he could play backcourt wit wade

draft beasley get arenas
arenas
wade
beasley
marion
blount

do think they have the no. 1 pick that you are sure that they can get beasley??? think of it dumbo! and remember that marions contract is at 17million this season, wade is at 15million mac may maybe for this season... and blount is at 8million... and who else have more dollars? and do you think miami will offer arenas what he's asking for which is max contract? or they will offer him at least 15 million a year? i dont think so!

thats 15+17+15+8 ===== 55million... four players for the CAP? i dont think so again... who else is under contract... there is no way they can get arenas except on sign and trade with the number 2 pick + players..

Still think the Wizards would be crazy to let this guy. he's a prolific scorer and closer of games that every teams need.

He's going to need to back off that number if he wants them to be able to keep Jamison and make other moves to improve.

Dear Ernie Grunfeld,

Please don't pony up 15 mill for 5 years for brokedown Gilbert! He's a less healthy, less tatt'ed up version of AI. either sign and trade him to the heat for the #2 pick to get Beasley or re up Jamison, sign TJ Ford and take the coin you have left and get a #4 who can get 10+ boards, 2 blocks and 8-12 points. If Wiz could offer out to Boozer or Smith from the Hawks w/ Brokedown's salary slot they would be a much better team. Last 2 years proved having a pass first PG is what the wizards need more than Brokedown.

I hate to say this but lets not hope that he's a Sprewell in the making

he's not spreewell, he's just a little bit stupid...........

- not for opting out- that may or may not be a good move-

he wont get the money he is looking for.
he wont end up with any moe then $10mil a year over 5 years

Gilbert Arenas is good for two things, taking up salary cap space and taking ill-advised shots. If you're goal is winning a championship, Gilbert Arenas is not the player you want.

i think he'll get ever bit that he is looking for and the wizards will probably pay it.

I am sure he can be a singer if it does not work out...lol. good player but no common sense... hurts a team with his lack of any maturity or common sense. I am sure somebody will take the risk..

I used to really admire this guy but clearly he has made some weird decisions and comments.. he can play if healthy.

Worst time ever to get hurt though. He better be healthy. Last time I remember anyone bringing in a player who "just got healthy" was Orlando with Grant Hill.

Dude can't get a $120 million contract and expect the Wiz to resign Jamison too. If he takes less, they can resign Jamison and maybe add some frontcourt depth, which is where they are lacking. Do these dudes want to win in the NBA anymore, or just get ridiculous money? Why can't he accept something like a 5 yr- 80 million deal. He would still be making 26 mil a year and they could sign other players.

I'd love to see the Raptors sign this guy and get rid of TJ Ford.

Minnesota? No?

mdemby-
I think your #'s are a little off......

80 mil / 5yrs = 16 mil/yr
