Gilbert Arenas Back With Wizards - Impact
The Washington Wizards and Gilbert Arenas have agreed on a new contract that will pay Arenas $111M. The Wizards made re-signing Arenas their number one offseason priority and they successfully accomplished that goal. Arenas turned down a deal from the Golden State Warriors to re-up with Washington.
Arenas has proven himself to be a very good basketball player — in real life and the fantasy world. He’s a point guard who can score and also rack up the assists. He’s an explosive athlete who is also a very capable outside shooter.
The only concern regarding Arenas right now is injury. Arenas has had two knee surgeries that have shortened his last two NBA seasons. When healthy, he’s a fantastic asset. But if he can’t stay healthy, the Wizards may live to regret this decision.
In fantasy basketball drafts, Arenas is probably a solid second rounder in the 2008-09 season. If he can prove to be healthy, his stock could rise into the first round.
The Wizards hope Gilbert Arenas can forget about the suits.
