Washington Wizards Bring a New Co-GM On Board
Today the Washington Wizards decided to hire a secondary general manager. This isn't a surprise to those involved in the organization it was only a matter of finding the right person to hire. Zach Miller used to play in the league for the Dallas Mavericks. After years of sucking and warming the bench he finally decided to retire. After being approached by Wizards GM megster443 about coming back to the league as a general manager Zach decided to give it one more go around. Hopefully Zach will suck a little less as a GM considering how terrible of a player he was.

Wizards Use Free Amnesty Cut
The Washington Wizards used their free amnesty cut this afternoon. An amnesty cut is part of league policy where every time there is a CBA change you can cut one of your players completely free of charge. The Wizards cut shooting guard Mitch Richmond due to his excessively large contract. GM megster443 said "It's a shame to have to see such a good player go, I mean I really liked the guy. But when you have such a crazy huge contract and we are over cap you just have to go. I heard he already signed with another team, that's good he is a good player and a good guy."
