Don't re-sign Ariza for too much... dude was lighting it up at certain points throughout the season and has shown excellent perimeter defense. But Beal's going to need a re-up in a few years and I think Otto needs some burn. The team will take a step back with his growing pains, but it's better for the long term.

Good analysis. I was sooooo excited when Beal ripped the ball away from Hibbert and drilled that three to put us ahead. A few minutes later, not so much. But it was a great year and some nice payoff for being a Bullets fan since as far back as I can remember (I'm 37).

I agree it will be tough if we lose Ariza, he played out of his mind this year, but with Webster and Porter on the books the next few years, we can't afford to go crazy on an Ariza contract and spend so much of our cap on one position. I'm willing to pay Gortat a bit more, since bigs are generally harder to come by and we don't have any real talent at the 5 if he were to leave (Nene plays better at the 4).

Everyone's been praising Ernie for putting this team together, but I'm withholding my praise until I see what he's able to do this off-season. Should be exciting.
