Jamison is the most consistent, and the least injured of the Wizards "Big Three." It was definitely a smart move locking him up.
Baron Davis just hit the free agent market, however, so I don't know if I can say the same about locking up Gilbert Arenas. Davis didn't miss a game last season. Arenas hardly played. Either player will cost a fortune, but does anyone trust Arenas' knee at this point? I don't even know if he does. |

I'm with GSPODS on this one, were I Ernie Grunfelfd, I'd be in no particular hurry to retain him. I'd want assurances for assurances for that knee. In fact, I'd be reluctant to make a deal any longer than three seasons. |

Agreeing with GSPODS can kill a reputation quickly. Don't make a habit of it.
I can't reasonably believe anyone is going to offer Arenas a $100 million contract. Not when both Baron Davis and Corey Maggette are available and probably cheaper. |

Golden State already did... 5 year deal worth over 100 mil. |

I saw that. I guess they aren't expecting Baron Davis back. But I'd let Arenas go at that price. His knee isn't going to get any better. He won't play long enough to fill the contract. |

i really think his knee wil be fine, but thats probably the optimistic fan side of me talking. i dont know
what i do know is Arenas is one of only a few players in the league who can just take over a game. He goes into this mode where no ones gonna stop him. And if he still is that player then he is worth the 100 mil (no one is really worth that much IMO but if thats what ya gotta pay then what ever). I just hope that IF they do re-sign him that he is that same player. |

Except against the Cavs.  |

Touche. I think it's fairly obvious the Wizards aren't going to be advancing in the playoffs with their current lineup. They are going to have to make a change somewhere. The obvious change is Arenas. I'm not anti-Gilbert, but this lineup is going nowhere fast. |

Elton Brand would look good in Gold and Black.  |

I was thinking the same thing. Jamison at the 3 and Butler at the 2 sounds like a really nice combo, especially with Stevenson, Mason, Young, Blatche, etc. as role players.
In a perfect world, Brand and Baron Davis would look goos in Wizards uniforms. |

I missed that. 
Well, in that case, it is going to be difficult to replace Arenas production.
His production at full strength, that is. I'm still not convinced Gilbert will ever be that player again. |
