Gilbert Arenas said players on the team had "hidden agendas," noting that eight players on the team are free agents following the season.

"I guess when you start losing everyone wants to start pointing fingers everywhere else," Arenas said. "I converted my game to try to get people involved, but at the end of the day, to be honest, this is the same team since three years ago. We added a couple of pieces, but everybody else is basically the same player.

"I'm sitting here thinking 'Do I have to go in attack mode like I was two years ago to get us over this hump?' I hope not. I hope we're strong enough mentally that we can get over this."

Gilbert: A bit more dramatic than BRoy. :devilwink:

When asked about sacrificing his game in order for the team to win, Arenas replied, "I think the only person who actually had to sacrifice is me. Everybody else can just play their game."

That's not sitting well with at least one player. Wizards center Brendan Haywood said players need to "check their ego at the door."

I'll take Butler, please.
 
You know, if the Wizards had a "true" point guard, Gil wouldn't have to change his game. I wonder how Miller would fit there... :devilwink:

Caron is having a pretty down year shooting the ball, and I'm not sure he's quite the floor spacer that Nate seems to favor, but Tough Juice would be helluva nice add who can create his own shot, can play pretty damn good defense (or used to), and has been a pretty good distributor.

Miller and Travis for Butler would work ... Hard to say what Grunfeld is looking for though.
