Wizards Trade Young, McGee for Nene


The Clippers have traded for Nick Young as part of a three-way deal, a source tells Yahoo. Washington is also sending JaVale McGee and Ronny Turiaf to Denver and, in return, will acquire Nene, Brian Cook and a Draft pick. According to the Washington Post, Nick Young has to sacrifice his Bird rights, but will likely approve of playing in Lob City: “As part of three-team deal, Nene goes to the Wizards, JaVale McGee to Denver and Nick Young to Clippers, sources tell Y! Sports.”

  • Hart26

    wtf……..Nick Young to LAC is perfect but Mcgee for Nene?

  • abaci

    i gotta say WHAT??? one more time

  • AJ

    Bum & Bummer

  • LA Huey

    This is the most fun a trading deadline has ever been for me. Can’t believe DC didn’t make sure to unload Blatche. Still, this must make John Wall happy. Nene’s probably peeved.

  • el_larsen

    mcgee and george karl !
    it will be very very fun haha

  • http://nba.com/bulls The Babe

    Why would you ever trade Nene for Mcgee? a theory is Nene wanted out but I dont see why unless it was George Karl

  • Dungeon Family

    I feel sorry for George Karl

  • bnets

    Kenneth Farried is the future star for the Nuggets now

  • IamYOU

    nene, nuggets will miss you.. mcgee.. washington won’t.

  • abaci

    If Nene wanted out why did he re-sign with denver?

  • iLL-P

    John Wall & Nene, I love that! Good to see the Wizards rebuilding in the right direction.

  • el_larsen

    so the clippers get nick young For brian cook and a late first round pick?
    not bad

  • el_larsen

    wow the blazers just fired mcmillan!
    crazy

  • BoWeezy24

    Nuggets Are Going To Be Dangerous!!! Or No? Hahaha

  • http://idunkonthem.blogspot.com albie1kenobi

    this is a shocker. i thought nene was playing well and like to be in denver?

  • jayrose

    wow really surprised about nene getting traded

  • IamYOU

    @el_larsen reading that comment, I think stan van gundy is next.

  • BoWeezy24

    Mike D’antoni Will Sign With The Blazers!!! JK JK Haha

  • T-Money

    allen will be happy but i don’t like this move for clips at all! they’re already terrible defensively. and nick young back home? that sounds like trouble for a follower like him.

  • http://cnbc.com JTaylor21

    The nuggets are out of their damn minds. If y’all think McGee excelled in the art of stupidity, just wait until that “mile high” air gets a hold of him.

  • MDubb3

    Nick young going back to his hometown

  • http://www.slamonline.com Red

    WTF SLAM why can’t I post.

  • http://Slamonline.com nbk

    George Karl will reign Javale in. This trade works for everyone.

  • Otis

    Just adding my voice to the chorus of WTF????s here. There must have been something going on behind the scenes in Denver – this deal makes no sense for pretty much anyone (except the Wiz, obviously)

  • http://Slamonline.com nbk

    D’Antoni should replace VDN. The Clippers have the perfect SSOL roster.

  • Otis

    @nbk – d’you think he will, though? McGee’s a great talent, but he plays as dumb as a box of hammers, and Karl has an almighty task on his hands trying to change that…

  • el_larsen

    lol @jtaylor
    @tmoney i hope chris paul will tutorate him
    but what the clips really need is to fire vinny del negro in the offseason and to ink nate mcmillan

  • http://slamonline.com/ Abe Schwadron

    Praise the lord. I don’t even care about Nene, fine, we’ll take him. Cool. But thank god, no more Javale/DC jokes. No words can describe….

  • http://slamonline.com LakeShow

    Seriously though nbk. D’Antoni would make them win 65 games a year with the line up they have. Would they win a chip? Prolly not.

  • Heals

    ^^^People our man is DEAD serious, I don’t even wanna bring up that ya’ll still have Blat, naw , not even going to do it. Enjoy it DC fans…

  • el_larsen

    wow DC fans really hate javale!!

  • http://www.twitter.com/_dfrance dfrance21

    I wonder if Allenp thinks this is the move that will allow Javale McGee to flourish.

  • Waggle

    Wow. Just wow.

  • http://thetroyblog.com Teddy-the-Bear

    John Wall and D’Antoni would be AWESOME. Make it happen!

  • http://www.waihak.blogspot.com Tariq

    YES!

  • Paul H

    Maybe George Karl can whip Mc Gees talent and potential Into shape. Kid just needs a bit of direction. Huge move for a faltering Clippers team. OKC Has to be worried cause the Clips, Lakers and the Spurs all got a LOT better today.

  • Waggle

    I don’t think nick is gonna get much playing time on clippers, they have a lot of talent already./

  • Paul H

    Young will start. If he can provide 15 a game behind Blake and Paul this Is a fantastic move for the Clips.

  • http://nyill.wordpress.com/ O

    D’Antoni is gonna turn Wall and Nene into annual all-stars…

  • http://cnbc.com JTaylor21

    nbk, I doubt George Karl at this stage in his career has the time and patience needed to deal with a knucklehead.

  • http://www.slamonline.com house

    Nene for McGee? There is no effing way that trade makes any sense. McGee is a damned sneaker wearing trainwreck, can he turn it around? Yes anyone has the potential to, doesn’t mean he will.

  • http://www.slamonline.com house

    Anyone got any info on any Bull’s moves? Would love to see Rip shipped for a solid 2.

  • Mike from Spain

    I’d love d’antoni to work wonders with the wizards, and that they thrash the knicks when they meet next.
