The Washington Wizards Thread.

[CKR13]

Nene Hilario seems to be healthy and has been working out with several Wizards player. Joining them is the recently acquired guard Eric Maynor.

[CKR13]

Washington loses two bigmen:

Emeka Okafor (Herniated Disc) - Out indefinitely
Chris Singleton (Fractured foot) - 6 to 8 weeks out

[CKR13]

Washington sends Okafor and their 2014 First Round protected pick to the Phoenix Suns for Marcin Gortat and guards Shannon Brown, Malcolm Lee and Kendall Marshall.

Looks like the Wizards are going for a playoff push this year and Gortat gives them added interior presence. Brown will fit in nicely with the Wizards uptempo game.

Wizards waived Shannon Brown, Malcolm Lee and Kendall Marshall.

[CKR13]

Trevor Ariza has been productive to start the season and that goes when he is healthy. Something that rookie Otto Porter can learn from.

[CKR13]

Despite the Wizards falling to Kevin Durant and the OKC Thunder, what a game by Brad Beal!!

[CKR13]

Ariza is looking healthy alright. 3 steals in four minutes against the Mavericks.

[CKR13]

While Otto Porter and James Singleton have been practicing with the team, Wizards lose Brad Beal due to a stress injury on the leg. Beal will be sidelined for two weeks.

John Wall has been on a tear as of late. Three straight 30+ games and recently named eastern player of the week. Wizards ranked #6 in the East despite a 7-8 record.

This is a reminiscent of the 2006-07 season where eastern teams with losing records made the playoffs. Only Indiana and Miami are winning and the Bulls at .500 with an 8-8 record.

[CKR13]

Another great game by John Wall to lead the rising Wizards against Atlanta. Both teams' starters played well and it was defense that won the 4th as the Hawks were clawing back.

[CKR13]

John Wall and his Wizards are now 8-8 at .500. Wall's playmaking has improved and Washington is starting to get healthy and build cohesion.

[CKR13]

Beal returned and saved the night for the Wizards. Beal slipped by a defender and had the winning layup. What was mind boggling was that the Knicks had two timeouts left but they did not call it. Instead, Anthony got the inbound pass, advanced and shot a trey. No luck.

[CKR13]

The extent of Brad Beal's knee setback from last night's loss against Minnesota will be known today. Beal has been back for two weeks and now this. Very disappointing.

[CKR13]

Moving over, I like how Vesely has re-invented himself this season for the Wiz kids. A defensive aggressor in the perimeter and a running man for heaves such as that.
