I just wish somebody could provide a report of him not being ready
There were a lot of reports that Darius Miles was ready to play and be a basketball player again. Turns out they were right but after 2 1/2 years and multiple years of rehabbing and being away from NBA speed and physicality it was pretty obvious he wasn't going to be the Darius Miles of 2005 and 2006, before the injury.
That's why the skepticism. We don't hate the guy but we aren't convinced by reports of the team that owes him tens of millions of dollars to be a top ten player, that he will be that player. They and all the people around him have to say those things or else ticket sales in Washington are going to plummet and the team is going to lose huge amounts of money.
Darius Miles had a career threatening knee injury, where doctors actually came out and said he will never play again, very, very different from agent zero.
This is not ten years ago the procedures are better and players are returning just as strong. Amare came back from micro fracture surgery. Agent 0 is coming back from a torn meniscus which isn't as bad.
I agree with Rondo that I think he will be healthy, for the same reason KG will be healthy. They have the same amount of injury history, (although Gilbert had one injury that took several injuries to fix it was only one injury), Arenas is younger and he's been resting it for longer. I don't think anyone on this board thinks KG won't be back at the same level so why not Gilbert?
I feel that you guys are killing the Arenas pick a little too much so I had to defend the person getting killed.
