Would be fun as hell to watch..lol


pardon the interruption... but still skeptical of the no juice in bynum's knees and also knowing BC who is so much on character player don't think he would go for arenas...
if my statements make no sense to you, you're probably not the only one and yes I may have been drinking ^#(^

I like Arenas, but what about Avery Bradley!? I think he's on top of the Raptors draft board.. So it's hard to imagine them trading for Arenas (though it'd be nice)

Don't want Gilbert. Not even for Hedo.

Whenever people suggest Iggy and Arenas on the Raps I think of this:

http://www.gilbertology.net/2007/12/13/ ... s-opinion/

Gilbert Arenas wrote:Now after A.I. left, you were supposed to be that No. 1 guy, but, the way he plays the game, he doesn’t have that. He’s not that type of player. He’s a second guy. An assistant coach told me a great story about him. When he was in Arizona, he said he was like 9-for-11 from the field and he apologized to the team for shooting 11 shots. From that day on, I just called him Scottie Pippen. He’s a Scottie Pippen type of player. A great, overall player. He’s your glue player. You need a superstar and then you need him. So $12 million is good for you. Nothing more and nothing less. Be happy with the $12 million.

He said Washington (that's where the show is filmed) should pursue that deal.

I think we'll end up getting a Corey Maggette / Boris Diaw type for Hedo +

Only if Calderon is part of the deal as well. Arenas' contract is huge!

I like it. I don't know how good he can still be, but he's certainly an exciting player to watch if he's right. I'd much rather watch him dribble down the clock then shoot instead of Hedo...

I hope it's Jose+Hedo... taking on ~$40 million in extra salary by just giving up Hedo+expirings would be pretty bad (unless we can move Jose in a separate deal). If we do get Arenas, I'd want to move him to SG. If we end up getting Bynum for Bosh in a s&t, we could look like this:

Bynum/Amir
Bargs/Dorsey/Reggie
DD/Weems
Arenas/Belinelli
Jack/Banks

+ #13.

A team where you wouldn't be surprised if they made the playoffs, or if they win the lottery. In any case, we're a lot younger, more balanced, better interior D, better backcourt production. We certainly could do a lot worse.

If Calderon isnt included, I'll pass. Unless he is dumped through some other trade.

Is Gil even allowed out of the country? Bringing in the guy who threatened his teammate with a gun in the locker room probably goes against BC's "character guy" philosophy.
