Wizards Working To Move Blatche

The Wizards are actively looking to move power forward Andray Blatche, according to Marc Stein in his Weekend Dime.  Washington has attempted to initiate a Blatche for Tyrus Thomas swap with the Bobcats.  Stein adds that ideally, the Wizards would get Boris Diaw and his expiring deal in return, but Charlotte is unlikely to take on Blatche's salary without sending Thomas and his similar sized deal to Washington. 

After averaging 16.8 PPG and 8.3 RPG in 2011,  Blatche has been a disappointment in 2012, averaging only 10.3 PPG and 7.1 RPG while shooting a paltry 38% from the field.  Blatche has three years, and nearly $23MM remaining on a contact extension he signed in September of 2010.
