Gilbert Arenas and the Amnesty Clause

Posted by gilbertology on May 28th, 2011


NBA owners and players will be negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) after the NBA Finals. If a deal cannot be agreed to, fan will experience a lockout next season. One interesting bullet point that may be included in the talks is whether teams will be allowed an amnesty clause. The amnesty clause allows teams to waive one player from their team it would not count against their salary cap, thereby reducing the need to pay a luxury tax. The waived players can sign with any other team and would still be paid the remainder of their prior contract.

What does this mean for the Orlando Magic and Gilbert Arenas? Arenas would be the most likely candidate to get off the books for the Magic since he is being paid an enormous amount of money coming off the bench. It could help give the Magic the ability to resign Dwight Howard. If Arenas is released, what team would you like to see him play for next season (if there is a next season)?

Gilbert Arenas in Air Jordan XI Cool Greys

Posted by gilbertology on April 17th, 2011

Arenas continued his trend of being the league’s true sneakerhead, rocking the Air Jordan XI Cool Greys.

Gilbert didn’t exactly light the world on fire in his 12 minutes of play and the Magic losing home court advantage so maybe Gilbert needs to go back to shoes he wore when he scored 25 points, the Air Jordan Retro VII. Be on the lookout to what Gilbert wears next.
