The Washington Wizards will have a tough call this offseason with a number of players having the possibility of leaving in free agency, and with limited cap space, the Wizards need to think on every decision carefully.
The 2017 NBA offseason will be one of subtle movements for the Washington Wizards. The team is for the most part locked in to a couple of lengthy contracts with its core, but some key players aren’t as fortunate to have their money locked up for the next couple of years.
Some players on the Wizards are either restricted free agents or unrestricted free agents, and decisions on whether the team wants retain them is coming up fast.
Just to make the decision harder, reports have emerged stating the salary cap is going to be regressing $3 million from $102 million to $99 million. This will give teams like the Wizards even less freedom to work with in free agency, meaning they need to be careful about letting players go on their current roster.
Bearing all that in mind, here’s a look at the Washington Wizards’ four big free agents — Brandon Jennings, Bojan Bogdanovic, Trey Burke and Otto Porter Jr. — this offseason and whether the organization should attempt to keep them.
