaded with bombs and Justin Beiber cds.

We spoiled Yankee fans demanded more than just a hundred wins this year!

Don't complain to me about your team as the last time I checked, they're livin' off Yankee luxury tax money and arguments about 'small markets.'

Talk to me when your team gets a ring: we got 28!

Baseball is boring?: no, what's boring are people who follow teams that don't ever win nothing!

I had hoped the Yanks would go 140-18 this season, and it looks like Joe Girardi is not gonna have the team live up to my high, unreasonable expectations.

Shouldn't they?

Its one thing not to step up against a good player. Malone didnt step up against teams like Jordan's Bulls. Doesnt make him a choke artist, and it still has nothing to do with him being one of the greats. KG is good, but again average 25/10 for 19 years and come holla at me. Keep in mind I am not a Malone fan. He was just that good.

Im sorry I thought Kobe was a better player both years especially in 05-06. I could understand the first one but Kobe got screwed the following year. Nash ran a gimmick offense that did nothing in the playoffs. I dont think im in the minority in thinking that Duncan

I just wanna see AH suffer this year -- in B&G of course.

What happened to The Mayor? It seems like every other staff writer at The Post is having a turn except Reid lately.

Could he be on the outs?

One can only hope.

I'm with G-Money on this on. McHale invented the 6th Man award. His post moves are the stuff of legend. Nance played with good PGs who gave him the ball in a positionto dunk it. He was a more polished defensive player.

On Rodman: He was more than a "role player." Steve Kerr was a role player. Rodman's defense and rebounding was essential. He D'd up the other teams best player/scorer.

?? Celts had great passers. Bird was one of the best passers ever.

On Nance, getting into good position down low is a very important skill for a big man. Its not like the guys Nance played with needed double teaming to stop them -- the Celts had more scoring threats than CLE or PHX did while Nance was there.

Mostly, I'm pointing out that Nance and McHale weren't far apart as players. Similar shooting %, ppg, rpg, blocks, etc. In the way history is written, McHale is great, Nance isn't even in the book.

Dennis Johnson = "DJ", n'est-ce pas?

"Albert will be here for ATLEAST one more year..."

I think so too, but I also see him riding the bench.

It's a shame the Redskins didn't exist when Thorpe was around... woulda been a natural...

What? Too soon?

I prefer to avoid players who have had a couple/few serious concussions. Look what happened to Portis. It is a very serious injury and the medical experts will not let them play for a while.

So, I'd keep Johnson and Parker. They havent had concussions as far as I know, at least not to the extent of Portis and Westbrook.

On the Cushing thing: I cant believe anyone would give an award to a player who racked up great numbers while on steroids! That makes no sense.

Contract Information for Albert Haynesworth
2/27/2009: Signed a seven-year, $100 million contract.
The deal contains $41 million guaranteed, including a $5 million signing bonus and his 2009-2011 base salaries.
Haynesworth is due a $29 million "poison pill" in 2013, effectively making it a four-year, $48.2 million deal. Another $15 million is available through incentives.
2010: $3.6 million (+ $21 million guaranteed option bonus due 4/1),
2011: $5.4 million,
2012: $6.7 million (+ $500,000 workout bonus),
2013: $8.5 million (+ $20 million "discretionary signing bonus" + $500,000 roster bonus due 8/31 = Poison Pill Year),
2014: $10.3 million (+ $500,000 roster bonus due 8/31),
2015: $11.5 million (+ $500,000 roster bonus due 8/31),
2016: Free Agent

The trick here is to get Albert to play 4 years and cut him at the end of 2012. But I doubt Shanahan will have such patience.

"On the Cushing thing: I cant believe anyone would give an award to a player who racked up great numbers while on steroids! That makes no sense."

My feeling have always been that steriods are more abundant in football then any other sport, they just a MUCh better job of covering them up.

I mean seriously, guys are NOT supposed to be as big as some of these NFLers are today.

What Cushing tested positive for was a masking agent for when you come off of a cycle.

Dude's on 'roids but nobody is making a big deal out of it. Why? Because a lot of dudes do steroids in football. Funny how it's such a big thing in baseball but nobody cares in football.

Just trying to get a player who paralleled McHale. Within small margins, Nance and McHale played the same years, same minutes, same scoring, same shooting %, etc etc. People saw a lot more of McHale, for obvious reasons.

You can minimize the numbers if you want, but if you could trade McHale for Nance for their careers, I think the Celts get the same results with either guy.

while mchale was effective 10ft and closer to basket him was overrated as was l.bird. I used to watch mchale get destroyed by moses malone 2 players the same height and a few other centers he could NOT play against any good centers because he was too weak and slow he could not check c. barkley either. until they got r.parrish a real center even the 76ers blew them away in the play-offs and he could not stop malone. isiah thomas and d. rodman said publicly(rodman shut bird down)if they were not white players they would never have so much publicity,and like b. russell said years ago boston is one of the most racist cities in the country.

Kevin McHale is the Richard Nixon. Like Nixon and Watergate, any good that McHale did as a player on the court was overshadowed by his lousy performance as GM of the TimberDogs.

Saw McHale plenty and the Boston front line was terrific. Never tried to compare them vs other front lines, but off the top, none better come to mind.

Bird was perhaps the best forward ever. Parish was a top tier C. McHale was a good player, on par with Larry Nance.

ah WTF

Play him and make it work

That's WTF

He's good and we suc k

Gary Payton was good, but not Stockton good. Stockton was a better passer probably equal defender. The only edge i'd give Gary is scoring, but that the George Karl system; PG's are a focal point. Utah it's all about execution and distributing, Yet stocks FG% was very high dispite the fact that he did not shoot much. furthermore The Jazz went made two finals appearances to Seattle's one. Utah would have been nothing without Stockton he made Karl Malone into a Superstar. Put Stockton on any other elite playoff team with a good supporting cast and he would have a ring or more.

Couple things I can see that seem wrong about the above:

1) it's on the freaking Redskins blog, not an NBA blog.
2) It doesn't consider important variables, such as the players' roles on their respective teams, or the success those teams had over the players' careers.
3) it doesn't offer any head-to-head comparisons, if such were available, assuming they were matched up in games;
3) It blithely concludes that McHale was overrated, rather than that Nance was underrated, without providing any reason for that conclusion.

There is absolutely no need for Westbrook so I am glad the Skins didn't give him a deal. We have RB's who can catch passes and run the ball.

We need more OL help and WR depth before signing another RB

Agreed the O-Line needs more depth, but the Skins already have NINE WR's on the team right now. Outside of Moss (the only quality #1 WR on the team), you would think they could find three decent ones out of the remaining eight.

THIS WP ARTICLE WAS ABOUT WESTBROOK AND THE SKINS. HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NBA! IF YOU WANT TO WRITE ABOUT B BALL..PICK AN ARTICLE..THAT IS ABOUT THE ROUND BALL.

WESTBROOK HAS HAD CONCUSSIONS..AND A HOST OF OTHER INJURIES...PLUS THERE IS NO ROOM FOR HIM ON THE SKINS.
THEY HAVE BROUGHT A LOT OF PLAYERS IN..BUT NONE REALLY THAT, ON THE SURFACE, WILL MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE. I THOUGHT TEAMS ARE LOOKING TO GET YOUNGER..NOT OLDER?

Sign Westbrook - Cut Portis.

I have a though about Westbrook. I think the Skins should remove the CAPS LOCK key from blazerguy's keyboard.

That is all.

Glad he's gone! The skins need another over the hill back like a hole in the head! Who's gonna be next, Jim Brown?

At least he should have had the decency to talk to the high school kids before he left!

Westbrook is a fine receiver, something the Redskins don't have coming out of the backfield.

But at age 30 and with the concussions he has suffered I don't think he is a good fit here with the group of RBs we have.

Somebody in the backfield has to play on special teams.

And with 3 veteran backs already on the roster, playing time is going to be an issue. Everyone is saying the right things now, but just wait until the preseason and we see which player(s) emerge.

I am interested to see if Ryan Torrain has come back from his knee injury at 100% or close to it. Shanahan drafted him in Denver in 2008 and he could be the younger back at 24 this club needs for 2010 to play teams and provide some spark off the bench.
