They'll be relevant the minute they cut Gilbert, build through the draft, and give John Wall some good, young pieces to grow with him. I can see them being the next Thunder in about 4 years, as long as they stay patient and don't bog themselves down with signing marginal veterans to long-term deals.
Crittenton is a FA; so is Josh Howard. So, really their team is as follows: Wall Arenas Al Thornton Blatche McGhee and Nick Young and Q Ross off the Bench Arenas makes about $18 million and the other 5 make about $12 million combined. That leaves them around $20 million to spend on Free Agents and John Wall (which I'm guessing can be signed over the cap after they spend all the cap $ if they decide to).
wow...a 4.0. I bet he had the best woven baskets and clay ashtrays in the whole class. I keed, i keed. Sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders.
This. They are, by no means the best team, but they are also not the worst team. Obviously, they can't contend for a championship next season. Wizards should just take this next season to let Wall get all the experience he can get, and get a high draft pick. Next summer / season, the Wizards should take the East by storm.
