Gilbert Arenas

Nearly four months later, Gilbert Arenas learned his fate for violating D.C’s firearm laws Friday. The Wizards guard will avoid jail time, though he received a sentence of 30 days in a halfway house, 400 hours of community service, and a $5,000 fine. Arenas is said to be lucky to have avoided jail time, as per the letter of the law, anywhere from 6 months to 2 years is often recommended for the offense.

While his legal fate has been cleared up, his future as a Washington Wizard isn’t the same. There are some that feel that Arenas has played his last game in D.C, whether the team tries to buy him out of his contract, or finds a team crazy enough to trade for him.
