All Smiles: NBAPA and Owners agree on a CBA

Finally. Oh finally we get our NBA back. No more black armed rookies in 2k12, or Hardwood Classics on NBA TV. We have our NBA back.

The NBAPA and Owners reached an agreement for 10 years, with an option for early termination on the 9th year.

"We are happy to get this agreement done." said David Stern at the press conference.

"Both sides got a great deal." said Billy Hunter.

The NBA also announced the procedure for the season. There will be a 82 game season, with playoffs and a trade deadline.The Playoffs will be the normal, 7-7-7-7.
"We are ready for a season," said LeBron James. "We've been waiting since July."

"I'm ready," said Kevin Durant.

"Basketball never stops. And it never will."

Good luck with this. The Wizards are an interesting team; you have the potential to form a beast big-man-little-man combination with McGee and Wall. Nick Young could also be your J.R. Smith

Use clipperfan's, I like those a lot if you wanna go with 2K12. The Wizards is an unexpecting choice, hope to see Javale McGee beastin' the boards.

Black armed rookies in 2K12 and 2K11. My Ricky Rubio has the exact same problem.

I love Nick Young, he has great range. And I see a little Stockton-Malone in Wall and McGee.

The Wiz Kids are a young team, full of potential. And McGee will kill, no doubt

Sucks, at least PC they can fix it. 360 they can't.

One Week Before Lockout Ends

"Ernie, my man, what's up?" said Ted Leonsis, owner of the Wizards. He was searching through his emails, talking to his GM, and looking at the latest lockout news.

"Hey Ted. Thanks for keeping me with the Wizards when you took over, but I am joining the Toronto Raptors as a general manager." said Grunfeld, who had been a dark horse for the job.

"Why man? Don't you want to see this team gell?"
"I'm sorry, but money talks."replied Grunfeld. He then hung up.

"Damn it. Gotta find a GM.... whoa who's this?" eyed Leonsis, staring at an email from the owner of the Mersey Tigers.

Hello Mr. Leonsis,
I have recently seen a vacant spot for a General Manager spot on your team, and my GM, Willie Lewis, is perfect for you.

You see, Mr. Lewis is a talented young man with a knack for acquiring talent. He built up our Mersey Tigers into contenders and led us to our first BBL championship.

You also might wonder why I am sending this. He deserves better than the BBL, way better.

-Mersey Tigers

"Wow, talk about an owner who really cares," mumbled Leonsis.

"Sherry! Call this 'Willie Lewis'. Get his ass over here on the first plane trip to Washington from England."


***********************************************
In England
"Hello? Wizards?" said Willie Lewis.

"Me? Washington? Alright. What? In an hour?" said Lewis, throwing his clothes in a bag.

"Alright... be there." Willie left and began his journey to GM of the Wizards.

**********************************************

"Mr. Lewis, want this job? Now listen," said Leonsis.

"You will be on a tight leash. No stupid big trades. We're building a team here. I get last word on every trade. Alright?"

"Yes sir," responded Lewis, who had strict rules at Mersey.

"This team will be a contender in one year."

"How do you know?" asked Leonsis, surprised by his confidence.

"If we aren't, just say that my job is a failure." said Lewis, confident.

"Damn, I like you kid. Welcome to the Washington Wizards." said Leonsis, reaching out his hand.

"Thanks sir, contenders all the way." said Lewis, shaking it.

As Lewis left, Leonsis was left to wonder. Can this kid really bring his Wizards a playoff berth as a young team?

Would expect McGee to be a monster. Can you really travel from England to Washington in one hour?

Would expect McGee to be a monster. Can you really travel from England to Washington in one hour?

I wish, took me 7 hours to get to NY.

Goodluck with this one!

McGee will be a monster and no, the plane was supposed to leave in an hour

I wish, took me 7 hours to get to NY.

Goodluck with this one!

Thanks man, same with yours.

Since you said it can be fixed with 2K11 for PC, how can I?

Now back on topic, I'm following this, I can't wait to see where the Wizards end up!

Wizards announce new General Manager

The Washington Wizards have announced Willie Lewis as the new General Manager of the team after Ernie Grunfeld left for the Toronto Raptors.

"We are very excited to welcome Willie to the Wizards," said Ted Leonsis. "He blends in with the young energy that this team has. Wall, McGee, Vesely, and more to come."

"Well, coming from Britain back to the States feels great," smiled Lewis. "It's great to be GMing a great team, full of potential."

Lewis came from Britain, where he was Coach/GM for the Mersey Tigers, a team in the British Basketball League. He was with the team since they were formed in 2007 as the Everton Tigers, and led the team to its first title this past year. Lewis now takes over a young Wizards team, with star player John Wall.

"We're going to build around [Wall]. That's the whole point. I see a nice little combination between him and McGee, and Vesely is going to be a great presence. Nick Young has a great potential to be something amazing, and [Jordan] Crawford looks to me as a Jason Terry type player, a Sixth Man."

When asked how the lockout affected his plans, Lewis responded with confidence.

"This is a two year plan. By next year, we will be contenders. Hell, anything can happen in 29 games, we could win it all. But then we'd be stuck with an asterisk next to our championship."

"Overall, this team can be contenders, we just need one last piece. Whatever that piece is, it will come to us and the city, and lead us to a championship."

Key Game Preview

0-0 0-0
Verizon Center|7:00 PM| November 2nd, 2011

What to Watch For:
John Wall- John Wall is entering his second year in the NBA, and is ready to lead this Wizard team to victory. His speed and his new scoring mentality is something to watch for
Deron Williams- After playing a few games with Besiktas, can Williams use somethings he learned in Turkey with New Jersey?
Rookies- With barely any training camp, can the rooks show that they can play without a camp?

Prediction:
Wizards pull out a hard fought win, 98-90.
