The Washington Wizards no longer have Russell Westbrook. But on the flip side, they finally have quality depth surrounding superstar Bradley Beal.

Most Wizards fans still vividly recall the moment they heard about the Russell Westbrook trade.

Russell Westbrook is now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Let that sink in.  If you told this to Lakers fans years ago, they would think that you’re crazy. Westbrook has spent all these years killing the Lakers with whatever team he was playing for. He’s almost at the end of his prime and […]

Similarly, Trae Young, who wasn’t even […]

The Washington Wizards’ busy offseason has made new head coach Wes Unseld Jr.’s rotation 12 men deep.
