Finally, Some Good News from Washington

We're gonna do a post every other day this godforsaken year whether they're any good or not, so help me Marcus. I'm working on a longform one, and I've got some of our contributors hard at work on some recurring bits, but none of that is ready to go today, so instead, a formal celebration of something we all already know about.

Delle Donne!

Our fondness for the 6'5" former Delaware Blue Hen is well documented. And now she's coming to Washington, reportedly because she wants to be nearer to her family, with which she's famously close. Chicago's loss is our gain. The 2015 WNBA has averaged 20.5 points, 6.6 boards, and 1.7 blocks per game in her four professional seasons, never missing the playoffs with the Sky. She'll make the Mystics instant contenders, a status deeply unfamiliar to Washington's bumbling franchise.

(So bumbling, in fact, that I can't even waste my hard-earned money on Delle Donne swag yet, because they haven't slapped any together and put it for sale. Can you imagine that happening to a big free agent inked by Little Danny Starfucker?)

John Wall welcomed EDD to town, as did teammate Emma Meesseman. No word yet from former opponent Wale.
