fine, you can build around gilbert but he is not worth 6 years 124 million period.
How about baron davis money at 5 year 65 million?? yeah baron davis is older but you can't tell me arenas is way better than him, matter of fact i see them equal to what they can bring to a team
Baron Davis is better than Gilbert. He's better than Nash too. He's right there with Chris Paul and Deron Williams as the best point guard in the league. The contract he signed is fantastic for the LA Clippers.
If only the true top players in the NBA earned max contracts then Gilbert isn't worth his pay but it doesn't work like that. Ray Allen is on a max contract and we've got two other max contracts next to him and a quality supporting cast around him. There's more than enough room in the salary cap to have two max contract players on your team, by 30 teams, which is 60 players in the league. Is Gilbert Arenas worth that? Yes, of course he is. Can you build a top team around him while he's on that pay? Yes, of course you can.
Gilbert Arenas is perennial All-Star and he is an All-Pro level player. He's worth max money.
