Wizards Note: Though rumors continue to swirl about a possible trade that would send (Mike) James and (Etan) Thomas as part of a package for former Wizard Larry Hughes prior to the Feb. 19 trade deadline, a league source familiar with the situation said it likely will not happen.
In October, the Wizards and Bulls were close to agreeing to a deal that would have swapped Hughes for Thomas and Antonio Daniels, who was later traded to New Orleans, but that deal fell apart when Hughes was injured.

The contracts do work. James's contract expires this year, Thomas's expires next year, so the Wizards would actually be the team assuming additional salary in this proposal.
