WASHINGTON -- The Washington Wizards waived Andray Blatche on Tuesday,
designating him as the teams amnesty player. NHL Jerseys
From China . The 25-year-old forward averaged 9.9 points and 5.4
rebounds over seven seasons with the Wizards, who drafted him out of high school
in the second round in 2005. The move enables the Wizards to remove the $23
million remaining on Blatches contract from their salary cap after he failed to
live up to expectations and dealt with a series of off-court incidents. "Andray
did not figure into our future plans, and using the amnesty provision is a
mutually beneficial opportunity for us to part ways," Wizards team president
Ernie Grunfeld said. Blatche was shot during a carjacking attempt in September
2005, was arrested in 2007 for soliciting sex from an undercover police officer
and suspended for a game in December 2010 for brawling with teammate
JaVale McGee outside a Washington nightclub. He also clashed with coaches. In
January 2010, then-coach Flip Saunders suspended him for a game after he was
belligerent with the coaching staff. At last seasons home opener, Blatche
addressed the crowd by saying: "This is your captain, Andray Blatche," and after
the game complained there werent enough plays being run for him. In 2011-12, he
played in just 26 games, averaging 8.5 points. Wizards coach Randy Wittman
banished him from the team in March to work on his conditioning. Earlier in the
season, Blatche missed time with a calf injury. Attempts to reach Blatche for
comment were unsuccessful. "We will be able to continue to develop our core
group of young players, blend in the solid veterans we have acquired and
maintain financial flexibility while Andray will be able to get a fresh start
with another team," Grunfeld said. "We wish him the best moving forward." NHL Jerseys
