Washington Wizards draft thread

Players under contract:

Guards:
Antonio Daniels (2 years, $12.8 million)
DeShawn Stevenson (3 years, $11.65 million, PO 2011)
Nick Young (3 years, $5.95 million, TO 2010, 2011)

Forwards:

Darius Songaila (3 years, $13.58 million, ETO 2011)
Andray Blatche (4 years, $12.52 million)
Oleksiy Pecherov (3 years, $5.37 million, TO 2010, 2011)
Dominic McGuire (2 years, minimum, NG 2010)

Centers:
Etan Thomas (2 years, $14.22 million, TK, ETO 2009)
Brendan Haywood (2 years, $11.5 million)

Free Agents:
F Antawn Jamison (Unrestricted, Bird)
G Gilbert Arenas (Unrestricted, Bird)
G Roger Mason (Unrestricted, E-Bird)

Cap situation:
If we renounce everyone, we'll be looking at $15.5 million in cap room. We'll be approximately $28 million below the luxury tax, which we are not looking to exceed.

Outlook:
As for the draft, we'll be looking at the old standby "Best Player Available" at 18 and 47, focusing on big men and backcourt depth. We're looking to re-sign all of our free agents, so any trades that would shed salary (even one or two million) is something we'll consider if it makes us a better team. We're not looking to trade Caron Butler unless it's for a LeBron James, Kobe Bryant type of player, which obviously isn't going to be offered.
