Arenas mentioned that eight of his teammates will be free agents this summer. "I converted my game to try to get people involved, but at the end of the day, to be honest, this is the same team since three years ago," he said. "Do I have to go in attack mode like I was two years ago to get us over this hump? I hope not...I think the only person who actually had to sacrifice is me. Everybody else can just play their game." It remains to be seen whether this diatribe awakens the Wizards or makes things even worse.

It's unwise to read too much into this, as the Wizards were behind by 12 at halftime and 22 after three quarters. Haywood is averaging 34 minutes per game this season.

Butler's struggles continue and he hasn't been much of a factor this season for the equally-struggling Wizards. The most noteable change (probably the result of Flip Saunders' system) is his complete drop-off in assists -- from 4.3 last season to 1.2 this season.

That's not an official diagnosis and Miller is due to have an MRI in D.C., but fantasy owners should prepare to be without him for a stretch. DeShawn Stevenson could move into the starting lineup, but Randy Foye stands to gain the most from a fantasy perspective.

There is simply too much competition for minutes at SG for Young to have fantasy value, as this roster tweak proves. He was the only player to have appeared in all 82 games last season, when Washington was ravaged by injuries.

Miller, who was already dealing with an ailing shoulder, hurt himself in a collision with Gilbert Arenas. Randy Foye should play significantly more minutes while Miller is sidelined.
