I put words on paper on how the Wizards, like George Costanza from 'Seinfeld' broke their sense of agony by finally figuring out how to do "The Opposite."

For us sports fans of a certain age, the sports section of the newspaper taught us how to read. I didn’t grow up with the Washington Post sports section, but I did grow up because of it. Today’s a sad day for my friends and for all of us.
My immediate thoughts are the Wizards took advantage of a desperate Dallas team trying to shed money for the future. Middleton has very little basketball value and the 2 firsts aren’t even the Wizards own picks. Just another masterclass in asset management.
Had the opportunity to talk to Wizards blogger legend, turned Athletic NBA editor, @MikePradaNBA about the Wizards upcoming season and how basketball media has changed over the years. Tap in!

Denver is moving in the right direction for sure. I know Chris Paul says he wants to play near LA for his family, but if he joins the Nuggets I would actually love their team.
The Wizards front office was faced with a bit of a “test” with the Porzingis trade last night, so I tried to make sense of what happened from the Wizards perspective: https://t.co/CI6PzpjRmu
To all the Twitter NBA Experts, what were the Wizards supposed to get for Porzingis?
1. He had the option of becoming a FA giving him leverage
2. They got him for nothing and turned that into a 1st rd pick
3. They save $10m in salary for next season giving more flexibility
The Wizards made a splash at the trade deadline, but with the way Spencer Dinwiddie is playing in Dallas it leaves questions about why he didn’t fit in DC. I tried to make sense of it all here:

The Wizards improved long term by adding the talented @kporzee and in the short term through addition by subtraction. My latest column in @wcp explores the team's new unified front and examines their "leadership" or lack thereof:

Beal wants the Wizards to prove to him that they can win, but when does he have to prove that he's a winner?

Deni Avidja has a defensive rating of 93.6, which is good for sixth best in the entire league. I wrote about how the second year Wizard is staying inquisitive and using his film study to morph into one of the NBA's elite defenders:

As good as the Wizards have played this season, they are going to eventually have to start hitting their threes if they want to sustain this hot start. They're shooting 33.5% from beyond the arc on the year which is 19th in the league. 2-12 from deep tonight.
Shoutout to Bradley Beal for reading the room on a night where he didn’t have it, but playmaking yo get Kuzma great looks to close it out. That’s trust and leadership from Brad. This type of growth is just as, if not more important than always trying to save the day.
The Wizards are exceeding expectations on the court and a lot of that has to do with the significant upgrade at coach, which I wrote about here. Also included in here is an update on Rui from Tommy Sheppard https://t.co/caFr6mb9dD
