Wizards Signed Injury-Ravaged Point Guard To Mentor John Wall Through Injury Rehabilitation
NBA general managers will say a lot of things to hype up or defend or justify a personnel move.

But this might be a new one: Wizards general...

The Wizards, who are currently 14-24, have reached the point in their season when it’s more beneficial for them to start being bad on purpose rather than being bad on accident.
