Thomas Traded, Songalia Sent, Pecherov Pounced!
“Everyone on the contract will stay, unless we make a trade”, is what we were told yesterday by Wizards president, Ernie Grunfeld; and low and behold, what do we have here?
Washington, we have a trade. A few of them, to be exact.
Etan Thomas - traded. Darius Songaila - traded. Fifth pick - gone. Oleksiy Pecherov - see ya!
Wizards add Randy Foye and Mike Miller from the Minnesota Timberwolves, that some say would keep them quite above the luxury-tax threshold.
Etan Thomas, (contract signed, sealed, delivered) says the trade is "a win-win", and a "blessing".
"I'm ready", added Thomas.
Foye and Miller make up Minnesota's two key point guards, which the Wizards' front office obviously feel is a much needed commodity.
Here’s what we know, right now.

He obviously knew of the trades during the presser yesterday - especially Thomas (who I asked about) but made no mention of anything until it was official.
Go Wizards!
