The Wizards have dealt 24-year old guard Jordan Crawford to the Boston Celtics for 30-year old SG/SF Leandro Barbosa.  Crawford played in 43 games (12 starts) for the Wizards this year and he averaged 26.2 minutes, 13.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.  He played in 133 games (62 starts) in his three years with the Wizards and he averaged 28.2 minutes, 14.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.  The Wizards must have really wanted to deal Crawford, as Leandro Barbosa is out for the rest of the 2012-13 season due to a torn ACL.

UPDATE:  The Wizards are also getting 34-year old center Jason Collins from the Celtics.  Collins played in 32 games (7 starts) for the Celtics this year and he averaged 10.3 minutes, 1.2 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game.  He is only shooting 34.8% from the floor so far this year.  Collins has now played in 707 games (474 starts) in his first 12 years in the NBA and he is averaging 20.9 minutes, 3.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game.

The Wizards have waived 23-year old point guard Shelvin Mack. Mack played in 7 games (2 starts) for the Wizards this year and and he averaged 20.1 minutes, 5.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. He only shot 40% from the floor, 30.8% from three point range and 50% from the free throw line this year for the Wizards. Mack played in 71 games (2 starts) in his two years with the Wizards and he averaged 13.0 minutes, 3.8 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. This isn’t much of a loss for the Wizards moving forward.

The Wizards have called up 26-year old SG Garrett Temple from the D-League. Temple last played in the NBA in 2010-11 with the Bobcats, Bucks and Spurs. He has played in 51 games (4 starts) in his first two years in the NBA and he is averaging 11.1 minutes, 3.8 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. Temple is only shooting 37.9% from the floor, 31.1% from three point range and 62.7% from the free throw line so far in his career and that is pretty awful.

The Washington Wizards have signed 23-year old guard Shelvin Mack. Mack played in 64 games (0 starts) as a rookie for the Wizards last year and he averaged 12.2 minutes, 3.6 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. He shot 40% from the floor, 28.6% from three point range and 71.2% from the free throw line this year. The Wizards hope that Mack can give them a spark off the bench as they are desperate for help at point guard.

The Wizards have waived 31-year old center Earl Barron. Barron played in 11 games (1 start) for the Wizards this year and he averaged 11.1 minutes, 2.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. He only shot 35.1% from the floor, which is awful for a center. Barron has now played in 123 games (29 starts) in his first seven years in the NBA and he is averaging 14.7 minutes, 4.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. This is no loss for the Wizards.

The Wizards have waived 27-year old point guard Shaun Livingston. He played in 17 games (4 starts) for the Wizards this year and he averaged 18.8 minutes, 3.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. He was only shooting 36.4% from the floor at the time he was let go by the Wizards. Livingston has now played in 341 games (110 starts) in his first 8 years in the NBA and he is averaging 22.4 minutes, 6.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. This isn’t much of a loss for the Wizards as Livingston didn’t take advantage of the opportunity that the team gave him.

The Wizards have signed 27-year old point guard Shaun Livingston. Livingston played in 58 games (27 starts) for the Bucks last year and he averaged 18.8 minutes, 5.5 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. He has now played in 324 games (106 starts) in his first seven years in the NBA and he is averaging 22.6 minutes, 6.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Livingston played for the Wizards in 2009-10, appearing in 26 games (18 starts) in which he averaged 25.6 minutes, 9.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. This was a good signing for the Wizards as Livingston is a huge upgrade over Jannero Pargo.

The Wizards have waived 33-year old point guard Jannero Pargo. Pargo played in 7 games (0 starts) for the Wizards this year and he averaged 14.6 minutes, 3.0 points, 0.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. He only shot 25% from the floor (8 for 32) and 15% from three point range (3 for 20) for the Wizards. This is no loss for the Wizards moving forward.

The Wizards have waived 23-year old guard Shelvin Mack. Mack played in 64 games (0 starts) as a rookie for the Wizards last year and he averaged 12.2 minutes, 3.6 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. This was a little bit of a surprise to me due to the fact that John Wall is going to miss a huge chuck of the early season for the Wizards due to injury. I think Mack will hook on with another team at some point this year.

The Wizards have signed 33-year old guard Jannero Pargo to a 1-year deal. Pargo played in 50 games (0 starts) for the Hawks last year and he averaged 13.4 minutes, 5.6 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. He has now played in 429 games (18 starts) in his first 8 years in the NBA and he is averaging 15.4 minutes, 6.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. Pargo will help the Wizards off the bench as he can play both guard spots.
