Marc Stein of ESPN has reported that “Names that keep coming up as top targets for the Wizards in free agency, league sources say, are Al Horford, Ryan Anderson and Nicolas Batum.” It seems as if Washington is looking for a max-contract type player that could help spread the floor. Nic could be the answer for them as he is a top-free agent guard/forward this offseason.
Batum is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer after his completing his first season in Charlotte. He has become the surprise of this year’s free agent class as he will likely receive a max contract that not many expected before the season began.
