 Dejuan Blair to Washington. He adds to there front court depth and improve there front court along side Kris Humphrey. The Wizards are quickly improving there roster and making them a serious player in the east. They didn’t make the splashy moves but they got underrated big who can really play and a key veteran in Paul Pierce who can make shots, create for himself, and have John Wall that will make him better by getting him open looks. Plus add the fact that Otto Porter and Glen Rice Jr. Playing great in summer league. I can see this team surprising a lot of people with the development of the young and explosive backcourt and the added pieces they brought in.

Their frontcourt looks good now. They resigned Gooden too. They aren’t surprising moves, but they do their job good and both Blair and Humphries bring in physical (albeit short-ish) presences that are needed on a team. Porter can learn a lot from Pierce and Blair is a very good big that deserves minutes.

 watch out for these guys.  they made a lot of good moves and have a great mix of youth and quality vets.  gooden, blair and humphries give you solid depth, especially considering nene’s proneness to injuries.  pierce was a great pickup.  a quality vet that will have shortened minutes and allow porter to smell the court.  

but…maybe the biggest pickup will be assistant coach david adkins.  he was kevin durant’s high school coach and still is an associate.  if lebron can come home, they may think the same for kd in ’16.

 THe Wizards have gone from NBA laughingstock with the Gilbert and Javaris Crittenton gun situation to being a possible contender in the East.  They have a nice mix of youth with Wall and Beall which could be the best backcourt duo in the league down the road and veteran leadership bringing Paul Pierce and Dejuan Blair.  Otto Porter should be much improved this year.  The future is bright in the nation’s capital.

Since Nene gets hurt a lot it was essential to add frontcourt depth which they did and then some. Maybe the most physical frontcourt rotation in the league with Gortat, Nene, Humphries, Blair and Gooden. I wouldn’t want to come into the paint vs that lineup.

the wizards are built a lot like a typical old school team you would see in the 80s..a team you would think twice about going inside the lane on everytime you set the offense up that has role players at every angle…they have shooters, size and solid veteran leadership… Nene and Gortat are a complete load when both are starting, add the free agents that they signed and you have a pretty deep roster..

3 years/6 mil is a pretty damn good value for a quality tough big like Blair. That’s not much more than the minimum. More importantly again it is a team option in the 3rd year giving them free agent flexibility in 2016. So essentially this could be just a 2 year/4 mil deal which Blair is about as much you can ask for that value. The Wizards current depth chart is as follows:

PG: John Wall/Andre Miller
SG: Bradley Beal/Martell Webster/Glen Rice Jr. 
SF: Paul Pierce/Otto Porter
PF: Nene/DeJuan Blair 
C:  Marcin Gortat/Kris Humphries/Drew Gooden

That’s 12 guys on roster right there. Expect Garrett Temple to be retained as a backup guard to make it 13. 14 will be Al Harrington to be the SF/PF backup. The 15th spot will go to either Kevin Seraphin who they currently do have a restricted offer for, but for 3+ mil I see them renouncing his rights and bringing in a mimimum guy off their summer league squad, one of Khem Birch or Daniel Orton.

That is a pretty solid team right there and they got great value in Blair’s contract.

Webster is having back surgery so he will prob miss some of the season
