The Wizards continue to search for help off the bench and they have shown interest in Shabazz Muhammad, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.com (Twitter link). Tim Bontemps of The Washington Post tweets that the team is looking for someone who will remain under team control past this season. Muhammad will be a restricted free agent after the season.
It was reported earlier this week that the team would like to add a wing. Washington has been linked to P.J. Tucker, though he’ll be an unrestricted free agent after the season.
John Wall recently said that he expects the team to make a move before the deadline. “We’re looking at some options to help our bench out. Other than that I don’t know. I haven’t talked to [GM Ernie Grunfeld] about it.”
What would the Wizards offer for Bazz?
Hopefully not too much. Maybe a second round pick and a filler. Maybe Marcus Thornton or Trey Burke if that.
I think the Wizards would have to throw like two second round picks or a young player (that isn’t part of the Wiz core) to make it appealing to the Wolves. Unless they are willing to let Shabazz walk for nothing, I don’t see him commanding a large salary and he’s a solid backup foward.
Burke would make for a good story, as Flip traded him for what ended up being Bazz and Dieng (I think)
Burke goes no where!!!if you haven’t notice we winning with him now the new guy from over seas. Can go ASAP
