How the Wizards have two large trade exceptions
The underreported part of the two trades the Wizards made last February is that the Wizards also acquired two trade exceptions in the deals. One is a $6 million trade exception from dealing Brendan Haywood to Dallas, and another is a $4.5 million trade exception from trading Drew Gooden to the...
A Clippers Fan's View On Al Thornton
I'm heading to Ernie Grunfeld's press conference in about an hour. WashingtonWizards.com will have live video and I'll try to post a link to it if I can. In the meantime, I traded some e-mails this morning with Steve Perrin of Clips Nation, SB Nation's Clippers blog, about Al Thornton. His...
Quick impressions of our new players
This is just to get the ball rolling. They're not meant to be complete evaluations or be seen as complete truth. However, I've watched and studied Dallas a lot this year, and here's my snap impressions on the four guys we got: Josh Howard: Similar to Caron Butler in that he's turned from a...
Why the Wizards-Mavericks trade is an all-around epic fail
Most NBA trades involving rebuilding teams have to be evaluated in three components. One is whether the rebuilding team got somewhat decent current talent back. The Wizards clearly didn't. The second is whether they got young talent or future assets back. The Wizards didn't. The third is...
The Wizards are at the crossroads of franchise-dom.
There is no doubt in my mind that the Wizards have reached the preverbal fork in the road. We're 8-17. The season is close to a third over. We have not demonstrated any progress from the beginning of the season. Sure, we've played close games, but against teams like the Raptors, Bucks,...

If that was your reaction (and it's exactly how I would have reacted if I was...
Is Mike Miller a long-term keeper?
I'm at work, so this post won't have the ordinary depth that most of the front-page posts have on here, but a nagging question has been bugging me all day. Did we acquire Mike Miller to trade him, or does he have a long-term future with this team? I'm pretty confident that Ernie Grunfeld traded for...
Whisperings From the Confederacy
Rumors and team building are arguably my two favorite things in the whole world, besides slam dunks that is. Today, I bring you all three.ESPN's Chad Ford, who plays poker with Western Conference GM's on Fridays and clubs with Eastern Conference presidents of operations on Tuesdays, dropped a rumor...
Draft Rambles
Well we're all bored pre-draft, so lets take a look at some of the news, or potentially non-news, depending on what ends up happening around the league in the coming couple weeks. -Harden showed up on a workout for the Grizzlies and apparently shot terribly, but looked athletic enough, which is a...
Let There Be Life
Three trades rumored to be done deals today, none of which really directly effect the Grizzlies, but two could have some meanings in their offseason. First: Spurs deal Oberto, Bowen, Kurt Thomas to Bucks for Richard Jefferson.Could be a nice deal for the Spurs, although they're looking awfully...
