Here's hoping Rizzo means Chicago Bulls-Era Michael Jordan, not Washington Wizards-Era Michael Jordan.

Jim Riggleman calls Wang signing a "statement":

"I think it is a great signing on the part of the whole organization. It makes a statement by the Lerners, Stan Kasten and Mike Rizzo that we are not standing pat."

Okay, Jim.
