Ahead of the Wizards’ first practice after the all-star break — who even knows if the four players they added from Dallas will be there or whether the rest of their own roster will be either — I’m still trying to digest last weekend’s trade, both the anger that some have and the understanding of why it happened.
Clearly, it’s not for everybody, including The Examiner’s own Rick Snider, who is officially done with the Wizards for this season. The thing is, I’ve been to all the home games this year, and the Verizon Center fans have had to endure a stomach punch or simply being raked across the coals nearly every night. How’s that any different with Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood and DeShawn Stevenson gone? Were fans simply expected to endure that kind of treatment for the next two months?
