Hornet's blog looking back on the trade, much more in the link.

I don't want a letter from the ****ing pelicans unless it says "we'll be happy to take them back".

Crawford, obviously a stone cold killer, at the redskins game.

10 weeks now and the Washington Post says Wall not even close to coming back. . .

Price, who will miss four to six weeks, had started 15 games in place of John Wall, who has missed 10 weeks with a stress injury in his left patella. There’s no indication Wall is anywhere near close to coming back, either, considering the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft has not been able to take jump shots.

The Wall injury is a much bigger story than how bad this team currently sucks. We've seen how one knee injury set back this franchise a few years ago and now our young rising superstar can't even jump after three months off. At this point, there is no reason for him to play this season and they might as well just acknowledge that. Better he come back 100% than too soon.

Wall missing more time than our staff estimated was as guaranteed as death & taxes.

RG3 went to a Wizards game. Next game he got hurt. One of the Wizards medical staff members probably made eye contact with Robert's knee. He was doomed.

That thought actually crossed my mind a little after the game Sunday

Has there been an article written that really got into the details of Walls "early stage non-traumatic stress injury"? It seems like injuries in the NBA are often nebulous and can suddenly go from minor to major without incident or apparent cause.

I'll keep watching...I am die hard and all but I have never been so apathetic to one of my teams in my life

I honestly don't care...we can get the no.1 overall pick next year and he'll probably have no impact...

I can't stomach any more years of depending on rookies and young players. I want draft picks to come off the bench unless they prove to be far better than anyone expected. Wall is entering his third year, where all point guards really show improvement, and if he shows that he's a legit star this team needs to build around him and not keep pushing the three year snooze button known as the draft.

Why is Vesely not in the D league? If he's just going rack up DNP's night after night, why not give him some burn somewhere?

My guess would be public relations. 6th overall picks aren't supposed to go to the D-League, if he goes, it will be hard to sell him as anything other than a bust. If he's on the main roster, Ernie & Ted think they can keep the illusion going longer.

The Washington Wizards turned down a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder for James Harden this summer because team owner Ted Leonsis was unwilling to commit to what would have been a roughly $80 million, five-year contract for the high-scoring player, according to multiple people with knowledge of the proposed deal.

The Wizards would have sent rookie guard Bradley Beal and second-year forward Chris Singleton to the Thunder in return for Harden, winner of the NBA’s sixth-man award with Oklahoma City last season, according to these individuals, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the proposal.

If that's true I might lose my mind.

Everyone has heard the Harden rumor. But man, to see it confirmed is devastating.
