Jamison signs four-year deal: The Wizards achieved a major free agency goal Monday when two-time All-Star forward Antawn Jamison signed a four-year, $50 million contract. The deal does more than retain the team's co-captain and leading scorer from last season: It serves as an expensive piece of bait to lure Gilbert Arenas, who had said he would not return unless the team also kept his longtime friend.

Fantasy Analysis
Two words describe Jamison above all others: steady and reliable. The 32-year-old strong locker room leader has averaged at least 19.6 points and 7.6 rebounds each year since his arrival in Washington 2004. Last season was arguably the best in his 10-year NBA career - 21.4 points and a career-high 10.2 rebounds - as he and Caron Butler helped lead the Wizards to a fourth consecutive playoff berth while Arenas was injured.
