Not only do you have the NBA draft, where you can get that rare cornerstone player for your franchise, but that is when all the big free agent signings happen.

Mind boggling: “Earl Boykins man is listed at 5-foot-5, 139. His max bench press is 315 pounds. This makes him the Wizards’ strongest pound-for-pound player. And a lot of people, I told him, are surprised by that number. ‘I think they should be,’ he said. ‘I think they should be.’ Teammates, too. I guess to NBA veterans and longtime observers, the 315 number is sort of legendary, but to newcom...

Now on the injured list for the Wizards is their team captain, Antawn Jamison, swingman Mike Miller, Foye, and back up point gaurds Mike James and Javaris Crittenton. Foye's injury put the Wizards in such a tight spot last night that Deshawn Stevenson and Nick Young were being asked to play the point position last night. That last sentance alone was enough to spark the Wizards front offi...

What, Muggsey Bogues wasn't available? This is good from an entertainment standpoint, but pretty disappointing from a talent standpoint.  It'd be nice to have a point guard who, you know, played like a point guard.  Brevin Knight would have been better, in my opinion.  But hey, it's just a stopgap ...

Players are starting to flock to the Euro strengthened European leagues forgoing previously more lucritive contracts in the US. The latest is the little journeyman Earl Boykins.
