Andray Blatche, a 24-year-old power forward who has spent his entire five-year career in Washington, has signed a three-year extension worth roughly $28 million to stay with the Wizards, reports the Washington Post's Michael Lee. The deal puts Blatche under contract through the 2014-15 season, and gives him roughly $35 million over the life of the deal. (See below for some weird quirks with how this ought to be described.)Blatche had been signed through 2011-12, which makes the timing of the extension quite surprising. Blatche, a second-round pick straight from high school in 2005, played sparingly on his initial two-year contract. But in those spare minutes and on the practice floor, the Wizards liked what they saw and sewed Blatche up with a five-year, $15 million deal in 2007.
