New Jersey drops to the 3rd pick. Cousins & Lopez in the paint would look pretty good.

What about the rest?

do washington even have a player left even worth playing the WNBA?

Based on skill, Arenas is pretty good...

Character, not so much...

Gilbert
Wall
Josh Howard

They can sign one max contract FA or maybe two 2nd tier FAs.

Not as bleak as I would have thought given the fire sale they had midseason.

Andray Blatche looked pretty promising after the All Star break too... other than that... they suck.

Washington is rebuilding the right way - hit rock bottom first and trade away all your bad assets.

Arenas will definitely be traded, but they'll have to take back at least one bad contract in return - someone else will be willing to take a chance on his talent.

Josh Howard will be a free agent, and I doubt they bring him back.

With all that cap space, they're a candidate to whiff on the big free agents and massively overpay for the 2nd tier.

too bad Houston couldn't get a higher pick

To 1,000,000 touchdowns...and beyond

Obama rigged it because he loves wall

I'm just happy the top 3 picks went to Eastern Conference teams, although I would have liked to have seen what trades the T'Wolves would have done had they won it (with Wall, Rubio, and Jonny Flynn)

Anyone that thinks Wall can play with Agent Zero is an idiot, and there isn't anyone that will take that contract off of the Wizards hands.

I actually wouldn't be shocked if they took Evan Turner.

I just don't see how they resolve playing Wall and Arenas at the same time.

Gilbert will be traded. List of top 25 worst contracts from Bill Simmons. It will be a combination of some of these guys that will fit better around Wall

Sweet Fan,

You just gave me an easy draft-exclude list for next season's fantasy basketball!

Jrue Holliday looked so happy/relieved when the 76er's got the 2nd pick instead of the 1st. Must have realized that if the 76ers had gotten the first pick he would lose his starting job
