 . . . is that depending on the “morals clause” in his contract and any subsequent criminal complaints, the Deal from Hell could be voided. Could an enterprising POBO with league office connections be able to pull off something like, “Hey Gilbert, it’s in our right to void your contract completely. Instead of taking that drastic measure, let’s redo it for say, five years at five million per, mmkay? Sign here, here, and here.”

I don’t think I’d make Arenas a trade target option at this time

Getting Javale McGee could set our frontcourt rotation for years and years.

A first-rounder from Washington would likely be a pretty good one, especially if they replace Arenas and McGee with Cardinal and Blount.

It’d tie up our cap space, but rolling the dice on Arenas returning to form (and he’s really good when he’s healthy, right? If this gun thing blows over, why can’t he be an explosive 25 ppg scorer?) in addition to adding two other valuable, young pieces and without giving up ANY talent? It would be a risky move, but I like it.

I really want the Wolves to find a deal like this one, where we can prey on a team in financial trouble, but that Arenas contract is going to look a lot like Steve Francis’ and Stephon Marbury’s old ones that had high 8-figures left on it with zero or negative production. I think his career is headed south. Fast.

Too much money to consider for a draft pick or young player like McGee.

He’s just the type of gunner we need. A shooter with range. An assasin. Deadly from anywhere on the court. He steps in the gym and he’s ready to shoot.

If we get good, we’d be on TnT, and Kevin Harlan would have to be very careful not to use his “right between the eyes!” line.

Seriously, this is not my first choice (and I think that Washington is PRAYING) right now that they can void his contract), but let’s say we get to the deadline, and Gilbert looks like he’s healed and is playing well, the contract can’t be voided, and the Bullets are even more desperate to unload him. Say they are in line to get a top 5 pick in the draft. Wouldn’t you take that pick, McGee and Gil? I’d throw Flynn in there as well. If he’s healthy, I’d like to see Gil playing with Rubio.
