Wes Unseld Steppin down according to sportstalk 980
Wes Unseld stepping down as GM after the draft according to the press release. Seems to clear the way for an MJ return. MAYBE

I heard the same thing. Sounds like there is more to come.
Apparently there is nothing Abe can do to change his mind.

Here are my first thoughts on this event.
I think this bodes ill for MJs return to the Wizards as President of Basketball Operations. Pollin had a guy on the inside in Wes which probably gave him a level of comfort with MJ there. However, now that Wes is gone, will Wes be more likely to own a team run by a guy picked by his successor, and in effect paid by his successor, with the ownership stake coming from Lincoln Holdings? I think Abe would be mroe inclined to bring in someone he is familiar with, and that would be his guy.
I have no idea who it would be, but Krause worked for Pollin before, would he do it again?

Good point and way to look at it. I tend to favor the notion that MJ comes in and is the replacement here. I think with Wes gone Pollin maybe more inclined to give MJ the control he wants and maybe steps back. We'll see. You could be right , Wouldn't that be something. I don't want Krause here but who knows interesting to see how it all plays out.

Finally! That guy gave FAT contracts to guys who were not worth the money- like Juwan, etc.). He also got rid of anybody who might have been an awesome rebounder(CWebb). The list is endless, he was also the worst coach in NBA history

202-345 doesnot make him "the worst coach in history".
A lot of coaches do not have a .369 record.
