It's just a rumor for the time being. However, Arenas has worked out at the Clippers facility over the course of the summer. He's also Barnes' brother-in-law and a close friend of Paul's.

If he could still play he wouldn't be a bad pickup, having extra talent on a roster can never hurt, particularly for your third or fourth guard off the bench.

I'd rather have him out there than Wayns.

OOOHHH.

There maybe a conflict of interest with Jammy Crawf coming off the bench. Gilbert also seems like the type to pull an Iverson and make noise in the media about "letting him compete for starter minutes" because, MORE THAN LIKELY, he's gonna kill Redick and Crawford in practice.

but if there wasn't that conflict...id bring him in...as long as he shut the hell up and played off chris paul.
the last thing I'm interested in seeing is him going one on one trying to be old gilbert.

3 and D (lol, defense...ok)
ur one on one plays come in transition/ secondary breaks.

Would be a solid third point guard, if he can keep his ego in check like Quake said.

Just wish we would add some defenders though, or invite some at least. I'd love Jumpin' James to get an invite :D

Would be a nice addition I think Wayns should spend a year in d league to tone up skills.
