Mike Bibby is working-out for Memphis, Josh Selby would be the player most-likely to be cut. Selby would be a steal if we could get him, the guy would be or best finisher.

Closg00, I cant believe you don't remember...Ted said FA's don't want to come to DC. That's why we trade for them. Selby's a pipe dream.

I wanted to draft Selby so I would be OK with this.

Honestly, I don't care either way about his preferences. He was great in summer league.

I am searching for a politically correct way to say gays are openly serving in the military and I think it is about time the ones in the NBA come out if it could help their performance on court.

Man, Leonsis material practically writes itself. Something tells me that him becoming an NBA laughing stock in such a short times is just going to make him dig in deeper, in a "the fools, I'll show them all" kind of way.

:( Damn, didn't know about this, what Selby did was really foolish. The Wiz would never touch this guy now :(

I'm pretty sure the rumors have been dispelled,closg. That article is from September 2011 and isn't up to date.

Anyone for Nasty Nate should he be waived? Nate certainly has golatas to match Crawfords... Could be a bad tandem though.

^ Was just about to post something similar, but I'd assume he'd also have options from better teams. It would probably come down to the opportunity to boost his value for next summer with a team like Washington, or the chance to play in the playoffs but with less minutes/shots on a better team.

Anyone for James Anderson for the next call-up? I suppose there's a reason why he can't stick with a team. OTOH, perhaps it was the numbers game that was not kind to him.
