Mike Bibby and the Washington Wizards have agreed to terms on a buyout, acco
rding to league sources.
Bibby
In a stunning move, Bibby, whom the Wizards acquired from Atlanta last week
in a trade for Kirk Hinrich, gave up his entire salary for next season, sour
ces said. The 32-year-old point guard had one year and $6.2 million left on
his deal.
Bibby is eager to sign with a title-contending team after clearing waivers,
and sources say the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat and Portland Trail Blazers ar
e interested in him.
For Washington, the deal is a sweetheart one that will knock next season's p
ayroll down to roughly $38 million, which is $20 million below the current s
alary cap.
