Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld announced today that the team has signed forward/center Andray Blatche to a contract extension and has exercised its fourth-year option on center JaVale McGee.  Per team policy, terms of the contracts were not released.

?Andray and JaVale are two pieces that we feel can solidify our frontcourt for years to come and extending their contracts certainly fits in with our long-term plan of rebuilding this team with a core of young, talented players,? said Grunfeld.  ?Both players performed very well over the second half of last season and we?re confident that they will continue to develop and build on the potential and promise that they have shown throughout the beginning stages of their careers.?
