They arent going to get anywhere this summer. Until Leonsis officially buys the team, the wiz are in limbo. These moves were pure salary dumps. Howard's next year is a team option so basically it is expiring.
The jamison trade was impressive in the sense that they actually got a young player and a draft pick out of it when it was no secret the goal was simply to get under the luxury tax threshold regardless of whatever smoke ernie was throwing out there.
Contrary to popular belief and barring something shocking, the wiz are married to gilbert. He has 80 million due and you just can't buy out of contracts like that.
