Lessons from half a year of covering Antawn Jamison
When it comes to Antawn Jamison, we hear reporters toss around terms like "true professional," "leader" and "stand-up guy." A part of me was bugged by this for two reasons. One was that there's too often a conflation of being a good guy to the media and being a good leader. There's often a...
Assessing where the Wizards stand after a wild trade deadline
At the end of the day, the Wizards did what they had to do. This team badly needed to be blown up. It probably ran it's course by the time last year rolled around, but with Abe Pollin desperately seeking a winner before he passed on, we tried to ride this thing out one more year and make...

Why the Wizards can afford to wait on trading Caron Butler
There are several reasons for wanting to move Caron Butler ASAP, even before Antawn Jamison. Unlike Jamison, Butler has been a really poor fit for Flip Saunders' offense and hasn't really tried hard enough to fit in. Unlike Jamison, Butler is often playing like he wants to be elsewhere. Unlike...
Simple poll: Who needs to get moved first
I've already talked about Antawn Jamison, and I'll have more on Caron Butler soon (hopefully by later today), but to pass the time between the two, a simple poll.
Six reasons Antawn Jamison absolutely needs to be traded before the deadline
I harbor absolutely no ill will toward Antawn Jamison. In point of fact, one thing that's become a bit more clear from covering the team more in-person is the intangible benefit his presence provides. He plays through pain, rarely complains about it, talks to the media about all the off-court...
