Is it just me, or are a lot of players going unnoticed? I am open to suggestions on this subject, but I'd like to do a article on "Who should be pursued by the Wolves"? I always contemplate the Wolves becoming the Atlanta Hawks of two seasons ago by making a midseason trade that's going to improve the Wolves enough to get the eighth seed.

It's no secret that there's something wrong with Caron Butler's game. In three games thus far this season , Butler is averaging just 14 points a contest and is posting a dreadful 47.3% true shooting percentage.

The Boston Celtics have decided not to suspend forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis after an off-court fight sidelined him for at least five weeks.

Gilbert Arenas dazzled in his team's season-opening 102-91 win over the Mavericks in Dallas.

The Washington Wizards picked apart the visiting New Jersey Nets last night in a blow-out 123-104 home opener victory.

Coming into the 2009-2010 season, it was said that the success of the Washington Wizards would be dependent on depth and the health of their key players.

ATLANTA a ' Josh Smith scored 20 points and reached a blocked shots milestone, and the Atlanta Hawks held off Gilbert Arenas and the Washington Wizards 100-89 on Friday night.

Washington Wizards players heard before the season about the reputation of their new coach for using a streamlined rotation.

There will come a time where the bright smile must be replaced with a scowl, when the carefree, Californian perspective will submit to championship coldness, and the reality of being a professional will truly set in.

Lost in the euphoria of the Wizards' surprising 102-91 road win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday was that Flip Saunders appears to have settled on a rotation -- and that doesn't bode well for youngsters and summer league superstars Nick Young and JaVale McGee.

Wizards at Mavericks Line: Mavericks by 8. With Antawn Jamison out the first couple of weeks, Flip Saunders decided to go with Mike Miller as his starting shooting guard.

Outlook: The Wizards' $111 million franchise player appears to be healthy for the first time since April 2007.

'It's almost like I planned it, huh,' said Jamison, showing a sense of humor only two hours after suffering an injury that left his arm numb and caused a momentary loss of sensation in his fingers.

An MRI exam on Thursday revealed that Jamison has a subluxation of his right shoulder -- which implies a partial dislocation -- and it will sideline him for at least the rest of the preseason. In a statement from the team, Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld announced that Jamison would be reevaluated next week after the swelling subsides.
