After losing six of their last eight games, it’s clear that the Washington Wizards must improve their roster if they want to make a run in the NBA Playoffs.

While the starting five has produced, the second unit has left much to be desired. Reports have indicated that Washington is still interested in signing Ray Allen, but it might be time to move on from the future Hall-of-Famer.

With that said, the Wizards seem to have their eyes set on a number of players, including Jameer Nelson of the Denver Nuggets:

The Wizards seemingly have trouble finding a backup guard every season. In fact, they were close to trading for Jameer Nelson last season, but landed a deal with the Nuggets for veteran Andre Miller.

Before joining the Nuggets, Jameer Nelson’s numbers took a dramatic dip during his short stint with the Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics. The former All-Star point guard has increased his shooting percentages since joining the Nuggets, but he hasn’t been stellar.

At this point, I don’t know how much Jameer Nelson has left to offer. The 33-year-old point guard has averaged slightly over 9 points per game on 41 percent shooting. Still, he’d give Washington a scoring spark off the bench that they desperately need.

But, what would the Wizards have to give up for Nelson? If I had to guess, they would likely include a second round draft pick. DeJuan Blair could also possibly be included in the deal, given the lack of playing time he’s gotten since the start of the season.

The Wizards have to find another player that could create offense for himself. I don’t know if Jameer Nelson is the answer, but he’d certainly be an upgrade over what the Wizards have coming off the bench now. Andre Miller has struggled recently, Garrett Temple isn’t a terrific offensive player, and Kevin Seraphin is the only legitimate threat Washington has off the bench.

However, other players will become available as the trade deadline passes. Jose Calderon, Randy Foye, Gary Neal, and Marcus Thornton were all rumored to be available.

Washington has recognized their need for a backup guard. Now it’s time to find one. Will Jameer Nelson be wearing a Wizards jersey soon? We’ll just have to wait and see.
