Thank God he has PO so we don't lose him!

Well, of course I wish him good recovery etc. I just want Ernie & Wall gone.

For all of the obvious reasons this was a ridiculous signing from the start, I have to admit, Dwight being a power bottom was not one I anticipated.

How many times has this happened? How many times have we signed a player for substantial money and they immediately get hurt? There's Howard, Martell Webster and Alan Anderson, off the top of my head.

Grunfelded, PO to be excercised, karma for Ernie always trying to bargain shop and cut corners. Although it was a value signing, Ernie does NOT have to give the F’ing PO to EVERY player he signs.

The good news is that Bryant will be receiving PT that he probably never would have gotten.

No surprise after he went to China on a business trip right before the season with a history of back problems. The tank machine continues and sure, the PO will come into play but Dwight will play the last month or so. In that respect, he'll look for a bigger deal next season if he can show he can still put up 16 and 12.

It's kind of funny, I was prepared for this the moment the training camp started and news emerged that Howard wasn't going to be part of it.

It's just such a #soWizards thing to happen, and yet again it's one of Grunfeld's foolish moves that's really **** us.

Gortat for Rivers was terrible move from the get, but I'm sure Ernie somehow talked himself into believing that Mahinmi could be a productive backup center.

Good lord, Ian Mahinmi might be the Bullets worst free agency signing of all time, who's been worse?

Terrified of moving our pick for a mediocre center and a Mahinmi dump. We need to keep that pick.
