The Kevin Love sweepstakes are heating up. Writing for NBA.com, David Aldridge (h/t Chuck Myron of HoopsRumors.com) says the Washington Wizards have emerged as a “stealth candidate” for Love.

It is officially the offseason for Martell Webster, as his Washington Wizards were eliminated last round by the Indiana Pacers.

The Washington Wizards are coming off the heels of a pretty jarring regular season that involved playful gambling and not so playful debt collecting (depending on whether you ask Gilbert Arenas or Javaris “Rather-Push-900-Pounds-of-Cocaine-Than-The-Basketball-Upcourt” Crittenton). The Wizards were in disarray. Scraping together hope of a future that didn’t involve firearms in...
