It's been a mere week since the NBA season was rescued and already the stresses of tremendously divisive and extremely important NBA questions wrack the board. It may be some time before we can safely say whether or not eating cinnamon is an appropriate off season activity. This is as it should be; indeed threads such as those are the lifeblood of our community. But this is not that thread, there are no weighty issues to ponder here. Here I provide a space devoted to the pure and wholesome pleasure that I derive from knowing that Mustafa Shakur is not a Wizard, that Yi Jianlian is not a Wizard, and that Hilton Armstrong is not a Wizard.

Before I open up the thread so that you might share your own experiences related to not Hilton Armstrong I'd like to take care of some bookkeeping very quickly; please bear with me. I'd first like to respectfully offer a derisive laugh to any and all who expressed any optimism whatsoever in the Yi Trade Thread. I would also like to take a moment to praise the courage of the three aforementioned Wizards with regard to their conduct last season. It is not the act of a coward to repeatedly and brazenly make public appearances before crowds of thousands who generally hate you. And I would finally like to honor their memory officially by formally retiring Yi's twenty one foot jump shot and prohibit its use by any future Wizards players.

Now I invite you all to describe your own Mustafa, Hilton and Yi-free experience.

LOL @ this thread.

Neck and Shakur are both stuck in China because they signed contracts with the CBA during the lockout.

And Yi injured his right knee playing in China. While his team Guangdong says it's still unsure about the Yi's injury, he's expected to miss 2-4 weeks which screws his changes to get a new contract before the season starts.

Odd that Yi is the one that ISN'T officially stuck in China . . . .

When I saw the thread title I interpreted it as a pre-celebratory homage to the name of the Wizards being changed back to their rightful name, the Bullets.

We're practically the Nuggets. But we're happy that way.

+1 That's what I thought as-well.
