WIZARDS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Rashard Lewis has his focus on his health

Rashard Lewis' salary follows him around wherever he goes. The maximum contract Lewis received from the Magic in the summer of 2007 has been an albatross hanging around his neck, forcing higher expectations on him and an impact his role could not produce. The Magic asked him to be more of a spot-up shooter and floor spacer in their 1-in, 4-out offense centered around Dwight...

Our friends over at Total Sports Blog captured this picture of a random Washington Bullets fan rocking a throwback #42 jersey and set it our way.

The real meat to this story is whose...

The Mystery of the 2012-2013 Coach

Well, here goes another coaching post about the Washington Wizards. I've stated before that I believe Randy Wittman should come back.

Olympics May Force John to Hit a "Wall"

I get it, The Wizards are pushing for their star point guard and #1 overall pick John Wall to replace Derrick Rose on the Olympic Roster in this summer's games that are taking place in London.

What Now?

With the season over and the NBA Playoffs moving ahead without the Washington Wizards, what should the team do now? They’ve got to evaluate some of these ten-day contracts. With Cartier Martin, James Singleton and Morris Almond still on the roster, the front office has to determine if any of these players are valuable pieces for their rebuild. I’m a huge fan of Cartier Martin...
