A few days ago, I published a blog entry saying that the Knicks should sign Mo Williams. However, he is still playing with the Clippers and it doesn't look like they are going to waive him.Now, I think that the Knicks should focus on trying to sign free agent point guard Gilbert Arenas.
Arenas, 29, split last season with the Wizards and the Magic after injuries and legal troubles had kept him off the court. He came off the bench most games in Orlando and D.C. and didn't quite play like he had in seasons before. Recently, the Magic waived him via the amnesty clause and Arenas has announced that he wants to sign with either the Knicks, the Lakers, the Heat, or whatever team trades for Dwight Howard.
Arenas is a 3-time All-Star and even though he will probably never play like the player he was in his prime again, he can still help the Knicks. He was widely criticized for his mediocre play with the Magic last season, but he still played fairly well and I think that he could shine if put into the right situation.
The Knicks could be a very good fit for Arenas and he could help bring a title to New York. If given a starting role, he might start putting up some of the numbers that he used to and if played off the bench he could be a solid backup or the best third-string point guard in the league. Also, he could play some shooting guard if needed.
In conclusion, I think that Arenas is worth the risk and the Knicks should sign him. Plus, the preseason has already started and there aren't a lot of good free agents left.
And yes, I did copy and paste Gilbert Arenas' head on a picture of Larry Hughes.
Have any thoughts on Gilbert Arenas possibly signing with the Knicks? Leave a comment below and tell me what you think.
