This is my favorite line in the article:

"Arenas has yet to play for the Wizards since signing a new $111 million contract in the offseason after undergoing surgery on his left knee."

I'm sure the Arenas camp had no idea there could be a health problem when he signed that HUGE contract.

I hope Crittenton gets some playing time, he looked like he had a ton of upside when I saw him with the Lakers.  He's quick, has handles, can get to the rim and has the kind of attitude you need as an NBA player.  I think he could be an NBA starter quality PG in this league with the right team.

I'm aggravated by this deal because Crittenton is a guy I always wanted the sixers to get and obvoiusly he wouldn't ahve been too expensive to get...low investment high reward kind of move.

THe wizards have no one but themselves to blame for the Arenas (and jamison) debacle that will hamstring their franchise in mediocrity for years

What's odd is Arenas was hinting at leaving DC.  Should have let him go instead of opening up the wallet so wide.

No one was going to offer him a better deal...i mean no ways the sixers made a play at him - who else ahd money last summer?
