Jigo's listening...Go on..
With Gilbert, myself, Jamison, DeShawn, Haywood, Mike Miller, Randy Foye, Oberto (nice pickup) and the rest of the guys, I think we have more than enough to compete with the big dogs in the East. Now we just have to get it done. Boston and Orlando would be great to beat, but you know I have a special place in my heart for Cleveland for putting us out all those years in the playoffs.
It’s a good rivalry we have with them, but there’s no actual hate. I wasn’t raised to hate nobody. I respect LeBron James and the rest of them. In fact, I speak with LBJ often. That said, I tell you right now that Mike Miller, whom I love, has to take those LeBron shoes off. That’s just not acceptable around here. You heard that, Mike!
From Caron Butler's new blog

Washington Wizards guard Mike Miller, despite the urgings from his teammates, will continue to wear LeBron James' signature Nike shoes.
Wizards guard Mike Miller wore James' Nike shoes in training camp and was told by teammate DeShawn Stevenson not to wear them.
Michael Lee in The Washington Post writes:
"He got to get them out of here," said Stevenson, a noted James agitator who engaged in a war of words with him two postseasons ago that later involved rappers Soulja Boy and Jay-Z. "LeBron shoes -- we off that. We already got war against them. He can't wear that. It's all beef right there."
And Wizards forward Caron Butler says in his blog:
"Mike Miller, whom I love, has to take those LeBron shoes off. That's just not acceptable around here. You heard that, Mike!"
Despite the so-called beef, Miller tells Lee that he didn't understand how intense the rivalry is between the Wizards and the Cavaliers.
But that has changed.
I'm starting to understand what it is. There definitely is a competitive little atmosphere," Miller said. And Miller said he wouldn't let his friendship with James keep him from wanting to beat him. "He's a great basketball player," Miller said of James. "You always have friends in the league. That's how it is. The ball goes up, it's going to be us against them. It doesn't matter who it is."
This can't be stated enough...
The Wizards will never be healthy. However, if you are in the fantasy league and feel the need to draft Arenas or Jamison just before my pick, I won't be mad.
