| Wizards Bring Back Juan Dixon WIZARDS: Washington Wizards Sign Juan Dixon To me this is a marketing move designed to mask the severity of Arena's knee situation (I think he's out until at least the All-Star break) to the fans, but doesn't address any real team needs

| Re: Wizards Bring Back Juan Dixon Actually he is pretty good. He's been stuck sharing time in Portland and Toronto, but he's a good shooter, decent defender and has done a lot with limited minutes. He can average 10+ PPG when playing regularly. I like the move if its for depth since we can never know Arenas' health status. Losing Roger Mason Jr. was a huge loss. I don't see the current bench carrying the load if Gilbert goes down again. We still have Antonio Daniels at PG with Dee Brown (not that Dee Brown) backing him up. Then at SG we have Caron and really no one other than Nick Young behind him, so I'm guessing Dixon will be the backup SG. Gil had another knee operation last Wednesday, his third one and he's only 26. I was always a fan of his since his Terp days.

I agree that this was a logical pick-up for us as Juan is at least a serviceable point, can also play the two, and is already comfortable in EJ's system. I'm not a huge Antonio Daniels fan, and having him and Dee Brown II as our only PG's for at least the first two months of the season doesn't inspire much confidence. Juan is cheap, has no character or drug problems, can play in positions where we are thin, and will probably put a few more fans in the seats. This isn't going to make us an elite team, but it was a logical, low-risk move that is better than simply doing nothing and relying on what we have.

As for Dixon, he's an undersized shooting guard who doesn't get to the line, he's not a lockdown defender, and don't ask him to run the offense at point because the offense will just die. If he is asked to do just one thing, shoot the ball, that'll be fine. But beyond that is detrimental to the team. I wish we had kept Steve Blake, that's a pure point guard.

| Re: Wizards Bring Back Juan Dixon juan dixon wil always have a place in the hearts of marylanders. undersized overlooked local boy leads the terps to the nat'l title, that was such an amazing year. go terps!! sorry havent really followed the bullets since the days of malone, bol and company. i find it hard to root for them because arenas, while a great individual player, he needs to pass the freakin rock at least once before he puts up a contested jump shot. I understand the need in the nba to have go-to players that arent afraid of taking shots but arenas just kills me when you see the big men run up and down the floor and not get rewarded at all. as a big man player it has to inch into your psyche alil. |

| Re: Wizards Bring Back Juan Dixon I don't see the Wizards being any better than they were last year unless Young improves a ton. Also Blache needs to step up. What I'd like to know is are the Wizards better with or without Gilbert? We'll never know the answer to that one...I just hope he's serious about maturing this year. |
