Arenas must be talking too much and taking advice from Clinton Portis!

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.
