Magloire To The Wizards?
One would undoubtedly involve center Jamaal Magloire, whom Harris would not hesitate to move if the right deal came along. Washington is said to be interested. The other possible trade, according to a source, would be of a more "surprising" nature. Asked if his trade options involving Magloire had dried up, Harris said: "No. I think the thing was once you got into the draft, it was more focused in on that (draft). I didn't have anything for Jamaal relating to the draft. So when we got into the draft process, it really had no bearing on whether we could move Jamaal or not. (The conversations were) strictly draft picks, future draft picks and things like that." Harris did try to move into the first round or at least up in the second round. "A lot of things were going on," he said. Harris said that he was among those who were on the phone with the Blazers, who made six trades on draft night. "I was trying to do a couple things with Portland," he said. "They seemed to want to trade their whole team or at least acquire seven or eight players. I mean, it's incredible what was going on. I talked to (Portland scout) John Gabriel, and I said 'John, it's impressive; how are you keeping your roster updated?' They need all kinds of tags and erasers with all that stuff going on."

Arenas missed a court hearing Tuesday on a charge of resisting an officer without violence, and a warrant was briefly issued before the arraignment was rescheduled. The Associated Press is reporting that the Wizards contacted the judge on Gilbert Arenas' behalf and told him the player didn't receive a written notice regarding the court date, Wizards president of basketball operations Ernie Grunfeld said in a statement. Slom then lifted the arrest warrant, canceled the $2,000 bond and rescheduled the arraignment. A date has not been set. Slom said missed first court appearances and rescheduled arraignments are common, especially for people from out of state. "We are very confident this issue will be resolved," Grunfeld said.

Just two days ago, the Washington Times reported that Arenas may elect to opt out if the club wasn't contending for a championship. "I don't want to be like Garnett, getting close like he did a couple of years ago and then seeing his team go backwards," Arenas said. "A.I. went to the Finals that one year and now he's not even making the playoffs. I don't want to be in that position here. I want us to be like Dallas, like San Antonio, places where players want to come play." Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Wizards Jun 2006 Archive

The Milwaukee Bucks have one - and possibly two - trades still in the works that could come to fruition in the days ahead, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. 
While Gilbert Arenas is hinting at bolting Washington when his contract expires, the Wizards continue to go to bat for their star guard.
