I think you meant "buy", but I knew what you meant. Only a miracle could have Easy Teddy buying the Slins too.

Maybe the Wiz can become just as adept at blowing 3-1 series leads as the Caps.
Oh joy

Extraodinarily, but quietly philanthropic?? Is that what you mean?

If Leonsis puts in the same time, patience and money as he did for the Caps, the Wiz should be good again in 3-4 years. I am looking forward to it!
