The 2026-27 Washington Wizards Super Preview: The Rebuild Has Reached the Interesting Part (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alright. We’re doing this again. This makes year three of writing a preview of my beloved Washington Wizards and somehow, I have found a way to make this longer. I like to think that it is because this now is slightly sourced1 or maybe because this is arguably the best iteration of the Washington Wizards since the House of Guards era. But, if we’re being honest, I just have a lot to say and no editor to keep me in check.There is a lot here, t
Kyshawn George Doesn’t Need to Be That Guy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In another unsponsored airport lounge location, a quick recognition of Washington Bullets’ hat sparked interest from a nondescript individual1 to strike up a conversation. For the most part, whenever a conversation of this manner takes place, I expect the brief and polite exchanges of interest in a team followed by high-level expectations.

What If Kel’el Ware Was Right? (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Rui Hachimura Needs to Prove Washington Wrong — Differently (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just days after the announcement of Kawhi Leonard’s (potential) return to the Toronto Raptors, the Los Angeles Clippers began their construction of a reload. The team would not-so-quietly take a swing on Rui Hachimura, a two-year, $28 million contract with a team option on the second year, a contract befitting of a young player1 who continues to be at war with ‘potential’ and ‘performance’ on the NBA floor.It is a conversation that started in the nation’s capital — a situation that has been grea
So, Can We Say the Pelicans Won That Trade Now? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The phrase goes that “two wrongs don’t make a right but three lefts do.” And if there is any team in the NBA that has felt the need to change directions in the most unusual of ways possible, it feels like it has been the New Orleans Pelicans.A team that became a comedic side plot to the NBA over the past couple of seasons has quietly taken it on the chin. Finishing last season 11th in the western conference with a 26-56 record, the team accepted its defeat towards the end of March while still qu
