Okafor, Ariza expected to opt in

[jonathanlambert33]

Okafor will earn about $14.49MM in the final year of his deal, while Ariza will be in line for a salary of about $7.73MM. Even though there's a chance both players could earn more long-term money if they were to opt out and sign new multiyear deals, they'd be taking significant pay cuts for '13/14 in that scenario.

With Okafor and Ariza locked up for next season, the Wizards will have just over $57MM committed to nine players, making them a good bet to be an over-the-cap club.

Good trade pieces, perhaps.

such a bad team to be over the cap. i still really like ariza tho. if we could draft one of bazz/bmack/dipo taking his contract off their hands would be decent.

Yeah Ariza is a good defender.  Could be a solid offensive player but he's in love with the three.
