A Fan's Dilemma: Miller and Foye Arrive, Ruin Everything

They are finally competing with someone else, though the season is over. It seems as though the Wizards are dead set on being just as inept a franchise as the LA Clippers.

Cleanup Starts By Throwing Out The Leftovers

Seeing how the trade is, oh, three minutes old and not yet consummated, let's take stock of what Ernie 'Small Ball' Grunfeld hath wrought anyway:

Washington's pro basketball team gets two scoring swingmen who like to have the ball in their hands, and gives up a onetime starting center, a banging veteran forward, a young 7-footer and the fifth pick in tomorrow's NBA draft.

Hey, at least Brendan Haywood will never have to worry about his minutes in the pivot being cut again.

In an apparent ongoing attempt to run, gun and mirror the pre-Shaq Suns, Grunfeld, the Wizards' president, dealt away that depressing No. 5 selection and three contracts to Minnesota for Mike Miller, Mr. Outside, and Randy Foye, Another Mr. Outside, last night.

A steal may just be the start

HereI thought Kevin McHale no longer was with the Timberwolves. Or perhaps David Kahn was channeling McHale's ghost.

Wizards Make Their Move

The Washington Wizards' infatuation with Minnesota continues. The Wizards agreed in principle last night to a deal that would send the No. 5 overall pick, Etan Thomas, Darius Songaila and Oleksiy Pecherov to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for forward Mike Miller and guard Randy Foye, two league sources said.

The Wizards had been open to dealing the pick from the moment they slipped to the fifth pick in the draft lottery. Ernie Grunfeld, the Wizards' president of basketball operations, was considering several offers and had spoken with more than a dozen teams, but he jumped on the offer from Minnesota two days before tomorrow's NBA draft.

Healthy Wizards hold enviable spot in draft

In an NBA Draft that - like many before it - features one perceived franchise savior and only a handful of elite prospects followed by many question marks, the forecast for Thursday is anything but predictable, and many trades are expected.

Marvin Williams v. Caron Butler

Marvin Williams is the least essential Hawks starter. He scores points and takes rebounds but seems to leave no imprint on games, and one of the reasons Joe Johnson gets the ball with three seconds on the shot clock a ' or, worse, Josh Smith gets it 25 feet from the hoop a ' is that Marvin, four years a pro, still wona TMt assert himself.
