The Washington Wizards have released veteran point guard Mike Bibby. He was recently acquired in a trade with the Atlanta Hawks.
He struggled during his short-lived tenure with the Wizards. He was brought in to be a veteran presence for the young team.
“Mike is a true professional, and we appreciate everything he has done for our team,” Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said. “We wish him all the best in his future endeavors and know that he will continue to be a valuable asset to any team he plays for.”

If his recent performances are any indication, then he will have limited teams interested in his services. A team may be interested in signing him for his veteran leadership off the bench than his lack thereof scoring output.
The Wizards are going to focus the rest of their season on getting an extra look at their young talent. This move was a necessary transaction for the team to be competitive again in the future.
