Is one-and-done the best option for Nick Young?

Via Washington Post  |  December 14, 2011
Will Nick Young sign a one-year deal and come back to Washington? Will the Wizards take advantage of their ability to give Young more years and money and tie him up long-term? Or will Young jump at the first offer sheet that comes close to what he wants? The preseason opener is Friday and the season opener is less than two weeks away, and time is dwindling for those decisions to...

Big deal doesn't mean amnesty for Wizards' Lewis

Via Fox Sports  |  December 14, 2011
Rashard Lewis says his big-money contract is nothing to be ashamed of. It became fashionable to pick on players like Lewis during the NBA lockout. His six-year, $118 million deal was cited as an example of spending run amok in the league. Such contracts led the owners and players' union to offer each team a one-time amnesty clause once basketball resumed. Lewis expected to...

Flip Saunders wants Nick Young to return to Wizards; Andray Blatche gets hard hat

Via Washington Post  |  December 12, 2011
The Wizards went through their third straight day of practice Sunday without restricted free agent Nick Young, who remains in Los Angeles without much progress being made toward a new deal. Jordan Crawford and Roger Mason Jr. have spent most of the time playing at shooting guard. Mason shot the ball well in the two scrimmages that were open to reporters, and Crawford still hasn...

Kevin Seraphin comfortable with role, language

Via Washington Post  |  December 14, 2011
Last year during training camp, Washington Wizards forward-center Kevin Seraphin was doing all he could to fit into a new team and a new country.

Ronny Turiaf: “I’m with a team that wants me”

Via Washington Post  |  December 12, 2011
The past few days have been such a blur for Ronny Turiaf, with the New York Knicks holding him out of the first day of training camp in expectation of a trade that would allow them to add Tyson Chandler. Turiaf was holed up in a hotel, then found out that he was headed to Washington in a three-team deal that was finalized on Saturday afternoon, allowing him to practice with his new...

Chris Singleton is Wizards’ all-around defender

Via Washington Post  |  December 13, 2011
When NBA players discuss versatility, it’s normally in reference to playing several positions or scoring from a variety of spots on the court. In Chris Singleton’s case, it means the skill to defend every position, and that’s exactly why the Washington Wizards selected the forward with the 18th pick in the first round of the NBA draft.

Wizards Training Camp Update

Via NBC Washington  |  December 12, 2011
The Wizards are four days into training camp and four days away from their first preseason game. Let's take a look at what's been going on with the team so far.

That player could then decide whether to keep the hat...

Wizards’ Rashard Lewis on Dwight Howard situation: ‘They can’t focus on just being a basketball team’

Via Washington Post  |  December 12, 2011
Less than a year after the Orlando Magic dealt Rashard Lewis to the Wizards, the franchise has already waived the player it traded him for — writing a $63 million check for Gilbert Arenas simply to go away — and is already in crisis mode with franchise player Dwight Howard formally requesting a trade.

Via Washington Post  |  December 12, 2011
