Gilbert Arenas decided to opt out of his contract with the Washington Wizards, however his intentions appear to be eventually re-sign with the Wizards. Arenas, who just finished his second consecutive injury-plagued season, will likely start his negotiations by asking for max amount of dollars.
During the 2007-08 season, Arenas only played 13 games and finished with averages of 19.4 points and 5.1 assists. Arenas also shot 39.8% from the field and 28.2% from beyond the three-point arc. Compared to his past few seasons, this was an extremely poor season out of Arenas.
Although he has struggled with knee injuries in the past couple seasons, Arenas is only 26-years-old and there’s hope that he’ll be able to return his top form. As a fantasy basketball player, he’s no longer an elite pick heading into the 2008-09 season. That said, a healthy Arenas is a player who can dominate in the fantasy world.
