Last week, we posted the info regarding an anonymous NBA GM stating that tanking was the strategy of his team. While we’ll never know who that GM is, we can certainly guess. Phoenix has been rumored to potentially be that team. We don’t know for sure, but Luis Scola and Marcin Gortat deals leaves many [...]

Early season overreactions are commonplace. It’s easy to get too high or too low after just a few games into the season. Wizards coach Randy Wittman can attest to this.
