ESPN ESPN is reporting that the Washington Wizards are very close to dealing PG Raymond Felton, this question is where? Two big rumors have surfaced, the first being Felton to the 76ers for Andre Miller. There been other names mentioned in this from what I'm hearing, maybe a Kevin Love/Dalembert flip but Miller/Felton is the base of the trade. The 76ers are saying they aren't interested but it does make sense for them since they publicly said they are rebuilding after leading Toronto catch them in the division standings. Miller would bring a flare to Washington that might be able to bring the winning streak back and get Forward AK47 some easy baskets in the open court that could help his game. Miller would also be an excellent defender of The Division Leading Miami Heat's PG Jason Kidd since they are similar players. The other involves Houston Rocket PG Mike Bibby coming to the Nations Capital for Felton. There a salary problem in this one since Bibby makes 14 M and Felton makes 2. The holdup in this trade is the Wizards want Kleiza and the Rockets don't want to trade him. Names mentioned in this deal are Rasheed Wallace, AK47, Mobley, Kleiza, Robert Swift, and of course the 2 PG's. We'll see how all this turns out but it appears the Raymond Felton era is over in Washington, Mike Golic ESPN News,

Hey! Toronto catching up to me is not why I'm looking to deal people. And did I reallly say I was rebuilding? If not, and I find out you're putting words in my mouth, I'ma go sue ESPN!

Though I'm resorting to looking forward to a high pick, splitting a home and home with Boston while winning on his court isn't bad. Andre Miller's OTB btw. If that doesn't say rebuilding I don't know what does
