Built Ford Tough Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) According to Michael Lee, the NBA will announce later today that Gilbert Arenas has been suspended for the rest of the NBA season. Lee reports that Arenas was actually the one to suggest his punishment, and Stern agreed with Arenas' judgement. The NBA Players Association doesn't plan on fighting the decision. At the end of the day, this is pretty much what was expected. I don't really have a problem with it and I'm personally happy that Arenas wasn't suspended for any longer. It speaks volumes that Arenas went ahead and suggested this punishment. Perhaps Stern told Arenas to do this as a way to see how remorseful he was. Perhaps Arenas legitimately worried he'd be suspended for longer. Either way, it gives you an idea how seriously everyone now takes this. We'll have much more as it happens here. http://www.bulletsforever.com/2010/1/27/1272703/gilbert-arenas-suspended-for-rest Not that this should surprise anybody. The only way that it should be somewhat of a surprise is if you thought he should have got more than just the next 38 games, which chould be argued (although I wouldn't agree with it, as this is fair imo).

JWaLL Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Seems fair to me. I try to ignore all of the hatred comments who suggest he should be banned for life just because of his bad reputation as an immature and injury prone shoot first point guard. I'm fine with this, but it kinda sucks we'll still be stuck with his contract, doesn't sound like we're going to resort to a buyout. Voiding his contract is far out of the question and will not happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeZee Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Sounds about right for both Arenas & Crittenton. Should be interesting to see where they both end up next season, as I can't see Arenas sticking around in Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
