Stay connected for news and updates

The terms for Andray Blatche's new contract have come in, and they're complicated. Allow Michael Lee of the Washington Post to explain.

Blatche, who signed a five-year deal worth $15 million in the summer of 2007, was slated to earn $3.26 million this season and $3.52 million next season. But the deal is structured in a complicated manner that allows the Wizards to give him a slight salary boost this season and next season, using some of their available salary cap space. So, this basically works out to being a five-year contract with Blatche is expected to earn more than $30 million between now and the end of this deal.    

Bullets Forever is ecstatic with the news.

Getting Andray Blatche for what basically amounts to the value of the mid-level exception?  Wow.  That's a flippin' steal, regardless of the new CBA.  The fact that they've restructured it to lower the cap hit in the post-CBA years makes it even better.  Ernie Grunfeld and his team deserve major kudos for this one.
