Free Gilbert Now!!!

Welcome to my blog everyone. This is a new thing to me but I would like to use this opportunity to express my feelings and gather everyone's opinions as well.

For those who have no idea what I am talking about and have little knowledge, here is a small insight of the story surrounding the Great PG Gilbert Arenas.

According to many posts, the incident started on Dec 21st(3 days after watching him return to play the Warriors) which he admitted to have stored guns in his locker and took them out to play a joke on a teammate. On Janurary 6th, 2010, NBA commissioner suspended Gilbert indefinitely until further investigation. Gilbert also pleaded guilty to single count of the city's strict gun laws as part of a plead bargain in D.C. and he will be sentence in March.

So that was a brief description of what is going on.

True or not about the stories that are flowing out there right now, the NBA and the Wizards should give Gilbert a second chance. Everyone has made mistakes in their lives because no one is perfect. Example: Stephen Jackson had the famous brawl in Detroit, shooting guns outside of a strip club. Chris Andersen had drug problems. Both of these players had issues but they were given second and third chances in life and also as players in the NBA.

There are also speculations that the Wizards will try to void his contract which has 4 years left with about $80 million. I am not sure how this will play out with the relationship Gilbert has with the Wizards family but I sure hope that he gets back into playing with which ever team he might end up with. I also believe that no one should have something they love taken away from them if they did not harm anyone. In this case, it was merely a mistake and a joke went too far. The guns were not loaded, believe the guy when he says he wants to get rid of the guns for his children sake.

Gilbert is a genuine nice guy. I am not saying this because I know him personally, but I did have a few encounters with him during the first two seasons of his NBA career when he was with the Warriors. (Come back to the Warriors!!!) Gilbert is a good person by nature, he is a family man first, a hard worker that everyone knows.

What do you think the Wizards should do with Gilbert?

What team do you think Gilbert would fit in best besides the Wizards?
