    Report: Wizards Ready To Dump Arenas, Will Consider Buyout

    Snippet-
     Former Washington Times reporter John Mitchell, who writes for TheGrio.com, indicates the Wizards are committed to removing Gilbert Arenas from the roster before next season.

    According to a source, the team will "definitely consider buying out" Arenas' contract if he cannot be traded.

    The Wizards will select John Wall with the first overall pick and, according to two league sources with knowledge of the team's future plans, will do everything in their power to make sure that Wall is never in the same locker room as Arenas.

    If Washington bought him out, would you take a risk on Gilbert and sign him for less than the mid-level exception?

    Pros-
    Shooter
    Can play off the ball
    2nd 20 pt scorer to take pressure off of Roy
    Only 28

    Cons-
    Off-court troubles
    Injured past
    Ball dominant

    Depends on the contract. I really think he is misunderstood and is overall a good person. If Oden isn't able to come back healthy, it may be worth it to take a shot on Arenas with a short contract. If it works great, if it doesn't, he wouldn't be around long anyways. He did average 23 points this season before being suspended. I also think this team is over the whole jail-blazers image and it would be acceptable to take on someone of Gilbert's past.

    Not really, but its not because of his past. I like Andre a lot and think he is a good enough point guard to win a title with and Bayless is our future lead guard. Its almost like, we have finally found a decent point guard in Andre and it was so nice actually watching us play with a legit pg this season and I don't want to throw that away. PG is the least of our concerns imo.

    Yeah, he was tripping with that Scottie Pippen reference. Nowhere as good as him, BUUUTTT, I think he can be, if he plays like a man. In Euroleague, you are taught more about finesse, and the fundamentals. He needs to put a little more muscle on, ...

    I think what Stotts is doing is superb. His plays are great. I remember the only play he ever called for Meyers Leonard, against the Bobcats. Great movement, got LMA a good mid range look, got Batum a decent three look and the got Meyers way down ...
