No Your Links: 12/29/07

You got a little sampling in the game thread, now here's your complete and official No Your Links.

The Antawn Jamison photo project is coming along nicely. Even though there's only 2 members (really guys, they won't bite you) there's still 53 photos in the pool as of right now. If you want to check out the progress, you can see a slideshow (sans the music and cool effects that will be in the finished product) of the photos here. Of the photos added, I have to say that this one is my favorite so far:

If Antawn Jamison ever ends up on To Catch A Predator, this will be the photo you see.

Throughout the week, NBA.com has been doing Top 10 lists compiling the best highlights of the calendar year. Wizards of past and present were involved in the 4 best bloopers of the year. Insert your "The Wizards are a joke of a franchise" bits here.
Just in case you forgot, Antonio Daniels is indeed one of the good guys in sports.
Eddie Jordan's 200th win over the Bobcats on Wednesday puts him within 1132 of Lenny Wilkens. Keep pushing Eddie!
What's the difference between a team that's .500 and a team that's 5 games under .500? About 3,300 fans.
How would you feel about the Wizards chances against the former Wizards All-Star Team? Would you feel better about their chances if you knew that Rip Hamilton's car had been taped up by a former Bullet?
DC Pro Sports Report has gives well deserved props to Roger Mason for his play as of late.

former wizards

Looking at the list of former Wizards, I don't feel too bad. You've got 2 of the worst 5 contracts in the league on the list (Ben Wallace and Larry Hughes), the biggest #1 draft bust ever, and a couple of past their prime former stars (Stackhouse, Webber, and Howard). Steve Blake left because he knew that he'd never get good minutes as Gilbert's backup, so not much we could have done there.
We have missed Dixon's scoring off of the bench for the past 2 years and only now are we coming close to replacing that firepower. Trading Hamilton was a mistake but at least we eventually got Jamison for Stackhouse and a first round pick. I've never felt bad about trading Rasheed Wallace for Strickland. At the time we already 2 good power forwards and needed a point guard to take us to the next level. Strickland gave us 3 good years. Also remember that Portland ended up dumping 'sheed in a midseason trade when they grew tired of his act. Only then did he become a "championship" caliber player. So all in all, I don't think the Wizards have been that awful with their moves over the last 10 years and have done pretty well recovering from their mistakes (getting Jamison and Butler).
