Washington Wizards: Teams
built 193 days ago
The Washington Wizards can’t do much this offseason because they are expected to be over the salary cap for the 2006-07 season when the salary cap is announced later this summer, which will limit them in terms of signing free agents. The free agent pool isn’t strong this year anyway. The team does need to improve their interior defense. Big men Etan Thomas and Brendan Haywood haven’t shown much to prove they can improve that area.

The Washington Wizards will be having minor modifications on their team jerseys and logos. To accommodate the gold/black alternate jerseys they introduced last season along with the design change on the Verizon Center floor, they changed their secondary team colors from bronze to metallic gold, and the player's name on the back of the jersey is changed from white/blue with bronze trim to gold (blue on home uniforms) with a change in lettering.

The Washington Wizards began as the Chicago Packers in 1961, spent several seasons in Baltimore, and finally landed in Washington, as the Washington Bullets, in 1974. ...On May 15, the team officially became known as the Washinton Wizards, a decision made by owner Abe Pollin in conjunction with the team's anti-violence campaign.

The Washington Wizards franchise joined the NBA in 1961 as the Chicago Packers. The following season, they changed their name to the Chicago Zephyrs. Neither name improved the team’s performance as they won just 43 games in 2 seasons. In 1962 the franchise moved to Baltimore and became known as the Baltimore Bullets. The Franchise remained in Baltimore for 10 seasons and made 8 playoff appearances during this time frame. The Bullets advanced to the 1971 NBA Finals with Gene Shue as the coach and star players like Earl Monroe, Wes Unseld and Gus Johnson.

The story of the Washington Wizards strangely begins in Chicago. The team first entered the league in 1961 as the Chicago Packers, and, after a few seasons in Baltimore, the team moved to Washington in 1974 as the Washington Bullets. In 1997, the team once again changed its name to the Wizards. All through the Wizards long history, the team's players have consistently given owners of Wizards tickets something to cheer about.
