Run DC - 2k10 Wizards [3-3] David Stern kidnapped

[Awesom3]

Plagued by injury and scandal and with no real aspiring young talent, the Wizards have become a joke of the team. Wizards management are desperately looking for a new General Manager to try and shake things up in the nation's capital.

For the visual dynasty people, this dynasty will be more of a story type of dynasty. Game recaps get boring to write after a while and sometimes I may just post weekly recaps until I get to the playoffs (or not playoffs). I like how the Wizards have a lot of drama so this should be fun.

Ernie Grunfeld to quit job, Wizards looking to add new General Manager

Ernie Grunfeld has stated that he has had "enough" with the recent drama with the Gilbert Arenas gun scandal. According to inside sources, Grunfeld sent new Wizards owner Raul Fernandez an email yesterday stating that he will quit his job as the President of Basketball Operations. Grunfeld has said he will stay until the Wizards find a new General Manager and has offered to help out with the trying to trade Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton but has stated he will quit whenever he can without hurting the team.

Fernandez has stated he has had a couple in mind and also had some people calling him with interest of taking over Grunfeld's job. Wizards.com takes a look at what inside sources believe the top 3 prospects are.

Prospective General Managers

Wes Unseld

Possibly the greatest person Wizard of all time, Wes Unseld had an unsuccessful tenure as the Wizards GM but could become a fan option if he were to take the GM job again.

Isiah Thomas

This man needs no explanation. While many blame him for the Knicks woes, Thomas has been known to be a great evaluator of talent and has drafted players like Trevor Ariza, David Lee and Nate Robinson.

Billy King

The 76ers GM before he was fired, Billy King was part of the Sixers staff during Iverson's prime years and knows a thing or two about basketball. Last season he helped the Sixers return to the playoffs with young studs such as Andre Iguodala, Thaddeus Young and Louis Williams.

Good luck man, but you just can't sign Isiah

[Lamrock]

Good luck. We haven't had a lasting Wizards dynasty here since 2007, and I hate using them in this game. Sign Isiah.

Surprise! Wizards hire 'President' of Basketball Operations



In a move that shocked not only the NBA world, the Wizards hired Barack Obama as their new General Manager and as the 'President' of Basketball Operations.

This move made Obama the first U.S. president ever to be a general manager of an NBA team.

"I was shocked really," Wizards owner Raul Fernandez said. "He was at the Wizards home opener and we talked for a bit. We joked about him being the new General Manager and just later that night I got a phone call from the Whitehouse."

The whole Wizards locker room were surprised when they heard the announcement.

"Any time you're kinda close to the President, it's an honor," co-captain Caron Butler said. "Now he's going to be watching us and keeping tracking of us and managing us... It's special."

Obama is expected to do his jobs as a General Manager from the Whitehouse and one of his priorities is to trade Gilbert Arenas.

[Oznogrd]

This may be one of the funniest dynasty ideas i've ever seen. For the Obama choice as GM...
But anyway: good luck dude...

[Lamrock]

LOL, didn't see that coming. Nice, albeit nonsensical twist.

[Awesom3]

Hahaha glad you like the twist. I'm trying to make it interesting to read and hiring Obama was a pretty fun and stupid idea. Anyway here is the first of many big trades.

Wizards trade Gilbert Arenas to Raptors for Bosh

As soon as Barack Obama was announced as the new Wizards GM, the Whitehouse hotline didn't stop ringing as all the new GMs took the opportunity to not only offer a trade for Gilbert Arenas but also speak to the President. And to everyone's surprise the President's first move came against the only NBA team in Canada... The Toronto Raptors.

Impressed by Bargnani's 23 PPG and 12 RPG early on in the season and with the fear of Bosh leaving Toronto, the Raptors pulled the trigger and traded Chris Bosh for Gilbert Arenas. The Wizards also included Center Breandan Haywood and their 2011 first round pick. The Raptors packaged rookie DeMar DeRozan and their 2010 first round pick.

"Chris Bosh is a very talented player and if he played winging basketball there wouldn't be any doubt that he is a top 10 player," President Obama commented. Obama said that this will be first of many trades and fans shouldn't be surprised if Jamison was traded next.

Wizards fans have already started to dub the Obama's Plan as the 'John Wall Treaty'. When asked about his future plans, Obama says he plans to acquire a wing player that is capable of running the point so that when John Wall comes the Wizards can simply shift that player to the 2 or 3 spot and have more players that are comfortable with playing each other.

[Lamrock]

Take DeRozan and the first round pick out of the trade and its only somewhat unfair.

[Awesom3]

More deals in the works

It seems like the Grizzlies are the team that gets pushed around the most in the NBA. In a surprising move, the Memphis Grizzlies traded their Number 2 Draft pick Hasheem Thabeet to the Wizards for guard DeShawn Stevenson in addition to the Grizzlies adding their 2nd round draft pick for 2010. Analysts have said that this was more of a political move than a basketball move by Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace who has been reported to be an Obama hater. But then again, Chris Wallace has never been the brightest GM and traded Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown.

Later today President Obama traded Andray Blatche to the Thunder along with their newly acquired Grizzlies pick for Thunder shooting guard Thabo Sefolosha. Sefolosha is known for his defense and with this trade the Wizards have 3 athletic wings in Nick Young, DeMar DeRozan and Thabo Sefolosha. President Obama is expected to one of them and is interested in Terrence Williams of the New Jersey Nets as their temporary Point Guard solution.

In the 3rd trade in the same day, President Obama traded Nick Young, Fabricio Oberto for Terrence Williams. They also traded their 2010 first round picks and Terrence Williams is believe to be starting at Point Guard for the Wizards.

[dare]

Lol at Obama being the GM, nice twist here. goodluck with this.

[kibaxx7]

Obama as a general manager, who would say that Bosh and Jamison is a monster frontcourt; add Butler there, shazam.

[Martti.]

Terrence Williams starting PG? Let's see how that works out..

Week 2 Recap

Game 4 - Wizard unable to keep up good defense, Cavaliers win 108-99

With a starting line up boasting Terrence Williams, Thabo Sefolosha and Caron Butler, it was a nightmare for any perimeter player, even LeBron James. The Wizards perimeter defense held James to just 4 points at halftime but LeBron showed everyone why he was the best player in the league as he scored 21 points in the second half and led the Cavaliers to a victory. Newly acquired center Hasheem Thabeet was not at the game as he could not book a plane in time for Cleveland and joined the Wizards in their next game. In Chris Bosh's WIzard debut, he scored 20 points, grabbed 9 rebounds and recorded a career high 8 steals. Mike Miller came off the bench and scored 18 points. Terrence Williams who started at point guard totaled 8 points and 13 assists.

"It takes getting used to," said Head Coach Flip Saunders. "Defensively I don't think it's too much of a problem. I think Terrence did a great job tonight on Mo Williams and he wasn't as big as a liability on offense as I thought he would be."

And Terrence did a fine job. Mo Williams had 14 points on 5-14 shooting and added 4 turnovers, 3 of them forced by Terrence Williams.

Wizards Player of the Game - Chris Bosh - 20 points, 9 rebounds, 8 steals

Game 5 - Wizards blow out Heat at home, 112-88

After having to match up with LeBron James, the WIzards got no break as they hosted the Miami Heat. Thabo Sefolosha and Terrence Williams both took turns in defending Dwyane Wade and Wade finished with 21 points on 10-23 shooting and did not attempt a single free throw.

"They did an excellent job. They didn't let me get into the paint and I think most of the shots that I made were either fast breaks or just really lucky shots," said Wade after the loss. Wade was 1 assist shy of a triple double.

Hasheem Thabeet started his first game for the Wizards and was impressive in his debut. He towered over Joel Anthony and scored 18 points, grabbed 6 rebounds had 3 assists and 2 steals, and although it didn't show on the stat sheet, Thabeet was a dominant defensive presence and was the biggest reason why Wade didn't get any free throw attempts.

Wizards Player of the Game - Hasheem Thabeet - 18 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists

Game 6 - Pacers @ Wizards

Strong 4th quarter propels Wizards to win, 93-85

In a game tied going into the 4th, the Wizards used a 8-0 run with 6 points from Rookie DeMar DeRozan and a jumpshot from Caron Butler to give the Wizards their biggest lead of the night. The rest of the 4th quarter was a shootout between Danny Granger and Caron Butler with the 2 players exchanging buckets over a 2 minute stretch but the Pacers could never get a stop that they needed as they lost to the Wizards on the road.

Wizards Player of the Game - Caron Butler - 31 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals

David Stern kidnapped, Donaghy escaped from jail

The drama in the NBA just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Days after Arenas got suspended from the NBA and the President of the United States got hired as a GM, NBA Commissioner David Stern was reported to be kidnapped and league officials have learnt that Tim Donaghy has broken out of jail.

According to the facility Donaghy was held in, there was a powercut in the building at 5AM in the morning. They called electricity company responsible who went to the power room to fix the electricity. This power room was directly underneath Donaghy's cell and within half an hour, a hole was found in the floor of Donaghy's cell and they security guards located their abandoned van in a mile of their facility.

Fast forward 12 hours and NBA Commissioner David Stern is headed towards the league head office at New York where he 'lost contact' with the officials. NBA Executive Vice President Stu Jackson will act as Commissioner until David Stern comes back.

The FBI has found no evidence that the 2 cases are related but they strongly believe that there is a connection between them.

[Awesom3]

And yea this Franchise isn't meant to be realistic at all but I didn't want to make another Franchise that was as generic as all the other ones.
