    After his injury he said he's worked on his passing.

    Was skeptical at first. His first game back I was there against the bucs, he had 8 assists in 21 minutes.

    Yeah a real ball hog he is these days. Have you seen him play recently?
    you mean the ty playoff minutes before he got shut down? everything was off.

    Put him in a good system with a big man, timmy, and he'll thrive.

    Plus even if he did stop the ball we'd end up with 30 points a night from him.
    Who else gives us that consistent production outside of timmy?
    I almost agree a direct swap of Tony and Arenas might be something to consider. But Manu + Tony? no way.

    Even a direct swap for Tony is crazy.

    Tony averages more assists and shoots about NINE percent higher from the field. Gilbert Arenas shoots more often, and averages more turnovers. Where's the benefit?

    Tim, Manu, and Tony are not going anywhere. It's stupid to even want to break them up. The core of the defending world champs still playing in the WCF's, breaking them up would be idiotic.

    Everyone is inconsistent when they are banged up & worn out and don't have any role players to make there life any easier. We have a great core for the next 2-3 years just need good role players who aren't one year past the year they should have retired.

    "almost"

    but maybe desperate times call for desperate measures. Arenas would be able to score on those droughts we always go on.

    Getting to the WCF is a desperate time?

    You all are nuts.

    Anyone can be a chucker, if that's what you want you can probably get a guy for a couple million bucks that can shoot 40% from the floor. You don't need to trade your All-Stars away for him.

    I can't think of any scenario where we would be desperate enough to downgrade PGs and pay more to do it.

    I, for one, like to look at realistic scenarios for the offseason.
    Yeah, this ain't one of them.

    Got damn Spurs fans can be dumb. I wouldn't trade Ginobili or Parker for two Arenaseses.

    -Arenas is broken. A non healing knee even after microfracture means there's a pretty decent chance he'll never regain his old explosion.

    -He's as selfish as players can be. He'd mesh with Pop about as well as oil mixes with water.

    -The Wizards were actually better without him this year.

    -He's one of the biggest chuckers alive.

    -He doesn't play defense.

    Seriously, what aspect of his game does he do well enough. If you want someone to shoot a low percentage but average a lot of points, just tell Ginobili or Parker to become a consciousless chucker ... problem solved.

    LOL I was going to say the same thing. Just tell Manu to chuck it 20-25 times a game. He'll get his 30 ppg too.

    Why would anyone want Areans? The guy would be great in a playground game though.

    LOL People think Parker's a ball hog. I can't imagine what would happen if a guy like Arenas was on the team, who only shoots 41% from the floor and chucks in volume.
    His shooting % should improve with fewer shots on the spurs. What % did Manu shoot?

    People take for granted unselfish players like Manu,

    we get Gilbert Arenas and he's going to be taking 30 + shots on bad nights when he should be passing, just to meet his 22-25 PPG average.

    It can be argued with Manu in our current system, he's inconsistent because he doesn't force his offensive game because he doesn't need to. He has had his most consistent season this year because Tim and Tony got injured and he had to take the scoring load. Rather than take 25 shots just to make 25 points a la the Kobes, Lebrons, on human off scoring nights, Manu will shoot below 10 shots.

    Arenas would take away from the "ball sharing" and especially from Tim and Tony's touches.

    He's too undersized to be a scorer on one end, we'd be giving up points on the other end by playing a Tony-Arenas backcourt

    I don't see how getting a legit star like Arenas (or Gordon) would be any worse than what we've got right now. His knee injury is a concern, though.

    But we have too many aging, injured, inconsistent players. Time to get real players (like the Lakers have!) around Tim, and if we have to shed Tony, Manu, or Bruce, sobeit.
    Are you Isaih Thomas or the Knicks' owner yourself?

    As long as we have the core of Timmy, Manu, Bruce, and Tony....the front office can do as much shuffling as possible in attempt to surround us with more reliable offense.

    he can win games single handedly, and he's got speed.

    Even with finley, vaughn, horry, barry, getting dumped, we couldnt afford him?
    he can lose a series single-handedly too.

    Is Arenas such an asshole and so uncoachable that he'd play the same game in SA? Surrounded by professionals and a track record of winning?
