That flash we saw from the John Wall and Bradley Beal-led Wizards in the Eastern Conference semifinals is still going strong into both free agency and here in the Samsung NBA Summer League, where youngsters like Glen Rice Jr. and Otto Porter Jr. are busy doing work with their veteran peers keeping a watchful eye. Wall and Beal were in attendance at the Thomas and Mack Center Saturday night when Rice went off for 36 points in a triple-overtime win over the San Antonio Spurs. Veteran free agent Al Harrington is working the sidelines as a volunteer assistant under Wizards assistant Sam Cassell, keeping his finger on the pulse of a team whose culture shift is clearly in full swing after years of building to this point. “We’re trying to get our hands on that trophy,” a smiling Harrington said after the win over the Spurs. “It’s just a good vibe all around since the season ended. All of our guys, the young guys and the older guys, are grinding and trying to get to that next level. Everybody recognizes the opportunity that is staring us in the face and we have to be ready. Everybody has to be ready.” In a summer that began with the Wizards making the first big splash by keeping free-agent center Marcin Gortat on $60 million deal, the hits have kept on coming for this crew. Trevor Ariza and Trevor Booker departed in free agency, but Wizards boss Ernie Grunfeld went to work and rebounded by acquiring former Finals MVP Paul Pierce on a two-yer deal and veteran big men Kris Humprhies andDeJuan Blair in sign-and-trade deals to bolster the bench.

Thekyle1591 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I met Green when I was 8 and I met him again damn near 15 years later. He is who he is. That **** was devastating as an 8 year old though. Is he really? He seems so nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Is he really? He seems so nice. Na, he's a complete tool. He'll never sign autographs or pose for pictures. Loved him as a player but Darrell Green is one of the biggest dbags on the planet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
