The Washington Wizards are an intriguing team.  They have talent, but they haven’t been able to turn that talent into wins.  They started to re-make their roster last season, grabbing Nene from the Nuggets for JaVale McGee in a deal that also sent Nick Young to the Clippers. Now, the Wizards are making more moves, sending [...]

Via the LA Times: The Lakers are curious to see if veteran point guard Baron Davis gets cut by Cleveland. He has two years and $28.7 million left on his contract, though he can be signed for substantially less than that.

We've been asking all the wrong questions about Dwight Howard. All of us.  Fans.  Bloggers.  Analysts. After 2 games, people have talking about how the Magic can get Howard going.  Even after his 30 point "explosion," people wondered about how to get him better looks in the post. But it's not about how many points [...]
