Gilbert Arenas

Saturday, December 18, 2010
When Gilbert Arenas is ready to enter the gates of the court before practice target practice with the Wizards, I asked him if he would say something.
"You know, I do not talk on game days," said Arenas, then entered.
But if the Wizards face the Miami Heat on Saturday, the question remains: How long will Washington represent? As reported yesterday, but I confirmed by two sources League this morning, participants engaged in serious discussions with the Orlando Magic to a participation agreement with Arenas. It is expected that a uniform of the participants, perhaps the last time the team LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh Host ... and President Barack Obama, who should attend the Wizards second game since his arrival in the Oval Office.
Magic General Manager Otis Smith told reporters in Orlando that morning, he spoke to Arenas and the Wizards on the talks an "eight out of 10" in terms of aggressiveness. He also said that "there is nothing imminent," which is something I was told today by another source.
After the Wizards lost to New Jersey on Thursday, said Arenas: "I am the handyman here only because I am older When we have a team of 19 [years], 20, 20 see for Clock, .. 20, 20 And see are affected in about 29. It is the image looks long and are not part of this. "
Smith is close to Arenas, the Orlando Sentinel said in private conversations that the three times All-Star a "sleeping giant". CBSSports Ken Berger reports that magic is also trying to include the Phoenix had a meeting with the Suns forward Hedo Turkoglu, the Orlando reach the NBA Finals played in 2009.
Wizards owner Ted Leonsis fire on trade rumors two weeks ago, Arenas said last month that Arenas is not "everywhere." So what changed? I said the magic in the Wizards come this week, and since then negotiations have intensified. The organization begins the frustrations Arenas plays with a rebuilding team, and both parties have a degree of separation from the last season when Arenas was suspended for the last 50 trying to understand games by the carrying of arms in the locker room at Verizon Center in Last December 21st
A source with knowledge of the negotiations said today that the Wizards do not want to include on their list of players in the arena of the agreement. This does not mean that these plans are not changed, because the intention is to go Arenas. Magic is also a little concerned about leaving the recovery of wages Arenas, of $ 62,400,000 and three years after that, according to a person informed of the negotiations.
"The duration of his contract and health were probably more my concern," Smith told reporters in Orlando. "With the duration of the contract you are always aware of the increased concern of course. This has always been one of my concerns. I know a little bit closer to Gilbert from the field and as a person. It is likely, as the guys we have in the changing room now. I would say that people take stupid decisions sometimes good and it's one of those guys. "
The pieces move Magic remains uncertain, but Rashard Lewis, Vince Carter and Marcin Gortat are the names that have spread around. Lewis has two years and nearly $ 43,000,000 his contract after this season, while Carter a contract expiring contract is signed Arenas.
The Orlando Sentinel reported that the Magic are trying to make a change to shake up a team that lost five of their last six games, but said he would prefer to Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets to acquire. Two weeks ago, said a league source, the magic also interested in Chris Paul.
Before the shooting practice in the morning, said he did not expect Nick Young, that the rumors are a distraction. "Rumors are rumors were. You never know. I'm there, I saw Caron [Butler] and all go through it. The players are traded. This is a business, but whatever happens, we hope to concentrate for the next game."
