Season 2009-2010 has hit Washington Wizards with one blow after another so franchise representative Irene Pollin must have heard angels singing when No. 1 draft choice is drawn out for Wizards.
Losing is not something new for any team but Wizards left last season in 26-56 with some spiky highlights.
Their key player Gilbert Arenas is placed under suspension for breaking NBA’s zero tolerance policy on firearms. That’s for using his locker in the Verizon Center as the safe for his guns.
Abe Pollin, head owner of Wizards who also made the move to drop the controversial name Washington Bullets, passed away in November 2009. It certainly is a tough moment of letting go but it seems not to be the end of the rough season as they needed to also trade Jamison and Butler for trimming down salary expenses.
Pollin family’s legacy with Washington Wizards will be handed over to new owner Ted Leonsis and the deal will probably get the seal by June. With the upper hand in enjoining either John Wall or Evan Turner, lottery may not be the only thing where this team can win. But then luck is not a reliable force that 2011 NBA championship would need.
