PrintI'm trying to figure out the salary cap. i read that Yi's contract is "qualifying". does this mean the wiz have to keep him next year unless somebody offers him more money? i hope that's not true. without yi, young, and bibby they would have around $25 million for next year to plug one of their giant holes, center, forward, shooting guard .. i might be way off on that calculation. i wonder what you can get for $25 million?

We don't know next year's cap given the labor situation, so take it for what it's worth.
With a Qualifying offer, it’s made to a player who is about to be a free agent in order to make him a restricted free agent. The qualifying offer is only a one year deal, which the player can take right when he’s offered, or he may still entertain offers from other teams and sign and offer sheet which gives the old team seven days to match, if this offer is more than the qualifying offer, which is the case almost all the time. If the player takes the qualifying offer, he becomes an unrestricted free agent the following season.
The Wizards don’t have to give Yi a qualifying offer if they don’t want to, and I think they’re leaning toward not doing that.
I haven't been impressed with Yi
His hands are soft and he drops a lot of passes. He also likes to shoot too much and his shoot is weak. On a positive note, he has good size and has shown some improvement.
This is year 1
for Yi and year 4 for McGee who doesn’t have a clue, but I agree with you Yi does have good size and can exploit mismatches if the strategy is served correctly!
he had 3 full seasons as a starter and was given
Every opportunity as a high draft pick…but is a skilled 7ft’er on his 3rd team in 3yrs. That sums him up well, not a bad player…but I doubt he showed enough to change the perceptions which landed him here in the 1st place. Guessing EG will let him go

I can't say Yi has done much but...
I’ve been rooting for him. After watching Javale look like an idiot I’d like to see him get more time. It seems like it takes him to a while to get in a a groove again after coming off these injuries and I think its hard for him to come in after not playing consistent minutes, but to his credit the guy hustles and actually has some toughness to him.
I hope we resign him I think he can be productive if given more minutes and his jumper is falling.
Yi will cost the Wiz 5.4 mil to keep him
That will make him the 4th highest paid player on the team as of this moment. I don’t see the team paying him this kind of money to stay.
That's his qualifying offer
We could allow him to become an unrestricted free agent and then try to re-sign him for less on the unrestricted free agent market.
They should take that $5.4mil QO and try to apply it to more promising young talent
My Wizards FA list (Restricted):
Top Tier: Marc Gasol, DeAndre Jordan*
Other: Wilson Chandler*, Luc Richard Mbah A Moute*, Aaron Afflalo*, Jeff
Green*, Earl Clark, Shannon Brown, JR Smith, Kyrylo Fesenko, Carl Landry
I think Yi’s $5.4mil QO could be more reasonably applied to some of these names.
