Wizards Considered 'Stealth Candidate' To Pursue Kevin Love

May 26, 2014 4:18 PM

The Washington Wizards are a "stealth candidate" for Kevin Love, whose future with the Minnesota Timberwolves has been put in question recently.

Love's father, Stan, played for the then-Bullets in the 1970s and gave his son the middle name "Wesley" after Wes Unseld.

Love has a soft spot for the Wizards.

Any potential deal, however, could ultimately die if the Timberwolves ask for Bradley Beal.

Trevor Ariza Open To Re-Signing With Wizards

May 4, 2014 11:03 PM

Trevor Ariza was asked whether he wanted to return to the Washington Wizards as a free agent in the offseason.

“I don’t know. It would be nice to come back here, but again, who knows what’s going to happen,” said Ariza, denying a rumor that he desires a return to the Western Conference to be closer to family. “That’s not . . . I don’t have to. Wherever I’m wanted. Whoever wants me on their team, I guess.”

Ariza was nearly dealt to the Los Angeles Clippers for Caron Butler in 2013, but Donald Sterling nixed the deal because he did not want to disrupt chemistry.
