    While everybody is dreaming for Rashard, Bibby, Billups, Artest. Agent 0 announced he will opt out of his contract and becoming a free agent in 08, so he maybe available. Out of all the guys above he is the one I want the most. This is our third scorer, cannot leave him open, and he can create his own shot. Also he averaged 6 assist a game. Go ahead not enough balls on the court with Yao and T-Mac that is b.s. both players were begging for a third option against Utah. Yao and T-Mac aren't shot hungry, they have to shoot because they have no help. The Rockets will be indefensible if they could pull this off. I no its' not going to happen but hey we have been dreaming of other players that are changing addresses with no salary cap relief, so why not Agent 0.

    You know how much Agent 0 would cost? If Agent Zero were an unrestricted free agent, you'd have to dump the salary of one of your best players. What NBA team is willing to do that? Maybe the Hawks or the Celtics but not a playoff contending team.

    He is doing this to increase the value of his deal. He wants to get max dollars and the Wizards realized this year just how valuable he is to the team and the will likely give him the max.

    He's had a history of health problems as well hasn't he? I would love him but at not at the expense of having a long future. Keep up the effort!

    Good thinking. LBJ's contract ends in 2010, he would also make a good third scorer for our team. Thoughts?

    What are the limits of this type of fantasizing? Garnett also has a Player Option for next summer (season of 2008-09). Why stop with Arenas if Garnett may also be a FA?

    C'mon people...there's a huge difference between not very likely and ridiculous.

    Are you out of your freakin mind.

    FIRST: Without giving up Mac and Yao we have nothing Washington would give GA up for. And we cannot sign him ouright

    SECOND: GA scores more than Mcgrady and Yao so he is not playing third fiddle to no one. Mac and Ming might not be shot hungry but GA is.

    THIRD: You are an idiot to even think we could get GA without giving up Ming or Mac or if we did that everything would work out great. GA does not play third scorer to any one.

    Yeah I enjoyed the thought of agent zero coming over for about...oh...1 second. B.I.G is right though, 0 ain't playing #3 to nobody.

    Clutch, can you put in a feature to allow a person to close their own thread? This one would qualify.

    Ahh, I was patiently waiting for this thread to pop up in the GARM. And here is my carefully-worded response:

    LOL GILBERT IS A FRANCHISE PLAYER; HE WON'T BE LEAVING WASHINGTON, AND LES ALEXANDER IS CHEAP AND LOVES PETA.

    Oh Caps Lock, how I love thee.

    Are you kidding me? You thought abuot Gilbert? So it shouldn't be suprise for me if I saw threads like: Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, Allem Iverson, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, etc. Please think about trades that could happen

    Forget that, We'll just get them all and DWade can be our 5th option and Carmelo could be our Sixth Man. My only worry is that we still wouldn't have a PF. ;)

    Yao
    McGrady
    Lebron
    Arenas
    Wade

    Even a better thought. It would be nice if we can get LBJ by giving up JHo.
