Washington Wizards Free Agency: Wizards sign Dwight Howard, Excellent Pickup
Rotations, Rotations, Rotations
I’m not in the Wizards front office, obviously. But for those who voiced concerns about chemistry, the Wizards have leaders for that.
The Wizards rotations has endless possibilities. No more can other teams come onto the court, and know the rotation that the Wizards will run through all four quarters.
Picture both Markieff Morris and Howard guarding the inside. Pick your poison, Celtics. Yes, I said, the Celtics.
Because the bitter taste of Game 7 left their mouth last season. Hopefully, the Wizards have reacquired that taste.
Maybe they do have certain attitudes. But so do some of your favorite players. No need to sell Howard.
His job is to help the Wizards get to the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Finals. No predictions here. It’s going to be one game at a time.
If the Wizards can manage the minutes and egos, then this team is better than the 2016-17 squad. The team that was just one game away from the ECF.
Yes, other teams got better. But so has Washington.
The more chips, the better chance of a chip
John Wall, the fearless leader, who plays with chips on both his shoulders.
Bradley Beal, the quiet leader, but believes he’s the best player on the court sometimes. He has every right to believe that, because it shows when he has good nights.
Otto Porter who lit up Golden State last season. Markieff Morris who will light up anybody.
Austin Rivers, who is starting fresh to show the league, that he is more than his father’s son. Another one with a chip on his shoulder.
Jeff Green, whom the Wizards also acquired. Welcome home, you have some unfinished business.
What about Toronto, Sixers, and the Bucks? What about them? Just kidding.
The Wizards have toughness, they’re physical, and they just have to condition themselves, so they have energy to close out the fourth. Also, that’s where managing minutes come into play.
Howard rebounding to kick it out to the shooters for second-chances. That’s the name of the game.
So, it doesn’t matter how many teams, Howard has been on before. Some of the most successful people whoever walked this earth, failed many times before you ever read or heard about them.
It’s a new season. New attitude to take the Wizards to a higher altitude. Maybe this isn’t the move some of the fans wanted. But I’ve been waiting. Let’s do this.
