And we have no doubt you'll grow to understand why so many in D.C. consider him one of their, if not their single most, favorite basketball player in the history of the game. Forget all that you've read in the media and go meet the dude. He's as cool as they come. Beat Miami!!!
The love for Arenas on the Wiz board is a complete opposite of the general disdain on this board for the performances of the departing Lewis and Carter - this says a lot for quality of the player we are acquiring (especially considering the problems he had in Washington) This plus the tremendous talent of JR makes me very optimistic.
Whatever they are saying now don't be surprised if down the road Nelson is coming off the bench and this would not be a bad thing should it prove out!
