Instead, the Serbian found himself being inked to a two-way deal with the Wizards this offseason after failing to prove to the team's decision makers that he was worthy of a standard roster spot."
"Sitting at the bottom of the NBA standings for yet another year, Washington has some tough decisions to make as the trade deadline in February slowly approaches.
