It was media day around the NBA Monday, and the festivities proceeded mostly as expected in Washington D.C. John Wall talked about rehabbing after his off-season surgery, and he downplayed any rift with Bradley Beal. Scott Brooks talked about emphasizing defense before offense. Beal talked about putting wins before an All-Star berth. Off-season transplants to D.C. talked about making the transition to a new city. (Ian Mahinmi had dropped his daughter off at the first day of school earlier in the day; Andrew Nicholson had used D.C. bikeshare to tour the monuments; Trey Burke's been busy working, and the most notable sight he's seen is Tysons Corner, the massive mall in Northern Virginia).
