Arenas wouldn't even bring in more than the $17M he is owed, it wouldn't be close to being "minimum."RRT wrote:Another thing that's probably less concern for you guys but is a business move is the fact that Arenas is one of most recognized names in NBA, just off merchandise and getting him here would do a lot for Cleveland brand would give us a huge financial boost, where actual money spent on him would be minimum in comparison.

But anyway, this is definitely a move that would restrict our already bleak future even more and doesn't really fill any needs. Plus he's an immature moron with tons of injury baggage. Maybe as a last resort for a S&T'd Wally or something if absolutely nothing else pans out....but other than that, no thanks.

When Washington was going through their "firesale" they blogs whether Wizards would try to league to revoke Gilberts contract, If they didnt or couldn't what would they do? Most articles that wrote about it believed that any team with cap that missed out on the big 2010 free agents would rather wait for Carmelo in 2011. The teams that were strapped wouldnt unless they were contenders because he would be a big bite for the future. Out of the elite or near elite teams Orlando was the only team believed to be willing to take his baggage especially because Vince's contract has less time a slightly less money but has the extra bigs that Wizards want.
When Thorpe was asked, he never denied going after him, he just said they are focusing on this year. It wasnt until Wizards stated that they wanted to build around Gilbert and Blatche that the rumors died down.
But I think we can definately go after him but I am not certain that they do it for just epirings...let alone them adding assets.
Having Gilbert at the 2 gives Mo even more freedom to play off-ball and gives the Cavs a three headed monster to run the offense and rediculously difficult time guarding both Lebron or Gilbert Mo and Jamison spreading the floor. Plus remember that Gilbert can play passing lanes and rebounded well... always avg close to 2 stls and 4.5 rebs. Only question is... Can he play in a system?
