considering jeffries and washington have reached an impasse(http://www.washtimes.com/sports/20060706-115734-4704r.htm), i doubt that washington would match a long-term MLE deal, the same kind that Mike James is trying to get.

"They have no intentions of overpaying him. As a restricted free agent the Wizards can match any offer Jeffries receives.
The Wizards, at least for now, don't appear to be interested in doing a sign-and-trade, despite that fact that Philadelphia and Phoenix are believed to have approached the Wizards, who already have tendered Jeffries the required one-year qualifying offer.
Miller's position is that Jeffries' value to the Wizards is higher than what it is for other teams because he knows the system well. The 6-foot-11 Jeffries played all five positions last season.
'He wants to do something that he will be happy with over the next five years...'"

there's no way washington matches a 5-yr MLE deal.

Basically, most of the GMs in the league have the same problem. Bottom line is, we needed 3 legitimate scorers, and now, if this is true, we have them. Surround them with decent role players who average around 10 per game, and we have the model for a championship.

Plus, Mike James, Shane Battier, Yao, and Tracy is one hell of a defensive team.

Also, this is pretty thin for the new model of quickness and depth!

Not running away with that capability!!!
