My god... 2010
pg Arenas
sg Chandler
sf Lebron
pf Gallo
c Lee
If Hill really plays to his size... that is a 6'10 long athletic banger who could give you size and 30 minutes off the bench than thats a 60 win team coached by MDA. With Arena's and Gallo's shooting (Chandler and Lee have pretty good range too) there is no way to defend that team.

Or we can throw money at Jordan Farmer, or bring back Duhon.

This city would embrace and love Arenas. Sorry... but Gilbert's baggage doesnt sniff Sprewell's and he was one of the most popular Knicks. Ever

he has never played as a typical pg, and he plays ZERO d. he is a ball hog sg, who masquerades as a pg.

Also could you perhaps go younger and try to get a guy like Monta Ellis instead and at least he'd be a better fit for the future if you didn't get Lebron.

Ballhogging 40% chucking mess of an offense while playing "pranks" that teammates have been tired of for years and have now put a felony on your record is "Offensive Prowess that can make this team really dangerous."

???????

My god man what world are we living in here. Yeah, he is offensive. In many ways. As in he's a chucking idiot that doesn't win cause he screws up teams with his chucking. Dangerous? Yeah. Dangerous alright. He thinks it's cool to play with guns. Then mock everyone who thinks it's not right!

Jeez!!!!!!!

I can't begin to understand where some of you stand when you make these observations!

Jeffries and Curry become very attractive February 2011 trade assets if needed - OR - give us massive 2011 cap space.

This on top of course our fairy tale 2010 offseason of landing LeBron and NOT overpaying for Lee to just pay someone for the sake of paying someone - but even so - it doesnt touch 2011.

So you land LeBron in 2010. And use your capspace in 2011 to surround him with a great team. This is FAR better than grabbing Arenas to shoot 40%, play jokes on teammates with guns or by crapping in their shoes, blogging worse than a 7 year old, and ballhogging so badly that any other good player you have never sees the ball.

NO!!!!!!!

Arenas was never a great player. He had some high point outbursts. He had some good months. But overall the guy was as bad as Crawford was in NY. Just add 10FTs per game and that's where you get his PPG over Crawford's. Not to mention his disastrous attitude!

NO THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Without LeBron though, Arenas would just tie up our 2011 cap space for another 2 years for a flawed SG.

Why? So he can break plays and go Hibachi and chuck at 40-43% while LeBron gives that "why did you do that" look?

Come'on.

Arenas is one of the most overrated players of the past few years.

He's a mental case gunner that can't win ****.

Anyone really look over his game logs in depth?

Give it a shot and come back and tell me this guy is worth it.

If you do and say it's worth it then you don't want to win games or do more than make the 1st round of the playoffs.

EVERY SINGLE FAN of EVERY SINGLE TEAM should think *PASS* when the topic is Gilbert Arenass.

Agree completely just wanted to add that Crawford had far better attitude and was very coachable. I would rather have him back than have Arenas, but I don't want either of them especially not Agent Zero.

desperation blurs people's viewpoints... we've sucked so bad for so long that some guys are ready to jump on anything that comes our way & proclaim him as our savior... we saw the same excitement when we went & got Stephon Marbury & Zach Randolph... i was a part of the 1st bandwagon, really felt Marbs could help improve this team... obvious learned my lesson since... getting Zach was a stupid idea from the very beginning.

Im predicting Arenas to Golden State after his contract is voided. Pleading to the felony is going to end up with that contract being voided.

he's not a team cancer in the Marbury mold, but he obviously rubs some people the wrong way on his team... he had a past beef w/Caron Butler & tried to single him out as not being a leader on the Wizards... Butler didn't appreciate that comment & they had a talk about it... & now this latest thing w/Crittenton... if that's how Arenas thinks a leader should act, he needs to get a serious reality check.

dont forget the poop shoe with blatche!!! ignoring his coach (jordan)!! blaming the team for not trying hard enough to keep him from ignoring the doctors desire for him to rest and not come back too fast from knee surgeries!!!!
