Masrc J. Spears of the Denver POst reports: The Washington Wizards might be considering buying former Denver Nugget George McCloud out of his contract.
The Nuggets gave the Wizards McCloud and $500,000 on Thursday in exchange for point guard Chris Whitney. McCloud said he would meet with Wizards officials this morning in Washington.
The Wizards reportedly are considering buying McCloud out of the final year and $2.6 million of his contract. McCloud would lose a portion of his salary if he were bought out.
"We'll get to see (today) what they are saying face to face," McCloud said Sunday. "The likelihood of me taking a buyout is 99 percent that I won't."
Wizards officials have said only that they will meet with McCloud today. NBA rosters must be set by 4 p.m. MST on Tuesday. Washington must trim its roster from 17 to a maximum 15. Its bubble players include McCloud, swingman Bobby Simmons, forward Brian Cardinal and injured center Ratko Varda. The Wizards reportedly are learning toward keeping Simmons and Cardinal.
While, McCloud could get dealt in a one-for-one player deal, that is unlikely.
Sam Wyche of the Washington Post reports that league sources have said that several teams have interest in McCloud if Washington waives him.
