    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Oct. 17 -- For the sake of their fractured -- some would say obliterated -- relationship, Washington Wizards Coach Eddie Jordan and center Brendan Haywood needed to come together. They had to talk.

    When Jordan had exit meetings following the team's first-round elimination by the Cleveland Cavaliers in last season's playoffs, he offered one tip to each of his players. With most, the advice was related to basketball. With Haywood, who was coming off the first season in which his production declined, Jordan simply said, "I just want our relationship to get better."</div>

    I'm glad they put their rift behind them.

    Haywood can be a success in this league on another team, I think the Wizards are two fast paced for him. He needs a team that runs half-court sets more often than fast breaks.
