Stevenson Wins Contest Over Gooden
Last month, after a year of not shaving, DeShawn Stevenson received the good news that Drew Gooden had finally decided to shave off his beard giving Stevenson the victory in the beard growing contest. We finally got a chance to see Stevenson earlier today and not only is he clean shaven but he also has a new hair cut as well.

UPDATE: We also were able to grab some behind-the-scenes photos of a commercial that Adidas was shooting with Gilbert, click here to check those out.

hey do you guys think that this would be a good trade for the wizards?

I love Millsap, and Korver would solve the “shooting off the bench” problem, I guess.
Of course, I don’t mind giving up Songaila (Millsap more than replaces him), and replacing Nick w/ Korver gives us much more solidity/experience off the bench
Why do we need to throw in McGuire, however? The salaries match up w/o doing that.
But… *why* would Utah make this trade? Villanueva is an underachiever — that’s not the Utah style — and Alexander is an unproven rookie. I can’t imagine them having any interest in this trade.

Finley is re-signing w/ the Spurs, according to reports published this afternoon.
Maybe we aren’t going to look for another piece to the puzzle.

i did that because i wanted to give Milwaukee a good part of the deal…………i had asked some other people on another website and people had said that it was a bad deal for Milwaukee……… i hope that the wizards can find something that’s right for the team…………

adding mo williams is a plus, damon jones had 3 point shooting so does williams, only difference is mo can take u off the dribble and dish the ball. but the cavs had point gaurds boobie, delonte, and damon what they did not have was a 2 guard other than pavlovich. they had wally playing the 2 when pavlovich was out but wally is not merely atheletic enough to play that position he is strictly a catch and shoot. but the cavs will be in the thick of things as long as they have lebron. the 4 spot is not exactly a threat (scoring wise) either with ben wallace and hickson.

I’m old fashioned. I like the new look better.
I don’t think EG has anything up his sleeve. But if some other GM wants to do something stoopid, I’m sure he’ll go for it.
If we could get equal value by giving up a player where we’re over-staffed (PF) and getting one where we’re thin (SG), that would be a good thing.

If we aren’t going to add another player to the team I’m still curious as to why Ernie asked Gil to take 16mil less. I’m sure it wasn’t to add Dee Brown? Maybe they are planning a “really big” team picnic or something?

If we don’t add another player will Gil be a little upset? I think I would be were I in his shoes.

I still have some sort of feeling that EG is gonna pull of some trade that comes out of nowhere, like with no rumors or anything to lead up to it. I just have that hunch…lol
I would maybe like to see a trade to get gordon from the bulls. I dont know what i would take though but it would have to be a sign and trade.

Well, I hope we don’t acquire Ben Gordon; he is a very overrated player — as usual, all people think about when they evaluate a player is scoring. Ben scores a lot, because he shoots a lot. He has one good stat: his FT %. That’s all.

aznzero they are called the Adidas TS Creator low. Gil was supposed to wear them during the playoffs but he did not they should be coming out around when the season starts or just before. If you look at pics of tmac during the playoffs you will see them on his feet.
