So you’re saying it doesn’t help the Wizards next year when Nicholson’s $6.5M isn’t on our books and we won’t have to go into the tax to keep Otto Porter? Or the two years after that when his nearly $7M each year isn’t on our books?

It was a horrible contract by Ernie in the offseason, and I wish we didn’t have to unload it so we could have used our 1st to get something better. But Chris focused way too much attention on getting Bojan and not enough on freeing up $20M in cap space over the next 3 years.

We can still use our second round picks to go after a backup PG. I’m not convinced this is our last move.
