Gilbert Arenas Declares For NBA Draft, Hoping To Escape Wizards
Apr 23, 2008 | 8:19AM | report this

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."

If for no other reason than to get out of those atrocious uniforms.

I think the person who designed them must have eaten some bad mushrooms the night before and suffered from nightmares.

i think Gilbert Arenas is eating "mushrooms"...and his jersey number is foretelling of exactly how many games the Wizards will win!!!

The fact that Gilbert stays up til 4 in the morning playing video games goes to show his commitment level.

I say in three years, Arenas will disappear from the ranks of the top ten best guards of the NBA.

And the sad thing is that the hapless L.A. Clippers will probably end up trading for him.

The Sacramento Kings have uniforms of a similar color. Which one is worse?

Wizards should sign and trade Gilbert for a Power Forward or Center, who can play defense. Gilbert can not play with other all stars
