“I think John Wall will add years to Gilbert’s career. He’ll lug the ball up, he’ll run. Gilbert is a great shooter, Gilbert goes hard to the rim….John has great physicality and off the chart basketball IQ, and great players want to play with great players, so I think this was a great thing for Gilbert Arenas and his career, and I also think that Gilbert understands that he has to perform and step up. The best way to re-bond with the fan base is to come in happy and healthy and be a really really highly functioning trusted teammate and be very very coachable. And my bet is Gilbert can be all of that.” – Ted Leonsis

What do you get when you combine Gilbert Arenas and Daft Punk? A Gilbert Arenas mix of course.

To have more flexible cap room to sign their own free agents, the Miami Heat traded draft picks and $16 million dollar trade exceptions to the Toronto Raptors for Chris Bosh and Cleveland Cavaliers for LeBron James. Teams with a trade exception have up to a year in which they can acquire more salary in other trades than they send away. Gilbert Arenas is scheduled to make just under $18 million this season. If the Raptors or Cavaliers are willing to take on the big contract, both teams have the assets to pull off a deal that could land them Arenas for virtually nothing, enabling the Wizards to get out of the remaining years of Arenas’ deal and to rebuild with John Wall.

It was first reported that Gilbert Arenas would wear #6 this season but then came word that Arenas may not wear #6 at all and if you’ve already purchased an Arenas #6 jersey, you were pretty much out of luck. Truth About It speculated that he may wear #13, in honor of his mother, who passed away on March 13. Now reports are Gilbert has settled on wearing #9 this upcoming season. Why #9? Who knows. That’s Gilbert for you.
