Who will return to the Wizards next season?

[JWaLL]

The majority of our roster is on an expiring contract. It's doubtful we don't resign any of them and leave our team at 5 players. The following players are expiring contracts:

 

Earl Boykins

Randy Foye

Josh Howard (Team Option)

Zydrunas Ilgauskus

Mike James

Mike Miller

Fabricio Oberto

Qunton Ross (Player Option)

James Singleton

 

There is a 0% chance as far as I am concerned that Ilgauskus or James will return to the Wizards next year, so I went ahead and crossed them off. As far as the others, there are some who I would love to have on our roster for next season.

 

Randy Foye: We can make a qualifying offer for him and the price is not that high for a player of his talent, so he should definitely be someone we should try to reacquire. He has adapted well to the point guard position and is playing unselfishly as of late. For a small price, I say keep him.

 

Josh Howard: His contract is very high, and with ACL injuries being tough to recover from, I don't think it is worth the risk to bring back someone who is severely injured. I think we learned our lesson the first time after bringing Gilbert Arenas back.

 

Mike Miller: He is an intelligent, unselfish player who can light up the floor whenever he wants to and can step up as a team leader. If he lowers his asking price enough, I would say bring him back. If he is asking for around $9-10 million, I would unfortunately say let him walk.

 

Fabricio Oberto: No. Goodbye.

 

Quinton Ross: With his player option, there's a good chance we'll see him on our roster next season. Either way, I would say keep him. He is an excellent perimeter defender and takes pride in his defense, a quality that has lacked in our franchise for a long time. He also has a nice shooting touch and can step back and hit the deep jumper. For his low price, you can't pass up on that.

 

James Singleton: I love this guy's energy. He truly plays 100% every minute he is on the floor and is very unselfish, working hard on both ends of the floor. He is a great rebounder and shot blocker who has shown off his nice shooting touch. To me, he is a Dominic McGuire with a better basketball IQ and jumpshot. Again, another low salary player who can provide well to any team. Keep him.
