The Saga Continues...
It's a question that comes my way more than any other and it's not : "Hey Ivan, what's up?"
"When is Gilbert coming back?"
My response is usually the same: "Man, I have no idea and neither does anyone else."
That, folks, is the real deal here. As you may know, Caron Butler recently was on the John Thompson show (I guess Clinton Portis wasn' t available) where he stated his belief that Arenas isn't coming back this season. This just a few days after Butler said he did think Gilbert would be back. Go figure.
Here's the deal: no one really knows. I've heard so many different things, my head is going to explode. Here is what I do know:
- Gilbert isn't rushing back. He feels that he's been burned twice now by coming back too quickly or by rushing through rehab and it's not going to happen again, especially not for a a seven-win lottery bound team. Even if the team's medical people come to him and say: "you're cleared," expect Arenas to be very cautious. Remember, he was "cleared" early last season and then re-injured himself and had to undergo another surgery.
- The team (Ernie Grunfeld and the Pollin family) absolutely want Arenas back on the floor when he's ready (whenever that is and however that is defined). With Grunfeld's strong urging, Pollin gave the guy $111 million and now he has a badly performing team and a building with no sizzle and smaller crowds by the night. My colleague at the Times, Mike Jones, said a couple of his friends walked up and bought $88 seats for $10 bucks a piece the other night.
I believe it. It's not good for business and it certainly isn't going to help sell season ticket packages for next season if Arenas hasn't played at all this season. I know a few folks feel ripped off as it is.
Stay tuned......

*all jokes aside, good to see Nick Young FINALLY producing under Tapps....but what does the kid have to do to crack the starting lineup? Caron at SG ain't working. Also, what happens to NY's minutes once DeBrick comes back? I don't understand how we started DeBrick for so long this season...hopefully he's out of DC real soon.
