ChosenOne Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 The Wizards have fined four players $10,000 apiece for making light of teammates Gilbert Arenas' antics before Tuesday's game in Philadelphia. Fines were handed out to Andray Blatche, JaVale McGee, Randy Foye and Nick Young on Friday night. The quartet were among a group that surrounded Arenas when he pointed his index fingers at teammates as if he were firing a pair of guns during a pregame huddle. "It was foolish, stupid, immature," said Foye, "but I've got to be a man and accept my penalty and I apologize to the fans and the organization for behaving in that manner." Arenas has been suspended indefinitely by the NBA while under investigation by federal and local authorities for possible violations of the strict gun laws in Washington D.C.

JWaLL Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 The fine is a bit much, but it will definitely have a good impact on our team. Maybe all of these past incidences will whip our team into shape so they can start focusing on winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWaLL Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I dont think the fine is a bit much because it is a very serious situation after all.All they did was laugh at the unexpected gesture that Gilbert did. It was already stated that Gilbert did it out of his own will without telling anyone and some of the other players just went along with it. Fined for laughing is ridiculous, but whatever. It'll benefit us anyway and hopefully make the goofball players on our team more mature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Yeah I'm with Matt on this one, fine is a little excessive. To be honest this came out of no where, and it's a little absurd, the commish is being a little too strict with this whole situation. I don't know about you guys, but I wasnt expecting anything of this sort. Edited January 9, 2010 by Confidence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
