We’re about a week away from the start of the 2016 NBA Free Agency period. News of Kevin Durant not setting up a meeting with the Washington Wizards broke many hearts, but it’s time to move on.
For the first time in years, it looks like the Wizards will finally be active participants in free agency.
Barring an unexpected trade – like the one that happened in 2012 for Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza – Washington will have enough cap room to re-sign Bradley Beal to the five-year max and pursue another player who’s expected to get a similar deal.
