He isnt the best player ever but any team with a weak offense he could easily take over. What if the Blazers could get him next season? They are well within their cap last as far as I know and why wouldnt a star pg wanna play with Greg Oden,Brandon Roy,and Lemarcus Alridge?</div>They don't have as much money as you may have originally thought, and it would extremely tough to sign Arenas to his 6 year/$15+M a year deal, then give Roy/Oden/Aldridge what they want in 2-3 years. Not to mention the other players on the team. Raef LaFrentz will be pulling in over $24 million over the next 2 years, Zach Randolph has 4 years left on his contract, making a total of roughly $62 million. They don't have the money to pay them, extend their young stars when they are eligible, and pay Arenas what he wants.
