The Washington Wizards have played their worst basketball of the season over the past month.

While teams like the Atlanta Hawks, Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers have emerged as the East’s elite, the Wizards have lost 10 of their last 12 and have dropped five straight games, including a 20-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Like many of you, I’ve wondered what the Wizards could do in order end this long, miserable losing streak. Some have questioned the coaching staff, while others have criticized the front office for putting the roster together. Those complaints are certainly warranted, but at this point in the season, I wouldn’t expect a major coaching or front office change.

So, that leaves us with just minor roster tweaks.

The Washington Wizards have one roster spot open after deciding to waive guard Glen Rice Jr.

Funnily enough, the Wizards could use a shooting guard to give them a spark off the bench. Instead, they have an empty roster spot. I digress.

There have been reports about the Wizards potentially adding a free agent before the start of the NBA Playoffs. Many of these names, including Will Bynum and Bobby Brown, won’t make a tremendous difference, but it’s a difference nonetheless.

But, should the Wizards make a final roster move? Should they add a free agent? Take a look at the list of free agents, assuming Ray Allen remains retired, and decide for yourself:

In my opinion, the time to add another rotation player is over. The NBA Trade Deadline was a perfect time for the Wizards to acquire another scorer, but instead, Washington opted to make a rather insignificant move by acquiring Ramon Sessions from the Sacramento Kings.

A player like Jordan Crawford could certainly make a difference for Washington, given their need for a combo-guard and someone that could create their own shot, but that bridge is unfortunately burned and you’ll never see #Steezus don a Wizards uniform again.

Ask yourself this question: Could any of the players listed even crack Washington’s rotation right now? If the answer is no, then the Wizards should probably just stay put and wait for Bradley Beal to get healthy.

It’s disappointing to think that the Wizards didn’t do enough prior to the NBA Trade Deadline, but that’s where we currently stand. Adding a player on a 10-day contract would help in theory, but it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Rasual Butler and Martell Webster don’t deserve significant playing time, but with Paul Pierce hurt, Otto Porter is virtually the only other small forward on Washington’s roster that’s capable of producing, albeit inconsistently. The time for the Wizards to add another player has passed and now they’re stuck with a weak, depleted roster.

Buyouts could happen, so it’s possible for the Washington Wizards to acquire a player that’s capable of making a difference. But as of right now, is the free agency pool deep enough for the Wizards to even consider signing a player?

Should the Wizards Sign Another Player? Yes, there is a free agent that could help

No, the time for them to add a player has passed View Results
