Washington Wizards
The Wizards’ offense is just above average in today’s NBA. Their defense, however, is as bad as it has been since 2008-2009 when Washington lost sixty-three games.
Gaining Trevor Ariza will probably help, though losing Austin Rivers won’t. Losing Kelly Oubre will. Those were the two players the Wizards swapped for the thirty-three-year-old who is on a one-year, $15 million deal that he signed with Phoenix.

I guess the thought was that Ariza could improve this team (and the East is still fairly open) and even if he doesn’t, his expiring contract opens up some more wiggle room for Washington to do some things in what is likely to be a busy off-season this summer.

Thing is, Washington is pretty hamstrung, not just for next year, but even the year after. It is set to pay Otto Porter, Bradley Beal and John Wall through 2021, Wall even longer (and a lot more). At least Ian Mahinmi only has one more full year left on his deal. He’ll make over $15 million next season.
Dwight Howard is set to make another $5-plus million next season. He was shut down at the end of November and may not come back. He’ll be re-evaluated in three months.
Atlanta Hawks
The Nets and Hawks combined for 271 points on Saturday night in the Big Apple but Atlanta was on the wrong end of the result, losing by seventeen.
John Collins led the way with twenty-nine; Dewayne Dedmon and Kent Bazemore were in the twenties, too. In all, twelve Hawks put at least one in the basket.

The Hawks’ results schedule is starting to look awfully bloody. Atlanta has won just three times since Nov. 4 and two of those wins came by a combined three points. It is being out-scored by over ten points per game, on average, which is the worst such differential in the NBA.
Taurean Prince has been out since the first week of this month and he won’t be re-evaluated until after Christmas. Omari Spellman and Miles Plumlee each missed the Brooklyn game and are considered day-to-day.
It’s going to be a long second half for the Hawks; heck, it’s going to be a long time before they even get to the second half.
