Washington Wizards Should Trade for Backup Point Guard Jimmer Fredette (Yahoo Contributor...

[Yahoo! Sports - NBA -]

COMMENTARY | Jimmer Fredette of the Sacramento Kings may be the backup point guard the Washington Wizards so desperately need.

Garrett Temple was a King? Hrm...

Temple then signed a 10-day contract with the Sacramento Kings on March 3, 2010,[4] After that contract expired on March 13, 2010, he signed a 10-day contract with the San Antonio Spurs
