NBA has suspended Gilbert Arenas indefinitely until investigation ends

[paperstreet]

IMO, stern should have waited until the investigation ends

Who cares. This is what should have happened, anyway.

Still $80M strong.....you think he gives a **** right now?

Accordingly, I am suspending Mr. Arenas indefinitely, without pay, effective immediately

That was probably the plan until Gil made a joke of it.

[Im so nba'd out]

wow 3 str8 seasons of gilbert missing games

[oh the horror]

And people didnt think this was going to happen? Anyone over the age of 15 should know, you dont play around with authorities. Especially higher ups that are responsible for writing your checks.

David "Hibachi" Stern

Burning Gil's ass already.

They should also know not to play around with guns.

Just sayin...

[oh the horror]

Arenas is probably done. Dude has missed SO many games at this point, and now he is suspended until this matter is dealt with...which could take awhile...and then after that, they could suspend him further?!


Im willing to guess that his career is probably a wash.

Yeah, but how much will he stand to lose this season? 10 mil maybe? That's a lot of money obviously, but he will be payed tons in the future. Based off everything we have seen, past and present, they won't be able to void his contract.

So why hasnt Delonte "Rambo" West been suspended?

People should be aware of a lot things, but that obviously doesn't prevent anything stupid from happening.

because he didnt bring guns into the arena

Yup. Stern obviously feels that for the sake of the league's image he has to take a stand. The picture of Gil in the gun pose has been getting a lot of national play today. It's almost like Arenas is mocking Stern and everyone else who has expressed concern. Although it's not just Gil that looks like an idiot in that photo, the rest of Bullets, um, Wizards looks equally moronic laughing it up.

Can't compare guns in an arena to West driving around with licensed guns. West's trial is coming up soon I believe. Arenas' mouth is the reason he's suspended so soon.

Jesus he was earning 150 k a game... people earn that in 2 years
