Andrew Nicholson to the Wizards 4 Years/$26 Million 

Post#1 » by Howard Mass » Sun Jul 3, 2016 4:20 pm

Andrew Nicholson is going to the Washington Wizards for 4 years/$26 Million.

While some fans wanted him back, it came down to a numbers game in terms of the front court and The Magic needing different types of players at the 4.

I am glad he was able to perform well last season so there would be interest in him as things never really worked out here.

Nothing but the best to Andrew Nicholson.

Now Nicholson can go join the ranks of similarly educated people in DC, and ball out on Tindr even harder

I liked that he improved his stroke and held one of the best post games in the entire league. But the league has passed him by and Vucevic outclasses him to be in that Kanter rol. Happy trails in DC

Indeed I shall, but I'm having trouble choosing. I was hoping for it to be someone we drafted, which leaves us with Gordon and Mario (already well established players), and now Harvey and Big Zimm (won't play for us). Oh the humanity!!

We just purchased a 4 night all expenses paid trip to the m'fer torture chamber.

Glad he'll get his chance and with a cool 6.5 million a year, congrats Andrew!

Just when I thought there was no chance for another season to go 0-4 versus the Wiz.

I'm happy for AN. I admit I was never happy with his play here - just seemed like a super intelligent guy like that would have applied himself to improve his rebounding and defense more than he did. Having said that, I always liked the guy and wish him well.
