Wizards closing in on a DP

It is my understanding that the Wizards either have come to terms or are close to finalizing terms with a player that will become the team's second DP in history. He is an attacking player with experience at a couple of the largest clubs.

Claudio Lopez was the first DP in Wizards history. Lopez signed with the Wizards in 2008 and renegotiated his contract down to just below DP salary in 2009. The Wizards and Lopez failed to come to terms for the 2010 season and he is now with Colorado.

The Wizards are also close to signing another player that is not in the DP range.
