They just re-signed Chandler, extended Gallo and Afflalo last season.

McGee is likely going to get a 10 - 12 million dollar offer (big men are always overpaid) and he still seems like the inconsistent knucklehead he's always been. I can't imagine Wizards fans are too broken up about losing him, especially since he'll be making Nene money soon. If someone offers him 12 million a year, do you match?

If you give him that, you're basically capped out. You can re-sign Lawson for whatever because you have his Bird rights but that's it and using the MLE will be tough since you'll be skating close to the luxury tax.

For me the question is: you can keep this lineup intact and become IMO a more entertaining Atlanta Hawks (good but not great) or try to sign someone else or make a trade to improve your chances.
