Actually that makes no sense at all.

Arenas and James both need to be primary ballhandlers, and neither are great playing off the ball. Furthermore, I don't think Arenas has the mentality yet to be a #2.

Jamison would be perfect for them though.

I think he would be a nice fit in Philly, though I'm sure there's plenty of Sixers fans that disagree.

I think they'd be great together. Cleveland needs another playmaker besides Lebron and Gilbert is one of the best shooting PG/SG out there. He is as deadly as anyone at catch and shoot.

Giltbert Arenas is the new Allen Iverson and I'm not saying thats a good thing.

Do you *watch* how Arenas plays? He is a great shooter, but he gets his shots OFF THE DRIBBLE, he doesn't "catch and shoot".

Ask Coach K how good Arenas is at being nothing more than a spot-up shooter.

#3 Draft Choice (OJ Mayo), Antoine Walker (expiring filler), Boston's 09 first, and both 2nd rounder this year (#31 & #34)

FOR

Gilbert Arenas.

Washington gets lots of value for a guy that may not even sign with them and leave for nothing.

Wolves give up potential stardom in OJ Mayo but get proven all star PG of future (only 26).


Minnesota should say no to that deal. They are a rebuilding team and can use the #3 pick. No need to trade for a guy who will also take up cap space.

Arenas, while good, won't be enough to make them contenders.

I really do want him on the Magic. 2nd Option who can score like crazy. We will probably go to the Championship with Dwight, Lewis, Arenas

Gilbert,T-Mac and Yao will be the best 3-some in the NBA.

they would be the most injured trio. i also saw someone say toronto which also doesn't make any sense.

i think he would be awesome on the magic. dwight is a great second option and hedo/rashard aren't top tier second options, but are great third options. just imagine the space they could make for dwight with gil/rashard/hedo patrolling the perimeter.

they will be right around the cap, but no good contracts to get rid of for a potential S&T. if someone has any realistic ideas on how to get them there i would appreciate hearing it.

We would probably get rid of Hedo for a nice defensive 2 gaurd who can spot up and knock down the open J.
