He is not even the best player on the Wizards that would be Caron Butler. IMO, Butler is the 3rd or 4th SF in the league after LBJ23, Pierce, and maybe Granger. I think Butler is better than Melo cause Melo is so 1 dimensional and Butler is hands down better than Arenas. The same goes for Jamison who is also an All-star and vastly overrated he is by far the better all-around player than Gilbert. All Gilbert is, is a 20+ PPG scorer he is a terrible PG that is selfish and does not have his team's best interest @ hand. The Wizards last year showed they are better off w/o him by getting into the playoffs with a better record than when they had Gilbert. They had a streak of 11 straight wins and when Gilbert came back he completely fucked the chemistry and they lost 7 straight. Gilbert can't pass, chucks up like nobody's business when he is off, can't rebound, or defend. He is not that good of a player. In fact, the Wizards were better off with Mason at point last year. He can do a little bit of everything. Therefore, Mason > Arenas. Arenas and his passing inability is what is worse cause Butler and Jamison aren't exactly good passers and although the trio has combined for the highest scoring trio for 5 years now. When they play together their is no ball movement and the game is stagnant. Ever notice when Daniels came in the flow of the game improved when Arenas came out? Also, the Wizards play my Knicks 4x, last night in fact was our 3rd meeting. I have realized that Butler is the man of this team and Jamison follows they should be kept they exhibit heart and all-around play and Butler straight up kills my team he always shows up against them even though they lose. I also realized the reason why Wizards suck this year is not cause of Gilbert, but cause of the Haywood injury. Haywood is their only consistent low post threat and really came on strong last year/ They miss him thrown in with the fact that Thomas can no longer be balls 2 the wall hustle on a consistent basis due to the irregular heart beat and Blatche is good, but young and inconsistent. As, for Gilbert. What is Eating Gilbert Arenas he is selfish and the team fucked up giving him the extension. He cares more of his nicknames Hibachi or Agent 0 than winning. He cares more of showing up Deshawn Stevenson in 3pt contest than winning, and he said he would not like to play if Wizards were not in contention. Well, last year when they were in contention he did not mind coming back messing with the chemistry only to get a contract bonus. I really hate the guy the Wizards would be much better if they trade him to the Bulls for Hinrich. Hinrich is better than Arenas and a true floor general that would flourish once more after he was demoted by Rose. In Washington he would pair well with Butler and Jamison. Throw in Hughes in the trade cause his best days were in Washington and him and Stevenson can form a defensive-3pt shooting duo. Then they give up McGee and Thomas cause the Bulls would take them being that they are loaded with Guards. Arenas could be SG and Gordon 6th Man. PG. KIRK HINRICH SG. DESHAWN STEVENSON SF. CARON BUTLER PF. ANTAWN JAMSION C. BRENDAN HAYWOOD 6. Larry Hughes * Makes for much better team. Yes, did they win w/o Arenas before yes. Sometimes role players are more important to a team than their so called All-stars. To me Arenas is not an All-star. But, anyways once again on certain teams role players are more instrumental than All-stars. In terms of PG productivity Arenas if you call him a PG is dead last 30. Ridnour and Blake are more instrumental to their teams @ the point than Arenas is. So if the Wiz are better w/ Arenas how come last year w/o him they won more games than with him? And Caron is a 20/6/6 guy how is that not better than Arenas a 1 dimensional player.
