RE: Will the Wizards Be Better Than The Celtics Next Season? News News News

I really, really hope Michael doesn't try to come back.
I don't believe he will, certainly not on the basis of what
99-year-old Abe Pollin, hardly Michael's closest confidante,
has to say.  No doubt old Abe would like to drum up some
excitement (i.e. season tickets) but Michael won't give up
his stake in the team for the sake of embarassing himself.  And
for what it's worth, I don't think they would be better than the
Celtics.  It sounds like a disaster to me.
