Arenas Trade in the Works

Arenas Trade in the Works

Arenas Trade in the Works

NBA star Gilbert Arenas did not set foot on the court for the Washington Wizards this year. Arenas suffered from injury problems, but when he was healthy to play he was told that the franchise was ready to move on without him.

Arenas requested trades multiple times throughout the season, but the Wizards were unable to find a deal that suited them.

Now that the off-season has rolled around, the Wizards are eager to let go of Arenas' enormous contract. A trade with the Memphis Grizzlies seems likely, as the Grizzlies are one of the only teams with the cap room to hold Arenas' contract.

The Wizards are supposedly eyeing up the Grizzlies' number ten overall draft pick. It's no secret that Washington was looking to move up in the draft, and Memphis would more than likely be willing to let go of their pick for an established star like Arenas.

If the deal goes through the Wizards will have picks at the ten spot and at number nineteen. They are looking to upgrade at the point guard position, so if a player like Brandon Jennings or Tyreke Evans falls far enough the Wizards will take him in a heartbeat.​

tough loss in finals. lol clippers almost got the number 1 pick again

 

[Flight24]

hey guys i think i'm gonna trade arenas to the grizz for the 10th pick. does this sound ok to all of you? arenas is only an 82 now because of how unhappy he was so i think the 10th pick is fair.

 

[mfbmike]

Damn, lamar overpaid imo considering his age. Hakim also getting paid big bucks just to come off the bench. Fuck Pecherov!

Lakers got the best of ya. Hell of a run though.

tbh if I was the grizz, I'd do it. Arenas is what, 26/27 and can still post 20+ ppg easily.

 

[.RoCkEtS1]

Yeah real tough loss. Good Luck in the offseason. I hope you get good value for Arenas.

 

[mfbmike]

Let me add, I personally think you could get more for Arenas considering his value but it's up to you.

lamars numbers were very good last year though, and he wouldnt have accepted had i gone any less. warrick was a guy i love to have on my team, gets about 11 and 5 and is just plain fun to play with. he also wouldnt have accepted had i gone any less.

and thanks man, appreciate it.

Damn, wrong end of the finals. I think Lamar is a little overpaid, but oh well. Grizzlies pick wouldn't be a bad pickup for Arenas, considering you went to the finals without him.

yeah the grizzlies would accept it no doubt.

i figure i can get more for arenas, but im not sure what i need really. i would like another point guard but i really like the draft prospects so i dont want to trade for one, and the grizz are the only team with the cap room for arenas.

Wizards Pull the Trigger; Send Arenas to Memphis

Wizards Pull the Trigger; Send Arenas to Memphis

The Washington Wizards finally settled on a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies and have sent Gilbert Arenas to Tennessee for the Grizzlies' tenth overall draft pick.

"I'm ecstatic," said Arenas. "It's good to know I can finally play basketball again, for a team that wants me."

The Wizards will most likely take a point guard with the tenth pick to fill Arenas' void. The Grizzlies will use Arenas in the starting lineup immediately. The Grizzlies finished the season at 38-44 last year, and now with a starting lineup including Arenas, O.J. Mayo, Rudy Gay, Marc Gasol, and Andray Blatche, Memphis could very well be making noise in the Western Conference.

"We're happy that the distraction is gone," said Wizards general manger Ernie Grunfeld. "It's good to know we can just get back to playing basketball without having to worry about who's happy or not."​
