Washington Wizards 2009-2010 Ongoing Thread

I thought this would be the year that the Wizards really showed us that they're a first class team. However, I'm really fed up with Arenas. When are we ever going to get a real leader on the team? First, Arenas says some bad things about Butler, presumably because the team is losing ball games. Now Arenas can't even make free throws when the game is on the line. Arenas must be talking too much and taking advice from Clinton Portis!

The Wiz are very disappointing this year. They're also pretty gut wrenching lately with all the close losses. Any word on when we get Mike Miller back?

LOL...why exactly did you think this? I said it a few years ago, the Wizards are disfunctional, and Arenas is not a leader. The wizards prove me right year in and year out. They are 7-16 right now, and not a playoff caliber team. You won't win many games when 2 of your top 3 scorers are shooting at a .414% and .402% clip. (.402% being Arenas who is averaging the most shots per game)
This is simple, you should have traded Arenas when he was worth a ton to other teams, now he's not. This guy is a career 42.6% shooter...he's the new Antoine Walker. He puts up good "numbers" to snow a lot of people, but has next to nothing for substance to lead a team. When you look deeper, you see serious issues. He only averages 5.4 assists per game too. He does NOT make others better around him, something leaders do.
