19 Days Washington Wizards Over the final 49 games of last season, The Wizards outscored their opponents 95.6 to 94.5. Over the first 33 games, the Wiz got outscored 97.2 to 89.2. It's not a coincidence that John Wall was on the court for those final 49 games and inactive for the first 33. It's perhaps the biggest piece of evidence his agent can bring to the table when the two sides open negotiations on a new contract July 1. Wall is going to be asking for a maximum five-year, $79 million extension. | 25 Days Washington Wizards The Wizards plan to begin contract extension discussions with John Wall on July 1, the first day the team is eligible to do so. All signs continue to point to Washington maxing out Wall. "Obviously, we've said all along that we're building this team around John and with John. We want to have him here long term," said GM Ernie Grunfeld. We don't anticipate it taking much time to get something done if the Wizards come to the table offering max money. | 26 Days Washington Wizards John Wall sounds willing to accept less than a maximum salary contract extension depending on what happens with the Wizards in the offseason. We don't really believe Wall will take less than the max. "You never know how it goes," he said. "The main thing with me is it's not all about me. I'm not a selfish type of person, type of player. All I want to do is win. If we're winning, I'm cool with anything." All signs point to the Wizards giving him a max extension in the offseason and building around their franchise player. | 1 Month Washington Wizards Wizards owner Ted Leonsis said the team plans to keep John Wall for a "long, long time." All signs point to Washington making Wall a max player and extending him long-term in the offseason, and frankly the Wizards really have no choice. Wall displayed improvement when he got on the floor this season, and the team has to be hopeful he'll continue to evolve his game and his chemistry with Bradley Beal will continue to grow. Don't expect Wall to be wearing a different uniform any time soon. | 1 Month Washington Wizards John Wall shot 8-of-21 from the field for 23 points with three boards, four assists and one 3-pointer in 38 minutes against the Bulls on Friday. Once Wall made his season debut on January 12, he didn't miss a single game and averaged 32.6 minutes per game. Wall has to work on his jumper a bit, but he looks ripe for the picking in the second round next year. | 1 Month Washington Wizards John Wall scored 24 points vs. the Sixers in a 97-86 loss on Friday, adding two boards, seven assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes. He shot 9-of-21 from the field, but he's been solid shooting the ball lately. He's shooting 46 percent since the All-Star break and when taking into account that he's averaged 20.6 points, 4.6 boards, 7.8 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.9 blocks and 0.4 triples in that span, he'll be someone to consider in the early part of the second round in standard leagues next year. | 1 Month Washington Wizards John Wall just missed a triple-double in Wednesday's loss with 17 points, nine rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and two blocks on 7-of-18 shooting. He didn't hit a 3-pointer and his lack of them is the only thing keeping him from being a first-round pick next season. And even without them, he still might be worth a late first-round pick anyway. | |
