Gilbert Arenas’s trial for possession of weapons, which will take place on March 26, makes it almost impossible to return to the slopes this season, but there are rumors about his next team in the NBA: ESPN points to the Orlando Magic.
He has never broken a contract for misbehavior, so it provides a legal battle between Wizards and the union
If Arenas avoids jail, which is not yet clear, after the March 26 trial, and if David Stern lets you return to play in the NBA, the base would have little time to return this season, ending in the third week of April.
A Arenas it must still charge more than $ 80 million in the next four seasons
All the rumors indicate that the Washington Wizards will begin a court battle to break the player’s contract. Although all NBA contracts have a clause whereby it can be extinguished if the players have a serious misconduct, has never been done in the NBA, so it provides a tough legal battle between the Wizards and Players Association to end the contract of Arenas, who will remain to collect more than $ 80 million in the next four seasons with the Wizards.
If the contract is broken (Adidas has already broken its agreement Agent 0) and the player returned to the NBA as a free agent sure many teams would want to sign him. There has been talk of the New York Knicks, but Marc Stein, arguably the most reliable reporter in the NBA, said that one of the most trusted people in the NBA in Arenas is Otis Hill, ‘general manager’ of the Orlando Magic, and that you both love a longer match in Orlando as they did in the Golden State Warriors.
