With the 20th pick in the 7th Round the Minnesota Timberwolves select Josh Howard
How the mighty have fallen, huh?
He along with John Wall, the return of publicly conscious Arenas and an emerging McGee are why I think the Wizards will be a very dangerous 7 seed in the playoffs this year.
Isn't being a dangerous 7 seed what got them into this mess in the first place?
Ha. True, very true.
The Wizards should stop looking at the glory days when they could take the Cavs to a 6 game series and start looking at the Thunder on tips to rebuild around a start. Signing Josh Howard and keeping Arenas should not be part of the program.
Man is anyone else irrationally jealous of OKC fans? They're like a college team that's playing in the pros..there is none of that veil of cynicism that hangs all around a lot of teams (Miami first and foremost).
The difference is that was a 7 seed that was getting older or already peaked. They will continue to get better every year as Blatche, McGee and Wall develop.
They signed Josh Howard for extremely cheap considering how good he was before he got hurt and I doubt teams were exactly knocking down the Wizards door to get Arenas and his huge contract.
