Do you think Arenas will return for last 10 games? With a chance to get nb.1 draft pick how stupid would it be to get 2-3 more wins with Arenas and miss on lets say Griffin.

Do you think management is smart enough to tel Arenas not to return?

I think it has more to do with Arenas then anything.. To have to sit injured and watch your team fall to the 1 pick is hard to swallow

IBTM, but, I don't think his return will damage the tank more than marginally, if at all.

(1) I saw mention that he's only playing home games, and his minutes will be pretty severely limited. So at most he might affect the outcome in 2-3 games.

(2) Even if the Wizards win 2-3 more than they would have, the impact on the standings is going to be marginal. I think the Wizards are locked in to at least the bottom 3-4 at this point, and the chances they could snag the worst record from the Kings even without Arenas are not really good.

(3) Worst record only gets you a 1 in 4 chance at Blake anyway. Of course the more ping pong balls the better, but the luck aspect of this is so significant that going out of your way to worst record just guarantees you a top 3 pick. After Blake, the value of the top prospects drops significantly.

It's not about the ping-pong balls, it's about ensuring that we do not go down in the record books for never having won a division game IMO. We will have already broken our own dubious record of most 3-pointers allowed in a season.

IBTL, I prefer IBTL to IBTM
