Blair & Humphries have expiring contracts after next year. I'm sure those two add trade pieces next season were part of the thnking

Not bad, the Wiz have a hill to climb. Very good odds we just landed a pick somewhere between 10th-15th. A much better pick than we could have gotten sending him to a contender.

We're going to have a ton of cap space... but so will everyone else in the league because of the new TV contract. The pick is this year as long as its not in the top 9.

Hmm, not bad. Kardashian has shown flashes of being a pretty good player; don't know why he can't make it stick. Blair is gone quickly, I assume. A low lottery pick for Morris is a good return, since that's where he was drafted originally and seems to have approximately earned that position.

We have some nice trade pieces for next year with 3 first rd picks (ours, Washington's & Miami's) and $15 mil in expiring contracts for Tucker, Humphries, Weems & Blair.

Both Blair and Humphries have barely played recently. Blair hasn't played at all in the past 5 games and Humphries has played a total of 4 minutes in the past 5 games.

Cavs not Miami.

Currently we would have #3, #12, #27 and #33 in the draft.

I believe Humphries is under contract for next season making $4,630,000. Blair is a $2,000,000 team option.

Kieff should make the Wizards better thus ensuring they don't go down to 9 or lower. Very good news.

Coro says that Blair is expiring.

EDIT: Well, it's actually a Team Option for next year, so basically still an expiring.

This is a much better deal than Orlando just got for Tobias Harris, whom, IMO is a similar player but without the baggage.

Good deal.

Seems a lot of media types and fans have to eat crow once again.

Both about McD as well as what Morris could fetch.

McDonough, good job.

Good deal.

I think a focused Kieff is a better player, with a natural position at half the cost.

I am pretty sure that Morris will be a steal for the Wizards anyway.

Well he didn't get the "pick and a good young player" but if it is THIS years #1 from the Wiz I'd say he did ok.
