1996505, Ernie Grunfeld Special! Ariza and Okafor for Rashard Lewis and #46

And this is why you don't keep a lame duck general manager.

The Wizards add two overpaid players, one who I guess will no backup or play out of position at PF, and don't really get that much better. Lewis was also their best shot at making a big deal. If you're going to try to win games, don't bite at the first deal that comes your way like this one.

I'm not sure why anyone would think, "Yeah, let's clog our payroll with the guys who couldn't help Chris Paul win. That'll be just what John Wall needs."

Finally, I also think that this means that Bradley Beal will be their #3 pick and I'm not sure that he and Wall are the best fit. Although at least Beal means that opponents might not be able to get away with just sitting in a zone all day (that is, if Beal can shoot better than he did during the college season.)

On the bright side, it means that they can finally amnesty Blatche.
