    I sometimes read Gilbert "Agent Zero" Arenas' blog. On that point, he is talking absolute non-sense (my opinion). Thoughts ?

    This is the first thread I post. Expect to see me a lot more in the future. Thanks to Clutch and Clutchfans for everything !

    I agree, comparing him to Kevin Ollie is ridiculous :(

    To Mr. Agent Zero:
    Washington Wizards doesn't miss a bit and in fact is a better team playing without their all-star big-mouthed guard!

    Signed,
    Calderon!

    Arenas can be entertaining at times but he can also be annoying. I'll eat my keyboard if he ever wins a title. I'd say I would eat my keyboard if he ever even made it to the Finals but since he is in the Leastern Conference, where any team can get to the Finals, I will keep quiet on that one.

    I would take Calderon on my team over Arenas if it wasn't Calderon's contract season.

    He has shown he can be a pure shooter, but the question is will he continue improving his game next season? If yes, I take Calderon over Arenas for sure.

    Calderon- makes his teammates better
    Arenas- not so much
    So... Arenas is taken off of his team the Wizards. And where are they? Guess Arenas isn't an all-star by his standards.

    good point, but realistically, if you could add one of these players to the rockets its a no brainer.

    I don't understand all the hate. Why are we criticizing Arenas for speaking his mind. I guess you guys like that politically correct stuff. He's telling it lke he sees it. Calderon is a 3 year back up point guard who is average.

    I haven't watched Calderon play much, but he's putting up some outrageous numbers. Here's a comparison to Steve Nash:

    Code:
              [B]mpg    pts/36  ast/36  reb/36  to/36   FG%    3P%    FT%    PER[/B]
Calderon  31.6    14.1    10.1    3.6     1.8   53.3%  46.1%  92.1%  22.6
Nash      34.4    18.1    12.2    3.6     4.0   50.7%  47.0%  90.1%  22.0
    And Calderon posted a very solid PER in his second year as well (19.1), so I don't know if this is a fluke.
