As it becomes more and more clear that the Wizards won't have a shot at recruiting Kevin Durant, Washington needs to find a new top target. J. Michael of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports that his sources say the Wizards' new top target in free agency is Ryan Anderson.
The question is: How much would it take for the Wizards to win a bidding war for Anderson? It won't be easy, according to Michael:
The Wizards will have a lot of competition for Anderson's services. He may command in the range of $17 million in the open market, one league GM projected in an interview with CSN recently.
