I’ll start this piece in the most .... “So Bullets Forever” way possible. Because ... that’s my schtick, right?
While I was watching Washington Mystics guard Ariel Atkins and the USA Basketball women’s national team defeat Emma Meesseman and Belgium at the Entertainment and Sports Arena last night, the Washington Wizards welcomed their newly acquired players after the trade deadline: Kristaps Porzingis, Ish Smith and Vernon Carey, Jr.
Capital One Arena had a “Welcome” screen for Porzingis when he arrived. Some fans also gave him a shoutout!
The Wizards were also quick to make their jerseys in the locker room, even before they arrived.
