You're a very nice guy - I like your straight forward reasoning - would be great to have you as a news personality in the central NJ/NYC metro area.

What about Rashard Lewis Kige?

and marbury? does deserve that amount of money?

[suburban114]

I think cloycebox hit the nail on the head. Besides Arenas is worth the money because he is the one who brings the fans and attention to the team because of his personality and charisma. Jamison and Butler are solid players but they don't have the all around package that Arenas brings. He's worth the money. Kige if you were going to make an argument about why its not justified, you should've brought up his 2 recent knee surgeries. Once again, you need to add detail to your opinions.

Where's the Rick Pitino autographed SI cover I scanned for you?!?!?!?!?

Kige, it's not that big of a deal. It's not like this is the first 100+ million dollar contract so all of the sudden owners will start handing them out.

Antawn Jamison is the REAL star of the Washington Wizards,he got them to the playoffs when Arenas missed 69 games last year

[cloycebox]

So that's 16.66M per year for 6 years ... there are already 16 players in the NBA who get paid more than that, including players like Rashard Lewis, Jermaine O'Neal and Stephon Marbury, none of whom can carry Arenas' jock. So I have no idea why you would get so worked up about Gilbert Arenas' pending deal. Besides, the owners can't collude to hold down salaries. Washington has a ton of cap space right now and it would look very fishy if they refused to re-sign their best free agent.
