That's exactly my points, low risk high reward....I would ship battier and Jeffries to receive an all around young small forward in return too bad the salaries wouldnt match unless it was Melo/Granger/Iggy and since none of those seem realistic why not this??
If we could get that done and then swing one of our PGs and some more depth for a stud at SF we would be contenders immediately. I know Carmelo isn't likely right now but a team of healthy Arenas Martin Melo Scola Yao would be awesome to watch.
YES TO GILBERT!!!!!!!!!!!! We need ****ing leaders and hard men who will **** in Jordan Hill's shoes to light a fire under their asses, not fakes like ****ing Battier and Hayes!!! Ya hear me, dawg!!!!
I'm sure they were fooling around....do you really think both he and Arenas were serious about going all MATRIX in the Wizard's lockeroom? come on now......
Only Arenas possibly, Brooks at sg? He can't guard PGs how's he going to guard SGs? And Lowry can't shoot so that doesn't work either. And are they going to cut into Martin and Lee's minutes? Not happening
Locker room no, anywhere else possibly. If your stupid enough to bring a gun into a locker room, your stupid enough to do anything else.
That's rich. Crap in Jhills shoes won't help that's just nasty. And I'd say Hayes and Battier are better leaders and hard workers than Arenas.
Martin and Lee can play the three of need be......Lee guards sf's every now and then, and Martin plays more like a small forward on offense, so it's doable
Technically he could, if that sf is rudy fernandez or kyle korver, etc. Defensively that would be painful to watch and probably painful for him.
Yeah well Hayes/Battier combined don't add up to even 10ppg. Battier can no longer stop Kobe nor Lebron if you dont believe me go look up how many points each scored on battier that last five games each, straight up INSULTING. Leadership is important but look what all this "leadership" has done for us in houston (jack shhhh)
According to hoopshype 2010/11 $17,730,694 2011/12 $19,269,308 2012/13 $20,807,922 player option 2013/14 $22,346,53 Gilbert Arenas salary is to ridiculous, morey would never take it on
Not all about ppg. And who does stop Kobe or Lebron? With that being said I don't like Battier or Hayes but shipping them out doesn't help the cause.
Arenas Contract is to damn big, the dude is getting paid like a superstar. If we trade for him, I want their 2011 draft pick (unprotected) and the rights to swap picks in 2012 as well as Al Thornton! ............ 2011 Wiz. Draft pick(unprotected) 2012 "rights to swap" pick (top 5 protected) Al Thornton Gilbert Arenas (albatross Contract) for Shane Battier Jared Jeffries Chuck Hayes & Jermaine Taylor (just to kill some unwanted depth) ........... --RB
i definitely see him as a ron artest type...he's just kind of goofy and sometimes that turns into being careless, but he's got a competitiveness few have, and one that we severely lack on this team. We're basically talking about a taller version of Brooks. He's also pretty much still in his prime at 28...he's gotta have at least 3 more years at this level...perfect for this team's window of opportunity and ends right at the end of his contract, when he would be a HUGE expiring deal. He does make a lot, but so did tmac. You can get past that as long as you dont have B players around them.....problem is Washington probably won't settle for for picks, expirings, and nbdl talent.
