Most of the focus lately has been on his latest surgery, but Gilbert has found other ways to make the news as well.

• Remember when Gil said this in his blog about former teammate Juan Dixon over the summer?

Juan is one of those players out there that needs a team, because he can really help out with scoring. He needs a team to just let him play. I’ve played with a lot of players in my time in the league, and he has to be one of the top five I’ve played with in terms of points per minute. He’s just a high volume scorer. If you gave him 40-plus minutes of playing time, he’d give you 20-plus points per game average. He’s like a bigger Ben Gordon. We’ll see where he ends up. I’ll take him back in D.C. right now.

Was he sending a message to Wizards management that he wanted Dixon as a teammate again?  It certainly looks like it.

• It ain’t easy being Gilbert Arenas, but at least he can take solace in the fact that he’s loved in Argentina.
• The Blowtorch has the “inside” story on Gilbert’s engagement.
• Hoops Addict has a full recap of the Hoops for the Homeless event which was hosted by Gilbert and Magic Johnson right before Gilbert’s surgery.
• Speaking of the surgery, Gilbert told the Times’ Mike Jones that he’s already starting to feel better after his surgery and he’s already begun rehab.
