The Washington Wizards are in talks with the Dallas Mavericks about a potential sign-and-trade deal that would land forward/center DeJuan Blair with the Wizards, according to sources close to the process.
The Wizards have expressed strong interest in the free agent and are trying to come to terms with Blair on a new contract before the Mavericks have to renounce their rights to Blair to make salary-cap space for the new players they're signing.
