Well I was hoping that we would get more than Brevin Knight but here is the article from the Wizards site:

Is that really the best we could get for him? I know he's not great, but this seems pretty weak.

I just found out that this saves us 5.8 million of salary cap space next year. I'm like the deal a little more now.

Whoops, for whatever reason I was thinking that this was the last year of White's contract. I knew that Knight was coming off the books this year (which is obviously why a team would trade for him at this point), but I thought White was as well which is why I didn't really get this. As is, considering that it didn't look like White was going to get much if any playing time, this is a relatively decent deal.

A thought about this trade ... Can the Wizards just release B. Knight ... does anyone remember how the Wizards traded C. Whitney for George McCloud ... and then just released him ... I just don't see how B. Knight can fit in this lineup ... If u think Jahadi didn't fit (being behind Haywood and Etan) ... how is Knight going to fit behind (@ times Arenas, Blake and Whitney) ??? I'm sure Knight would like the opportunity to be picked up by a team that wants him ... well its just a thought

That's a nice chunk of cap room that gives us, although we're probably going to have to use a fair amount of it to re-sign Etan if he keep sup his solid play.

Yeah I like the cap space...I just hope that Knight doesn't take any time away from Blake or Dixon.

I like this move for us. Frees up cap space. Knight can de a decent guy for us in spot minutes...he is a steady vet who can pass and make some fancy passes and moves.

Decent-to-good move.nobodybeatsthewiz
