    the wizards are the lamest franchise probably in all of sports we got arenas taking ? in teammates shoes and the GM just letting that ? slide. Then they bringing guns. and we wonder why Nick Young, blatche, and Javale MCGee never got any direction and partied more than they played.

    but you have to give it to the franchise for trying to clean up the mess they created. by trading away basically everyone from the "Big 3" era, even the bench as they became the starters by default, they are admitting they ? up somewhere down the line. Yes, they let Gil and other "superstar" players get away with ? , but the yungin's on the bench had no one to look up to, but seeing that ? go on, they had no direction. So when everyone above them got traded, they were the lead, and didn't know what to do when the spotlight was on them.

    We had Nick out there doing 360 lay ups, never passing the ball, shooting while under all sorts of pressure. JaVale out there swatting shots into the 5th row and running back on D when they still had the ball, throwing lobs to himself while down in games. Andray getting shot ? around with the wrong folks in town, poor work ethic, bad attitude. There was no veteran on the team to sit them ? down to cool the young mentality they had.

    Now no one wants Blatche because of everything I named about him, and we're going to be forced to use the Amnesty Clause on him during the offseason. We're going to get it right, just to try to keep John Wall, but it's going to have to be through the draft and trades. No smart free agent with any sort of superstar/all star potential is going to want to come here because of the history.

    When we get good players, we ? it up through injury or trading them away. So we got to go with the blue collar worker like Booker, Singleton, NeNe, Crawford, Wall, in order to survive. Superstars don't work out in Washington, history says so.
