Consider this: The worst deal the Wizards made this offseason was probably signing Jason Smith to a three-year, $16 million deal (1). That’s generally indicative of a fine summer, especially when the following things also happened:
- Chandler Parsons and Harrison Barnes each signed a four-year, $94 million deal.
- Evan Turner signed a four-year, $70 million deal.
- Timofey Mozgov signed a four-year, $64 million deal.
- Matthew Dellavedova signed a four-year, $38 million deal.
- Boban Marjanovic (!) signed a three-year, $21 million deal.
And never-been an All-Star Mike Conley, somehow simultaneously overrated and underrated, signed the richest contract in the history of the sport.
