BIBBY BUYOUT

Well would ya look at the Wizards!!!...I know most of you don't want to because they suck right now, but their future is extra bright now. Without Bibby's contract next year (an extra $6 million) the Wiz can use that money for more leverage. Let's look at who is under contract next year shall we?

John Wall ($5 mil/2 years), Andray Blatche ($6 mil/5 years), Trevor Booker ($1.2/2 years), Jordan Crawford ($1 mil/2 years), Javale McGee ($1.6 mil/2 years), Kevin Seraphin ($1.5 mil/2 years)...all good young players...and last but not least: Rashard Lewis's crazy big contract ($20 mil/3 years).

So you are looking at close to $37 mil next year...over $20 mil for other players. You will have to give Nick Young at least $4 to $5 mil a year, but after that its $15 mil. Then the draft picks...its still probably over $10 million. Why not go get guys like Shannon Brown, Nenad Krstic or Louis Amundson (hey he hustles, I really like him as a player)?



There are plenty of decent young players in this free agent class...they won't be game-changers but they can still help a rebuilding roster. And you don't need to pay extravagant sums of money for these kids. Build around John Wall. DRAFT SCORERS! Unfortunately the free agent class is ripe with role players but no guys that can put up 20 points a night.

So, go after some guys that can put up some numbers in the scoring column, just don't make the mistake of going after JJ Redick II: Jimmer Fredette. With all the money the Wiz have, the future is there, I just hope they keep making the right moves.
