Chucky Atkins is no longer a Wizard, because they payed him the rest of the money they owe him.

He's mighty welcome back in Detroit, although i think he wants to be a starter somewhere, or get some more PT.

Perhaps Memphis, hell Lakers could use his services.

I think a team that needs a shooter will pick him up. He isn't a great passer, but can nail a couple of outside shots and mid rangers every game.

Chucky Atkins sucks. Period. Undersized, can't pass, can't play defence, and is said to be very arrogant.

He'd be a great fit in Denver or Memphis. Though I don't know how George Karl could fit in another guard, they could definetly use his outside shooting.

Also, Miami would be a good fit too. The Heat could use some 3pt shooting off the bench.

A team that wants a veteran player but doesn't necessary run an offense that needs the pg to be a playmakers or the primary ballhandler, hmm.

wtf? Chucky Atkins is an NBA player, not Europe or CBA. If Sasha Vujacic can play in the NBA then Atkins certainly can.

Vujacic can actually play D. Chucky can't.

I'm not a big fan of him, but I'll go Jae on you:
http://www.nba.com/playerfile/sasha_vujacic/index.html

He's playing 18.6 minutes per game and is the first guard off the bench for the Lakers. He won't score much, but with time he'll make a great shooter off the bench, plus he has legit playmaking abilities and can play pesky defence.
