The deal can only be viewed as a salary purge to open up room for the crop of high-priced free agents available this offseason. Hinrich was set to make $17 million over the final two years of a $47.5 million pact agreed upon at the start of the 2006-07 season. According to the Chicago Tribune, that would put the Bulls clo

(Sports Network) - The last time the Washington Wizards had the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft, it didn't work out all that well. Kwame Brown started just 94 out of a possible 328 games over four seasons in the nation's capital before he was dumped. The moribund Wizards, who are coming off a season in which star guard Gilbert Arenas was suspended for bringing a firearm to work and threatening teammate Javaris Crittenton, can't afford another Brown-like debacle. There is no real decision, h
