I'm really looking forward to seeing Caron in Washington. I enjoyed him in L.A. (as most of you know, the Lakers are my first favorite team), and seeing him in Washington (my 2nd favorite team) is pretty exciting.
Good stuff. Caron is a nice player, and I'm excited to see how he blends in with the team, and with Arenas.
Good for Caron. Liked him with the Heat and thought he was gonna be great there. Glad he's got some stability.
Nice move by the Wiz...they're gonna have a solid core with Arenas, Butler, and Jamison, surrounded by capable role players like Antonio Daniels, Jarvis Hayes, Jeffries, and Haywood...
