Gilbert Arenas?

by foxtrotportland on Jan 25, 2012 5:56 AM PST

Since he is still a free agent are we at all capable of signing Agent Zero?

I know he has had his moments of pure stupidity, but a couple months out of the league might set him a little more straight. I don't see a downside of signing him unless there is something in the rules I do not know. He is a huge upgrade over Nolan and Armon. In reality his scoring would be really useful.

Crawford can remain at the 2 instead of playing PG also.

We might not want both of them in at the same time, but sometimes it looks like this team needs a spark. So why not try it?

He didn't look bad at all last year, it was only six years ago he was close to 30 a game. and two years ago he was at 23 a game. he also hits the 3 better than of our current PGs right now.

I guess I'm just spitballing ideas, but I would love to see Arenas as a Blazer.

Doesn't look like we are doing much else to improve. Why not try this?

yea

so lets replace one that misses a lit IE Nolan Smith or Armon, with Arenas.

doesn't matter what guard it is.. we don't need any guards.

we need another big man.

well

it doesn’t seem like one wants to come here or we can’t get the right one.
so instead of just doing nothing, roll the dice on arenas?

by foxtrotportland on Jan 25, 2012 9:53 AM PST up reply actions

there aren't any good ones available at this point, or the right trade hasn't come around.

I think we’ll get some good blood this summer that’s a big body.

and we can

sign arenas to one year, so by this summer it wouldn’t matter…

by foxtrotportland on Jan 25, 2012 6:43 PM PST up reply actions

I'm in as long as...

we can give him a huge bloated contract!

Why

If you get “Good Gilbert” you are getting basically a somewhat better Jamal Crawford.

We could always use his shooting, but he was one of the absolutely worst defenders in the history of the NBA, and he won’t solve our ballhandling woes.

"somewhat better JC?"

so a lot better than nolan.

by foxtrotportland on Jan 25, 2012 9:52 AM PST up reply actions

he is strickly a name

and not even a good one. I don’t think he has any nba value left. lol

by hoodieNation on Jan 25, 2012 9:50 AM PST reply actions

more than...

nolan smith? YES!

by foxtrotportland on Jan 25, 2012 9:53 AM PST up reply actions

I'd say no

Nolan at least has the mythical “potential” while Arenas is a known pile of crap.

by hoodieNation on Jan 25, 2012 10:05 AM PST up reply actions

nolans best full year

as a pro won’t be as good as arenas’ full worst year as a pro. I don’t understand the Arenas bash… his numbers last year off the bench are close to Feltons this year except less turnovers.
