Arenas Suspended

[Lupe]

NEW YORK -- The NBA has suspended the Washington Wizards' Gilbert Arenas indefinitely.

"Although it is clear that the actions of Mr. Arenas will ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse, his ongoing conduct has led me to conclude that he is not currently fit to take the court in an NBA game," commissioner David Stern said in a statement Wednesday. "Accordingly, I am suspending Mr. Arenas indefinitely, without pay, effective immediately pending the completion of the investigation by the NBA."

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports cites a NBA source who says, "Stern feels like he's been taunted by [Arenas]. He's done for the year... at the very least."

Me too brah. My team is very PG oriented but Gil is really important but after i found out he was suspended and read David's Sterns comments, I dropped him . I can see Gil being suspended for the whole season tbqh and I cant afford to wait for his return because my league is so damn competitive. I replaced him with Luther Head who is on a tear as of late.

Aside from that, as a Wizards fan this has to be the last straw for Ernie Grunfeld and the front office. Find a way to void his contract since no one will trade for him and rebuild. Fuck it, i wouldnt mind if they tank the season in order to get a better shot to draft John Wall, Wesley Johnson, or Derrick Favors. Also, i want them to keep Caron. DONT TRADE HIMMMMM

The rebuilding in Washington is never gonna end. The death of a franchise....

This is good for washington. They could actually speed up the rebuilding process now since im assuming they are going to void is contract as well right?

I remember when arenas was hot and he was cheating on videogames on Xbox Live.

I never thought dude was worth a max contract or close to it. dude was just a shooter that got hot for a few years.

if anyone i feel bad for Critter, arenas at elast has some money, wtf is critter gonna do?

New details of what may have happened, according to what Arenas told Police:

It also came as new details emerged about the locker-room confrontation between Arenas and Javaris Crittenton, a Wizards teammate, on Dec. 21 that suggest a potentially far more volatile incident than was originally reported by Arenas to team officials.

The two players had been arguing during a card game on the Wizards' flight back from Phoenix Dec. 19, and the dispute spilled into the team locker room at Verizon Center before practice two days later. Arenas has acknowledged bringing his handguns to the arena and displaying them in the locker room that morning in what he maintained was a playful gesture aimed at his teammate.

According to two first-hand accounts of the confrontation, Crittenton responded to Arenas's action -- which included laying the four unloaded weapons in Crittenton's cubicle with a note that read, "Pick One" -- by brandishing his own firearm, loading the gun and chambering a round.

Two of the five people in the room that morning, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Arenas had originally not disclosed Crittenton's action to protect the little-used guard from prosecution and had told Crittenton he would assume full responsibility for the actions of both players that day.

In a two-hour interview with police and federal prosecutors Monday, Arenas, in his version of the story, spoke of Crittenton's loaded gun, a person with knowledge of Arenas's testimony said.

Mark Bartlestein, Crittenton's agent, declined to comment. Crittenton, in a series of text messages responding to a request for comment, said the account provided by the witnesses was "false."

"I have done nothing wrong. Let the investigation process take its course and you will see that," he said. "My name is dying in this situation."

David Stern listened to that before dictating to his secretary the smackdown on Arenas.
