Otto Porter

Otto Porter has not always looked like himself during the Washington Wizards’ first-round playoff series with the Toronto Raptors.

John Wall is not walking back his recruitment of Paul George. He wants to make it clear, however, that he loves Otto Porter. As the All-Star point guard told CSN Mid-Atlantic’s J.

The NBA’s extension deadline for fourth-year players came and passed on Halloween, ending without a new deal for many—including Otto Porter. But that doesn’t mean the Washington Wizards don’t want to keep him. They’ve made it clear that they do. As general manager Ernie Grunfeld said, per CSN Mid-Atlantic’s J.

Imagine winning a playoff series for the first time since 2005, that to against the higher seeded Chicago, as well as winning a second-round playoff game for the first time since 1982 in the space of a month. You would think that all signs would be pointing upwards, but instead the Washington Wizards were continuously [...]

Three years later, John Wall is ecstatic to be a member of the Washington Wizards. Actually, he’s always been elated at the prospect of playing for the Wizards and city of Washington, hence the five-year, $80-million extension he inked over the summer.
