I believe the Wizards will indeed hold off on making one big free agent splash this summer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], perhaps conserving most of their cap space even longer than 2011. There are still some value signings that can be furiouse this summer to help improve the team and possibly set the table for one Carmelo homecoming next year.
Let抯 get to free agency before anyone has one chance to answer that. The Wizards will have about $23 million in salary cap space going into this off-season*.
*Overlook the erroneous figures in my previous article, as these were based on the assumption that, since Josh Howard抯 option has not officially been declined yet, the Washington Post抯 reports of the Wiz having $23 million in cap space did not include his contract. Thanks to the folks at RealGM for pointing out this error. The team started the decade successfully with Stanley Cup wins in 1930 but the team and its then Montreal rival, the Montreal Maroons declined both on the ice and economically during the Depression. Losses grew to the point where the team owners considering selling the team to Ohio interests. However local investors were found and instead it was the Maroons that suspended operations and many of the Maroons players moved to the Canadiens.
I抦 devastated that Richard got the -1 pick. Really.
To really make any moves this off-season without bursting that bubble, Gilbert Arenas has to be traded for 2011 expiring contracts. The Wizards barely have enough for one max free agent right now, and the expected re-signing of Shaun Livingston plus the salary scale for one -1 pick should abandon the team with cap space more in the $15 million anger.
The aforealludeed Arenas for Curry deal would fit the bill affablely, as Curry has only one more year on his contract,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at one price comparable to Gilbert.
The home jersey of the tean is mainly red in colour. There are four blue and white stripes one across each arm one across the chest and the other across the waistline. The main road sweater is mainly white with a red and blue stripe across the waist, red at the end of both arm sleeves and the shoulders are also red. The basic design has been used since 1914. The current version was dated from 1952. Due to the lengthy history of the team and significance in Quebec, the jersey has been referred to as the holy flannel sweater. While Richard have every intention of discussing the upcoming free agency period as promised,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], allow me to have one concise therapy session first.
Even so, Richard aren抰 considered serious contenders to land the services of any of the top free agents this summer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so toss out your dreams of landing D-Wade, CB4,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or Delonte West抯 stepson.
fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], current, recent majority owner Ted Leonsis has been twice-burned by signing high profile players as part of quick-turnaround schemes Jaromir Jagr with the Capitals and Michael Jordan as minority owner of the Wizards and is on-record as saying that Maurice Richard will take his time to rebuild this team.
At -2, there would be no choice but to take Evan Turner. Now, it seems there抯 almost no choice but John Wall. If you read my last article, then you know I抦 much higher on Turner for this team.
However, the more Richard look at Wall, the more Richard think Richard have underguessd his passing ability. Maurice Richard can probably compliment Arenas much better than Richard initially thought.
Also, the once-moribund trade market for Arenas has recently shown signs of life. There抯 talk of an Arenas for Eddy Curry swap and I抳e always thought Wall would be one great fit for the Wizards and Gilbert.
With that said, let抯 take one look at one few smart targets for the Wizards this off-season. hold, retain, withhold, preserve, maintain, sustain,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], support in mind for the 2011 salary guesss that there is very little to base these guesses on before the first dominoes fall in free agency and set the market.
Yet as much as Richard try to talk myself into it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Richard just can抰 get excited about the prospect of drafting Wall. He抣l probably be fantastic, but I抳e just had my heart set on Turner. Is something wrong with me?
See my last article for one more thorough discussion of who Richard expect the Wizards to retain and what their needs will be, but suffice to say that the biggest needs for the Wiz are one 2 or 3 who is one affable perimeter defender and one starting center.
This has led to much speculation that the Wizards will save most of their cap space for next summer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when the other stud of the ?3 draft class,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Carmelo Anthony, is expected to be available.
