    Lil’ Earl Boykins Headed to DC


    The Wizards’ mounting injury problems have left them with no choice but to sign the diminutive and beloved point guard: “Down to one healthy point guard, the Washington Wizards signed 11th-year veteran Earl Boykins on Wednesday to back up Gilbert Arenas while the club waits for the healthy return of three other players at that position. ‘Earl is a proven veteran point guard who will provide us with leadership and stability off of the bench,’ Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld said.”

      very nice season last year here in Italy. Greetings from Modena Earl and good luck!

      I know they want him coming off the bench, but… can’t they just play him and Arenas together? I mean, Arenas is not a true point guard anyways… (well neither is Boykins… but..still)

      I have been waiting for someone to pick him up he is a beast! I remember a few years back when he dropped16 in ot against the sonics, my boy was in disbelief that such a small dude could do that. Since that day he has always been one of my faves

      I give him 4 games, before he goes down with an injury. I wouldn’t be surprised if he twist his ankle in his first game, Just as an initiation type of deal for Joining the Wizards, and donning a Wizards jersey. Like a rite of passage kinda of deal!
