At this point, I would shop him and take whatever I can get - bet it picks or veteran players. They're in a great position of being in rebuilding mode, but also having an exciting young star. They can tolerate being terrible for a few years, but they need to start moving in the right direction, and that is molding the team completely around Wall.
I would do the same, even if for pennies on the dollar, I just don't know if they could get rid of him in a trade without giving up a pick or youth as incentive. Can they amnesty him?
I think he's getting something like $6 mil/yr until 2014-2015. He's pretty terrible, but he still is capable of putting up some numbers. And his contract isn't bad enough where you need to toss in young talent for another team to take him. I can totally see a team like GSW taking him.
The problem with Blatche is he is a selfish POS. Seriously, dude is the most selfish player in the league; even Tyreke would call him a ballhog if coaches gave Blatche a green light and #1 option role. That being said he has talent... he has the potential to be a 20/5/5 player... if only he was a team player...

Z-Bo was averaging 20 & 10 in his third season in the league. This is Blatche's seventh season. He's still fairly young at 25 years old, but I don't see him changing much.
Blatche for Thabeet, K-mart, and Scola? Yeah, it's pretty much too late for Blatche to change. He just doesn't have the IQ on the court.

This guys is useless. Absolute waste of talent. Washington needs to get rid of both Blatche and Young. Not only are they bad in defense but they dont understand the concept of playing withing a team. Wall, Vesley, McGee and is the core to build around. Blatche+Young for Thompson and Udoh.
