In his latest blog, which was published today: Gilbert Arenas basically said Antawn Jamison holds the key to both players' futures in the District. If Jamison -- a teammate of Arenas' in six of Gil's professional seasons (Golden State and Washington) -- comes back to the Wizards, then so will Arenas. If not, then Agent Zero says there is no point in him returning.
Here's a line from the blog:
"The future is the future. I want to be back in Washington, but weird things happen in free agency. If Antawn is not back, then there's no point in me coming back because he's part of my success, too. When you're doing pick and roll with a player like him, they can't double you, they can't trap you because you have a pick and pop guy who can shoot the three at your four position. My success is because of him too. If he doesn't come back, I'm not coming back."
So, there you have it. Two-for-1 deal kinda? Abe Polin and Ernie Grunfeld say they'll do whatever they need to do to bring both players back, so if that's the case, then Gil can enjoy his new pool -- which in his blog he mentions is still under construction -- as a member of the Wizards.

Is this the same Mike Jones that occasionally hit open 3 pointers for the Terps from 03-07? Or is this Mike Jones the rapper?
