Who would have thought the aging Mike Bibby would have such an impact on the Wizard's future? In a surprising and rare move, Bibby forfeited next season's salary (roughly $6.2 million) to ensure he wouldn't have to stay in D.C. Mike, I don't blame you, and I'm not mad at you. In fact, I'm downright elated with you. You suck, and you saved us money. And we need money.
The new CBA likely will result in a hard salary cap, but the Wizards still will now be one of the most aggressive teams in free agency due to outstanding financial flexibility. The only difficult part is getting players to come here, and that is a potential issue. The Wiz have one selling point. Come play with the unproven John Wall. In today's NBA, that's unlikely to lure the stars.
Props to Ernie Grunfeld again for making these two financially beneficial moves, along with bringing some youth in return (that's how you rebuild, Dan).
Oh, and thanks again Mike Bibby. You're the man!
