Change in Team Outlook: -1.0 ppg, +6.1 rpg, and -1.6 apg.
Incoming Players
Caron Butler
6-7 SF from Connecticut
16.9 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 2.3 apg in 39.4 minutes

9.8 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 0.4 apg in 32.9 minutes
DeShawn Stevenson

2.2 ppg, 1.6 rpg, 1.1 apg in 15.4 minutes
Outgoing Players

6-7 SF from Wake Forest

Drew Gooden
6-9 PF from Kansas
8.9 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 0.6 apg in 22.4 minutes
Jose Barea
6-0 PG from Northeastern
8.5 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 3.4 apg in 21.9 minutes
##############################

We get Butler, Haywood and Stevenson at the price of JJ, Josh, and Gooden. We obviously get arguably the two best players in the deal, either or both of which are starters for us (depending on Damp's health) and a guy in Stevenson who can hit threes and would get open looks when playing next to Dirk and Kidd. If he doesn't earn many minutes, at least he's off the books this summer.

This brings Washington's cap figure at about $67.06M give or take (estimating Arenas' forfeiture of his salary being around $9.5M), which would put them below the luxury tax line of $69.92M, with around $16M in expiring deals to give them flexibility this offseason.
