can we change the Wizards name while we're at it?
Would the Generals sound better?


I always liked the Justices that play on the Supreme Court.  





I would say go back to the Bullets but lets be honest, they have been more like the BBs the way they have been the past few decades.
Bullets came to my mind first then i thought it might be a slap in the face of the guys who are still around that played on those teams.On the other side of the coin i have this gut feeling the Wizs will turn the corner in a few seasons with making the playoffs.Its a matter of making a few moves in the off season.A lot depends on their ownership.I like what i see in J.Walls and surprise how good G.Arenas has gelled with him on the court so far.Maybe im missing something but i can see them getting better quicker than some other teams around the league.

Until they dump Gilbert and Blache, the locker room will be an issue.


Then, they need to find some actual size to go inside. 
As i said "maybe im missing something"its news to me that Blache is a headache in the locker room?Although ive had my gut feelings he might a tough nut to crack.In other words i felt he might be the kind of guy who thinks his team needs him a lot more than he needs them.

You mean multiple fights with coaches.  His refusal to play defense.  His sulking when his number is not called enough. 

The whole sitting on the bench and refusing to go back in event of last year. 


Look through his NBA history.  It is filled with immature acts and a refusal to be coached up.  He is the type of player you want as far away from your young building block of the future.  (not to mention he is softer the Bosh)
Now that you mentioned it i do remember last year sitting on the bench incident.I didn't know much about the other crap but i always got the feeling he might be a problem.I do remember last season when he complained about KG being in his face to close but i asked why didn't he take it up with KG on the court instead of whinning to the media.I can see him being another Rue Paul.

I live and DC and it has been the topic of more then one occasion.

I live there 1 yr.with my fav.uncle years ago and the Bullets were one of the hottest teams in the NBA at the time.They have been at the top and see them go through all the transitions over the years is sad in ways.I hope J.Walls will be the beginning of a positive change for them.But thats what i thought when Gilbert first hit DC.

Blatche makes Charlie Villanueva look like a DPOY candidate. Add in his surly, self-entitled attitude, and he's poison to a team trying to rebuild. They've got to trade him.

Make Wall the franchise cornerstone. McGee is a nice piece as well, maybe not a second banana, but a starting-caliber player.

How did you make this comment without actually reading the thread?

There was a mention of the Kings on the first page, the second page, and the 5th page (as far as relocating). I didn't even look at the 3rd/4th page.
