At least with Arenas, there was the chance of him getting MUCH better — and increasing his trade value. I think and hope Arenas will do very well indeed in Orlando. But he was not in a situation here that permitted him to explode, assuming of course that he could.

As far as Lewis goes, I hope that a reduction in the pressure to win it all and the presence of a young point guard to get him the ball as a first or second option will result in at least a statistical renaissance for him and respectability for the team. So his 3-point attempts per game have dropped to 4. He is 31, and this is his 13th year in the League. Meanwhile — we traded Arenas, a 17 point per game scorer that also gave us 6.

They played fine together… and were getting better. More time on the court together is all they needed….. Now Arenas can play for a ring. I think its great he was traded to a contender, but my focus is on the team I followed since I was a kid.

Like it or not, I was born in DC. Lewis really could be a factor on this team if this team plays every game they way they played the miami game. By Mike Prada on Howard just returned. McGee was sub par. They can play better than that. They played defense. That was better than before. If he had stayed here, he would have just gotten more and more frustrated, and who knows what would have happened. In the end, I think this is a win-win trade, but Orlando comes out further ahead.

Wet dream scenario: Thanks to Gil, Orlando wins it all for the next three or four years, then we take over after that to win the next seven or eight.

Comments and so I will By hystericalmaniac on I wait for nothing By hystericalmaniac on I think this is great for the Organization I'm sad too I agree that it shows that the organization just wanted to move on without him.

I hate that it came to this And we save real money. Could Ernie have gotten more. I do hear you We will know shortly. Don't hold your breath on Lewis This changed the course of the next decade in the NBA, as Chris Paul was then traded to the Clippers several days later, and we never saw Paul paired with Bryant in the Purple and Gold.

He [Dan Fagan] said it was unfair. He said, 'What was in the background of all that was Dwight Howard being traded for Bynum. Remember, I'm in Orlando. This was when the amnesty was coming. So Orlando, they're trying to figure out if they were going to throw me in the deal and force [the] Lakers: if you want Dwight you're gonna have to take Gilbert's contract too. I was probably gonna get amnesty That was the reason it got nixed.
