Like
O.J. Mayo, Tyler Hansborough, and Michael Beasly, yet another player
has declared himself eligible for the upcoming 2008 NBA Draft. But this
time it's Washington Wizards point guard Gilbert Arenas. The move has
stunned basketball GMs around the league as they scramble to update
their draft boards to accomodate the superstar. This is the first time
an active player has re-entered the draft while currently playing.
Arenas
is a 7th year player out of Arizona, and will be by far the oldest in
this year's draft. But, a player of his caliber demands consideration
by every team, as he has consistently put up 20+ points when healthy
with the Wizards. He was originally drafted in 2001 by Golden State.
"It's been 7 years, I think I've fulfilled my commitment to the league
when they drafted me the first time," said Arenas. "It's time to be
drafted again. It was fun, and I think it's the only way I can finally
escape these damn Wizards. We just can't beat Lebron. I need out,
hopefully a Western Conference team can pick me up or something."
all these years of support and love from D.C. and now you want to ditch us right in the middle of the playoffs.How incredibly irresponsible to just write off your teammates and your fans...hit the bricks bud!Hope you get stuck playin for a sucky team in a LAME location out west.!!!
