Gilbert Arenas tweets that Wizards leaked gun story

But the idea of management “wanting to get him”… get real, dude.

…except maybe not to bring guns in the locker room. If you’re excuse is “Other people did it but I got in trouble for it because I make too much money” then you really just don’t get life. The guy is completely turned in on himself. Now he’s calling his kids “brats” on his Twitter account.

Good example, Gil. Get a laugh at all costs, even if it’s at the expense of your kids, wife/girlfriend/whatever you call her, employer, etc.

To everyone else: being “real” or “honest” doesn’t make you a good person. Especially if you’re honestly a bad person!

Just shut up Gilbert. Really.

I sincerely and profusely apologize that I didn’t forgive you for the gun incident and giving us the worst season in Wizards history. I know EVERYONE brings guns to the arena and shows them off at will. But of course, you were the star player two years ago. We were just going to let you do whatever you wanted because you were our number one star, just like other teams let their number one stars bring guns to the arena, tap on those thick butts that some of those hot team employees have and call them anything they want. Damn! some of those girls are fine!!! Hell, I guess the star players can take steroids and if their performance is so good on the court, if a positive test shows up, maybe the team can pull off a Diana Taurasi and get the lab in trouble instead!

At the end of the day, I as a fan of course have to just let go of the gun situation, merely because the ping pong balls fell our way and that John Wall is now the franchise player and the second coming of Jesus, who hasn’t done anything wrong in his life! Oh yes, I just forgot, you’re right Gil. John brought guns to the Verizon Center to protect himself despite the fact that guns are illegal in DC and he’s also probably underage, I forgot that he fondled women in a resort during the offseason against their will, and he got more muscular this offseason from taking some testosterone and HGH shots! But of course, he’s our franchise player who is healthy right now and money is to be made out of him. Ted’s gonna have his back, and so John can do whatever he wants! You are the voice of reason Gilbert. I hit a state of nirvana. You aren’t the bad guy. Mr. Pollin, Ted, and Ernie and fans like me are. I will acknowledge, I am the worst Wizards fan in the world for being angry at you for this. You of course are the star who put our team back on the map after MJ got fired! You are the first NBA star to be a blogging extraordinaire, and now the King of Twitter! I acknowledge you always tell it how it is, and you should be able to say whatever you want! Awww. I’m just so sorry. I guess I am the one who must be asking for forgiveness. I must shut up and just accept everything that comes, and just pay my money to watch a bad team with no direction. You of course are blameless. I am just so. so. sorry…. I need to go cry now.

Wait a minute, I think the nirvana was a false alarm…. I think Caron and Antawn just smacked me upside the head and they told me something different. They told me that they worked their asses off and bought us a playoff berth that we arguably didn’t deserve in 2008. They didn’t have the most flamboyant of personalities, but they played as hard and as well as they could so when you came back for YOUR OWN ILL-ADVISED REHAB which got your knee in WORSE SHAPE, perhaps we could have done something special. John Wall also by all accounts is leading the wrong way. Oh I just got smacked again by Antonio Daniels, the backup point guard that season too! He was truly an unsung hero. Just a warrior on the court. He may not have been a 20 ppg scorer, but he was very good at controlling the ball and kept composure for us! Not to mention when he couldn’t find an NBA gig last season, he played his ass off in the D League for a head coach (who was a WOMAN) and finally got a 10 day with the Sixers! You meanwhile think you were still entitled to be the star of the Wizards even LAST SEASON and you also think you should have been playing 30 minutes a game for the Orlando Magic! JJ Redick, the guy most guys on this board hate only because he played at Duke, played a lot better than you last year, on BOTH sides of the ball!

Gilbert, you had your opportunity here, and you got injured. I get that it happens. Sometimes you can’t get back from them 100% ever. Fine, but at least try hard when you’re back on the court and I can live with that. You weren’t playing too badly in 2009-2010…..

But of course, oh yes. You only played 32 games out of 82, because you got suspended for the gun incident that we turned you in for because we wanted a way out of your contract. So you’ve apologized for doing it, but now you’re saying that all the other teams’ players are doing it. And because of your past injuries, I guess Mr. Pollin’s family just wanted to find a way to just stick it to you, and they found their way by publicizing gungate. BS! Last time I checked, I think the players were told CLEARLY that they weren’t supposed to bring guns in there. Apparently teammates were very close to the situation where you wanted Javaris to PICK 1. If teammates weren’t involved, then why the hell were they all testifying in court, some at length? Jesus Christ! So when you apologized to the judge, you submitted reference letters from many fans and other associates. I only found one basketball player who could write a letter for you, and that’s Alana Beard, who last time I checked, wasn’t on the Wizards and isn’t an NBA player. WHERE’S CARON? WHERE’S ANTAWN? WHERE’S RICHARD JEFFERSON? WHERE’S ANYONE ON ANY NBA TEAM!? I can only interpret it as this. You hurt our team in 2009-2010, and you did it in such a fashion to the point where you’re not worthy of getting that respect back. And you’re not getting it back from me. ESPECIALLY NOW!!!!!!!!!!

I’m sick and tired of hearing you talk, taking shots indirectly and directly at our team and at Mr. Pollin, and it’s all your doing, and you acknowledge it. Am I a fan who thinks you need to stop talking so you don’t hurt yourself?! YOU’RE GODDAMN RIGHT I AM! Do you think I’m gonna forgive you for gungate, even if we got John Wall after it? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF AND MAKING THE REST OF YOUR NBA CAREER WORTHWHILE AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HELP A TEAM GET TOWARDS A CHAMPIONSHIP!!! I THINK WE’RE DOING JUST FINE AND WE DON’T TRY TO THROW OUR STARS INTO THE MUD IN TOTAL DYSFUNCTION LIKE THE REDSKINS! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but unless the Wizards sought to void Arenas’s contract (which they didn’t), there would be no point in leaking the Gungate story. Gilbert thinks that the team deliberately made him a toxic asset that would be untradable for nearly a year. Come on.

They’d have terminated his contract for cause. Union or no union, they had enough to do it. Funny thing is, the only reason Arenas makes his current salary – one of the largest in the league – is because Wizards management showed some restraint and chose not to void his contract.

I replied to Gil’s Twitter rant & he sent me a private message saying that I need to “ask Ted what was his role”. I have no doubt that the Wizards played a part in the whole fiasco but I was just telling him that it’s time to move on.
