Now that John Wall is a Wizard, the idea is that the team will start him and Gilbert Arenas in the backcourt.

Arenas is more of a scoring point guard, so he can occupy more of a shooting guard role for the team now.

With the team trading for Kirk Hinrich, they'll have a solid role player off the bench who can mentor Wall.

But there have also been rumblings the Wizards will get a fresh start after Arenas' gun incident last season that warranted a long suspension by trading him.

Yet, he has five years and $80 million left on his contract. Not exactly an easy one to move, especially with the incident and Gil's history of injury.

A buyout seems unlikely as well, as he's seemingly owed too much money for something reasonable to be worked out.

But in a series of tweets on Thursday evening, ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher thinks a trade can and will be done.

One possible team could be the Magic. GM Otis Smith is an Arenas fan from their time together in Golden State, and there were reportedly Arenas-Vince Carter trade talks this week.
