So, yeah, there's this LeBron James TV thing on tonight at 9 p.m. To follow all the developments of that story, click here. But first, some Wizards links to tide you over.
- Scroll down for updates on Josh Howard and Mike Miller. The latest with Miller? He apparently is considering Miami's offer (which isn't technically possible, but I digress) and what South Florida Sun-Sentinel writer Ira Winderman is saying is a bigger offer from the Clippers? The Clippers? Mike, if you sign there, how can you justify all your "all I want is to win" comments?
- Speaking of Miller rumors, according to HoopsWorld's Eric Pincus, Miller could get as much as five years and $50 million from the Knicks. (deep breath) HAHAHAHAHAHAH (deep breath) HAHAHAHAHAHA.
- Today's must-read of the day: Dan Steinberg's take on LeBron James and why Wizards fans were right about him.
- Kyle Weidie over at Truth About It argues that the salary-cap implications of the Kirk Hinrich deal really aren't that bad. I have a response for this planned (main argument: not that bad still means not that good), but feel free to check his take out.
- Kirk Hinrich does a quick interview where he talks about being traded to the Wizards. I guess this means the trade is done.
- JaVale McGee is doing a Summer League video log. His first video? Not the most exciting thing in the world, but whatever.
- John Wall on LeBron James' TV show, via Wizards Insider: "That's crazy, having a whole hour [special] to just pick where he's going to go, but hey, he's LeBron James. He can do certain things like that. To market him as the NBA's top player means a lot. Basically he's going to make a decision, and everybody can't wait to see it ... All SportsCenter has been about is LeBron and baseball That's all you're going to see. Hopefully it will end [on Thursday]." I share his desire of this all ending, and I hope he never acts like LBJ. Also, here's video of the event from Comcast Sports Net.
- This is pretty barftastic: if this lawsuit is true, LeBron was actually conceived in DC.
- Congrats to Brendan Haywood for finally getting paid. Six years and $55 million sounds like a lot, but I think it's pretty fair value for a starting center.
- Not Wizards, but Evan Turner hasn't looked very good in Orlando Summer League.
- Also not Wizards, but this made me laugh. A lot.
- Finally, here are some photos of Wall, Trevor Booker and Hamady Ndiaye from yesterday. This one is my favorite. Love the Bunny Ears, Great Wall.
