From Jonathan Givony Hearing some chatter from a trusted NBA source about a potential Gilbert Arenas for Vince Carter trade in the works. Wonder how real it is. http://twitter.com/DraftExpress/status/16898993454
How much longer is Arenas suspended for? Wasn't it indefinite? From a Magic standpoint, I'd make the trade, but I'd be hesitant at the same time. Arenas can provide an upgrade over Carter, who's really been showing his age. But, will Arenas set off a bomb in that locker room? Risky, risky.
According to Michael Lee of The Washington Post, the Wizards and Magic recently discussed a trade that would send Gilbert Arenas to Orlando for Vince Carter. However, those talks were just exploratory conversations by both sides and nothing is going on right now. Magic general manager Otis Smith is close with Arenas and that has lead to speculation that he might try to trade for the guard. One agent tells Lee that an Arenas-Carter deal is "not going to happen." Source: Washington Post
