    I have followed Wizzards game this season, I think Arenas plays much better then SF this year, this is tradeable since Wizzards may want SF becuz of Maryland connection.

    When will these trade ideas stop? There should be an area on the BBS called - Proposed Trades.

    I don't blame you, when I first came to this board two years ago, people can barely criticize Francis and Mobley since some senior members could bash you to death. Right now we have some free room but still many people don't like to listen it. They ignore the truth which many people could easily see many years ago: either SF-CAT combo needs to change their game or one of them must go in order for Rockets to move on. Unfortunately all I can see those years is they will not chnage much.

    Arenas is just like Francis, only not as good. We better get their #1 in that trade as well.

    Arenas is all round player, he can pass, drive and shoot. I think SF's game is still not completed.

    1) The trade deadline has passed.
    2) Your "trade idea" has been discussed frequently.
    3) Do you have an idea whether a trade would even be possible cap-wise, and if yes, when?

    Arenas? No thank you, we could get way more than that for Steve, plus he is a similar kind of player to Steve, maybe just not as good. Let's see how Stevie goes for the reminder of the season first.

    I think Arenas is smarter, but I think I would like to see how Steve performs in the close out of this season.

    And, what do you know, since the trade deadline is over...I get my wish.

    Explain why you think Arenas is smarter. Arenas is basically Francis two years ago!

    Here's how smart Arenas is: When he was with the Warriors, after bickered with his coach and teammates about taking too many shots, Arenas concocted his own form of protest -- he refused to shoot the ball for the first 40 minutes of a game against the Knicks. Real professional.

    How smart is that?

    Here's more on Arenas as a Wizard, from a Bay Area paper:

    http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/sports/7226080.htm

    OK, who guessed that Nov. 9 would be the date Gilbert Arenas first ran afoul of the Washington Wizards hierarchy? Was that you, Garry St. Jean? You, Chris Mullin? Chris Cohan? Erick Dampier?

    I admit, I've dismissed most of the anti-Arenas buzz emanating recently from the Warriors organization. Sure, he's self-centered. He's immature -- we all knew that. Sure, he might have caused some strife in the Warriors locker room last season.

    Sure, things might be far happier and calmer these days in Warrior-land with Nick Van Exel, Clifford Robinson and Calbert Cheaney preaching teamwork and with Arenas' flighty moods headed east.

    But he also won games. He was the most exciting Warriors player in years. And if the salary cap had allowed the Warriors to give Arenas $60 million to match the Wizards' free-agent offer, they would have. Slam-dunk, no question.

    The Warriors' grudge against Arenas was too new to be anything but spin, right?

    Still . . . that news nugget from Saturday's game was an eye-catcher: Arenas was benched for the third quarter by Coach Eddie Jordan in the Wizards' loss to Cleveland.

    Apparently, Jordan was unhappy that Arenas tossed the ball into the stands at halftime to protest a non-call and Arenas was not thrilled by Jordan's move.

    So $65 million didn't even buy the Wizards six games of peace. And those Warriors predictions of imminent Wizard/Arenas mayhem were ominously accurate.

    ***

    The way people treat STeve in here is like adulterous husband syndrome -- the grass always seems greener on the other side, but rarely is.

    the funny thing is. most people who propose trade ideas are noobs like me. But I've never done it.
