Bullets Forever — Lots of folks here have been asking why the Wizards have not signed this guy, or that guy... or why they haven't otherwise filled out the roster.As it stands now, and with the signing of Josh Howard, the Wizards have 12 players under contract.

Washington Wizards July 30, 2010Josh Howard deal a steal for Washington Wizards?
Wizards Insider | Washington Post — If not for his serious left knee injury last February, Josh Howard probably would've been one of the most sought after small forwards this summer. Arguably, it would've been LeBron James, Rudy Gay, Paul Pierce and then Howard. But with the former all-star recovering from a torn ACL at age 30, Howard had to wait until the final week of July to sign an incentive-laden deal in the neighborhood of $4 million. Considering Howard's résumé and the contracts that some other small forwards signed this summer, the Wizards didn't necessarily pull off a coup but they did get a solid, low-risk deal that co...
Washington Wizards July 30, 2010Kevin Seraphin signs with Washington Wizards, reaches buyout with French team
Wizards Insider | Washington Post — The Wizards roster will soon be at 12 players after first-round pick Kevin Seraphin's contract is validated by the league office in the next few days. Seraphin recently reached a buyout agreement with his French club, Cholet, with the Wizards paying $500,000 to free him from his obligations, according to his agent, Bouna Ndiaye. Seraphin was acquired, along with Kirk Hinrich, in a draft-day deal with Chicago. As the 17th overall pick, he can sign a two-year deal worth about $2.7 million, with the Wizards holding team options for the next two years. With Josh Howard expected to sign a one-year ...

Dallas Mavericks July 29, 2010Quick thoughts on keeping Josh Howard
Bullets Forever — Ned Dishman - NBAE/Getty Images View full size photo » I was always intrigued by how the Wizards would handle the Josh Howard situation. In the end, they stuck to the plan and kept him on a one-year contract. In retrospect, that was a pretty obvious decision based on the way this offseason has played out. I might want to get that crystal ball fixed. Anyway, Ernie Grunfeld and company probably made the right move here. At the end of the day, the investment is minimal and the payoff could be nice. If you take a...

Boston Celtics July 28, 2010(UPDATE: Brad Miller signs with Rockets) Next step names for Bulls
Blog a Bull — UPDATE: Marc Stein is reporting Brad Miller has signed with the Houston Rockets. KC: "The Bulls now have nine players under contract and roughly $7.8 million of cap space left.

New York Knicks July 14, 2010Bobcats poised to sign guard Livingston
Bulls Blog | Chicago Breaking Sports — By K.C. Johnson LAS VEGAS -- Shaun Livingston has agreed to a two-year deal worth roughly $7 million, which was first reported by the Charlotte Observer. Livingston had been on the Bulls' radar as a backup point guard, which they currently don't have on their roster. With roughly $5-6 million of salary-cap space currently remaining while $7 million is tied into an offer sheet for J.J. Redick, the Bulls are exploring many free-agent options. These include -- but are not limited to -- Brad Miller, Kurt Thomas, Raja Bell, Ronnie Brewer and Josh Howard. The Bulls are still seeking additional big m...

Bullets Forever — The Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls have shown "serious interest" in free-agent forward Josh Howard, a league source told Yahoo! Sports. While the Bulls could have the salary-cap space to sign Howard, depending on what happens with their offer sheet to J.J. Redick, the Celtics would need a sign-and-trade to arrange a deal because they have already used their midlevel exception on Jermaine O’Neal. Howard has yet to receive a contract offer. The Washington Wizards also have some interest in re-signing Howard. Marc Spears.

- Josh Howard returning to the Wizards Wizards Insider | Washington Post Josh Howard has agreed to come back to the Wizards for one year, according to his agent, Derek Lafayette. Lafayette said the terms are still being finalized but the deal is believed to be worth $4 million with incentives. Wizards No. 1 overall pick John Wall welcomed the move on his Twitter account, "Glad to hear we [re-signed] Josh Howard...Feel he can help us out a lot!!!" He averaged 14.5 points in four games before tearing his left anterior cruciate ligament in a game against Chicago on Feb. 22, but he impressed the Wizards in his short stint with his enthusiasm and inspired play.

- JaVale McGee cut from Team USA [UPDATED] Wizards Insider | Washington Post There won't be any JaValevator sightings in Turkey -- or New York, for that matter -- this summer. Wizards center JaVale McGee was cut from Team USA on Wednesday, unable to extend his promising offseason, which saw him dominate the Las Vegas Summer league and earn a surprise invitation to try out for the squad. McGee was a last minute addition and had some encouraging moments, but USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo and Coach Mike Krzyzewski elected to keep only two traditional centers in Dallas' Tyson Chandler and New Jersey's Brook Lopez. Colangelo trimmed the roster down to 15 players b...
- Is it Al Thornton time? Wizards Insider | Washington Post It's pretty easy to forget about Al Thornton since he barely was around long enough to make a difference for the Washington Wizards last season. He arrived in late February, had some great games followed by some disappearing acts, missed seven games late with a groin injury, then finished quietly. The 6-foot-7 Thornton averaged 10.7 points in 24 games with the Wizards last season and is capable of playing at both forward positions, given his strength and physical style of play. But when next season begins, Thornton stands as the most likely candidate to start at small forward with most of the ...
