Eddie House has agreed to rejoin the Miami heat, signing a 2 year contract extension worth 2.8 million dollars, and has a second year player option. He will be contending for a spot off the bench supporting the cast of the Wade, Bosh, and LBJ show this coming season.

Basketball betting star, Josh Howard has agreed to a one year contract with the Washington Wizards. Acquired in a seven player trade with the Mavericks in February he torn a ligament in his knee. His March surgery will likely keep him side lined for six to eight months.

Rasual Butler has resigned with the the Los Angeles Clippers. Coming off a year of career highs he should be an excellent mainstay in their line up. He was acquired from New Orleans last august in return for a conditional second round pick in the draft.

Roger Mason, who has spent the last two years in San Antonio may find himself in Portland, Chicago, or New York this years, as all three have expressed interest in signing the veteran guard.

Nine year guard Earl Watson seems headed to either the east or west coast as both the Nets and the Lakers have expressed interest in his services.

Kyrylo Fesenko has spent all three years of his NBA career in Utah and looks to be staying there this year.

Anthony Morrow remains a free agent, with many teams including the Spurs, Lakers, Celtics, and Trailblazers attempting to land one of the biggest names left in free agency.

The Washington Wizards, sport betting favorites, were the winners of the lottery for the 2010 NBA Draft. If any team needed this sort of a boost, it was probably them.

Last season was full of craziness in the Wizards organization. Their star player, Gilbert Arenas, was charged with gun possession in the locker room and ended up with a suspension that took him out for the rest of the season.

Their other star caliber players, Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison, were dealt during the season to other teams that were contending for the NBA title. They did receive promising compensation in the form of Josh Howard. Unfortunately, Josh Howard sustained a season ending injury just four games into his stay at Washington.

With all of that having taken place, the Wizards needed a boost. John Wall, the point guard out of Kentucky, is just what the Wizards are looking for. Wall is an athlete that can handle the ball with the best of them. His speed burst and vertical leap give him the ability to get to the rim on nearly every play. He was only a freshman last year at Kentucky, but he demonstrated the ability to take over games in stretches. His court vision is also above average for a scoring point guard. The only questions for him will be surrounding his jump shot. He never relied too heavily on it at Kentucky.

Wall will join Andray Blatche in Washington. Blatche really broke out last season after the team crumbled around him. With John Wall joining a young player in Blatche, the Wizards have the opportunity to build around a young core of talent.
