The Washington Wizards are off to a franchise worst start at 0-8 so far this season. To make matters worse, things are falling apart on the Wizards. Last week it was reported that franchise point guard John Wall was becoming unhappy on the team. Monday, CSNWashington.com is reporting that Rashard Lewis is becoming a growing concern for the team as well. Lewis got into a fight with assistant coach Sam Cassell Sunday. Lewis then decided that he did not want to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wizards claimed that Lewis had a sore knee and that’s why he did not present himself on the bench. It looks like it could be time to trade the team’s highest paid player as he has struggled this season only averaging nine points and four rebounds this season.
