So here's the big news...Wiz traded Antonio Daniels and a conditional draft pick for Mike James and Javaris Crittendon. Not a bad move. Grunfeld and the media are making a big deal about Crittendon but its Mike James that I'm really happy about. He wasn't getting any burn in New Orleans (anyone heard of CP3?) but in Toronto he put up some pretty great numbers. 20.3 points on 46.9 percent shooting (44.2 percent from three-point range) with 5.8 assists in 2005-06. PLEASE let him come to Washington and continue to shoot that way. There's a sort of Bermuda Triangle-esque thing about the Bullets/Wizards franchise that makes players come to Washington and do one of three things:
1. Acquire a mysterious career ending injury (plantar fasciitis is my personal fav)
2. Completely lose their shot
- In all fairness, most guys don't COMPLETELY lose their shot. They usually show flashes of greatness and give you false hope that maybe this time we'll actually have a three-point shooter only to disappoint you with bricks and airballs for the next 10 games.
3. Try to rent a condo for an 8-day vacation
So again, PLEASE let Mike James come in and actually hit some threes for us. Who was the last three-point specialist we had? Tracy Murray? Tim Legler? Yikes. I'm sad to see Dee Brown go. I think he was a great guy and a decent player but with the lowest scoring backcourt in the league...something had to give.
We play Boston at 8:00 PM tonight. My guess is this season will be a little different from last season when we beat them 3 times. I hope I won't be staying up until midnight tonight for nothin...
