And agree 100 percent with you on Blatche. Villanueva is sunk money at this point, but at least he seems like a good guy and good teammate. I want no part of Blatche around Detroit’s young players.

CV is a goofball and an irritant, but he's not a disruptive force. if blatche was the type of guy who stayed in the background and kept quiet, his stupidity and selfishness wouldn't be quite so bad. but he fancies himself a leader - he literally and unilaterally proclaimed that he was the team's captain at the team's first game as he addressed the crowd - and that type of guy is the kind of guy who will destroy a team's chemistry. if there is anything worse than no leadership on a team, it is bad leadership. stay away from this guy. no wonder a team like washington is trying to trade him. and, btw, the biggest complaint about him from everyone is that he will not go down low, but will instead shoot lazy 15 foot jump shots. he is the last person who will get in the low post so you could ride him. blatche is on his 4th coach now. both jordan and flip saunders were pretty good coaches and two very different types. two interim coaches also.

I also think a better coach than anything they've ever had in Washington will at least make him more productive.  I took a look at his contract and its not outrageous for what he can produce.  I was surprised he's got 3 years and about 23-24 million after this year.  For some reason I thought he was at the 9-10 million mark.  The contract is one year longer than CV but totally doable for his potential production.

I wouldn't expect any benefit from it but there is at least a chance that the change of scenery will do some good for both. My hope remains CV for Blatche.
