Yay! I'm going to Washington!

Philly fans seem really happy though.

Haha

Tough to look more dejected than that.

And just like that John Wall has to spend the next 3-4 years toiling away on a crappy Washington team.

Hello 30 wins a year!!!

There are plenty of "distractions" in DC that will make him feel better

Wall will be treated like a God on U Street.

anyone think that Washington will trade Arenas now and try to pick up another selection?

Gilbert can play the 2

Not sure who’d want that nut case. Not to mention he hasn’t been great since coming back from injury.

Gilbert

makes too much money and like somebody stated he has been injury prone the last few season’s. I think those two can work well in the backcourt because Wall is more of a point than Gil

I think they should leave gilbert somewhere in Maryland with no money or ID and hope he never makes it back.

by Aisander D on May 18, 2025 11:42 PM EDT up reply actions

Yeah, Gilbert Arenas will man the shooting guard spot.

While Arenas and John Wall are both high usage players, they’re stylistic different; thus, Arenas’ love of lauching long-range bombs mixed in with Wall’s dribble-drive/kickout playmaking abilities should work on some level.

Defense, however, could be a different story, especially if they’re playing alongside an offensive-minded gunner like Al Thornton at the 3.
