Alston to the Heat.

Before the game, Arenas was surrounded by his teammates when he knelt on the court and pointed his index fingers at them, as if he were firing guns. A photograph shows nearly all of the players laughing or smiling.

The official said the fines would be contingent in part on whether Arenas and his teammates planned it ahead of time.

This whole arenas thing has really been blown up. As usual, the media always plays a major part in this. Jail time? For an unloaded weapon? Now the Wizards want to dump his $100m contract? Gosh, teams should at least try and stand by their players.

Arenas on the other hand in hindsight, should have known better.

I watched that game. Some Lakers players had some weird body language going on. #24 had an awesome 13pt run in the third quarter. He seemed to take the loss really personal. Baron Davis sure rallied his troops for that game as well.

I thought the fans were the most interesting bit of that game. It was almost like a Lakers home game (big deal, so they switch up the court) minus the celebs in the front rows :D

Looking forward to the return game coming up soon.

It was in the New York Post, reported by the same guy who claimed that Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittendon pulled guns and pointed them at each other.

What really galls me is how much Cavaliers fans are begging for Antawn Jamison. I mean, he would catapult them to elite status but COME ON MAN.

You're right. Here's what i found...

On a post detailing Kobe Bryant's high volume of shots the last two games, none of the initial comments regarded the Mamba's latest shooting woes or his right-index-finger injury.

But that's perfectly understandable. Instead, all the comments were in relation to a possible Andrew Bynum trade for the Toronto Raptors' Chris Bosh. Now, all the Lakers need to do is find a way to get LeBron James, and Lakers fans should be set.

The New York Post story, reported by longtime NBA writer Peter Vecsey, cited a Lakers source indicating the team is trying to acquire Bosh before the Feb. 18 trade deadline:

"In itself, the one-for-one swap is impossible to make. Bynum’s “base year” essentially allows L.A. to take back but half of his salary this year ($12.5M). Of course, that restriction is lifted when next year’s salary ($13.7M) activates come July 1, at which time a sign-and-trade transaction would be feasible."

With Bosh set to be a free agent next summer, Vecsey suggests the Raptors' likelihood of protecting "its principal asset" might be "impractical," giving Toronto reason to believe that if Bosh's departure is inevitable, they may as well get something for it. And the reason Bynum appears to be the most realistic choice for the Lakers? Vecsey describes the other options --- Sasha Vujacic (one year left at a reported $5.475 million), Jordan Farmar and Adam Morrison (both free agents next summer) --- as "marginal goods".

An e-mail from Toronto team President Bryan Colangelo to Vecsey stating he is "not actively seeking a deal or discussing Bosh with any team, much less the Lakers" suggests the team is waiting for others to make offers and then follow suit.

ESPN's Marc Stein reports the Houston Rockets are one of the interested parties, even if a Bosh trade doesn't come with a guarantee that they can re-sign him this summer. The same story notes in a separate table that the Lakers owe $21,430,778 in luxury taxes unless they can make a move before the Feb. 18 deadline to get under the tax threshold, which dropped from $71.15 million last season to $69.9 million this season. The Lakers currently have a reported $91.3-million payroll.

Gtfoh. Where'd you hear that? Bosh's contract is too big isn't it? Bynum is making like 58mill on his contract.

i agree cavs are trying to pry away Jamison from the wiz. obviously the wiz wont get much back (expiring and late first rounders at best).

it would be really stupid for the wizards to trade to teams in the same confrence/division.
