Gilbert Arenas: I think Pat Riley hasn’t updated his software. I think he still believes it’s the 1980s or 1990s
Gilbert Arenas: Yeah, so I think Pat hasn’t updated his software. I think he still believes it’s the 1980s or 1990s, where money controls the players. Back then, you needed that million dollars, so you did whatever the team told you. That’s how those Knicks teams operated—players had less control. You thought you were signing up for South Beach, but nah—you just got sentenced to a five-to-ten-year bid. 'Here, put your handcuffs on. Forget the beach—you just got fooled.' It’s like Loki casting an illusion: they sold you one thing over the phone, and when you arrive, you realize—nah, this is prison.

More on this storyline
Gilbert Arenas: Jimmy? He didn’t even have 20% of the talent that Wade had—or that Wade and LeBron had together—and he still made it to the Finals twice. If we’re talking about the guy who cooked the best meal with the least amount of ingredients, it’s Jimmy Butler, hands down. That team he took to the Finals? That was an AAU team, a YMCA team. And look what happened after—everybody left, and none of them are good right now. Around the league, they all landed somewhere else, but none of them are actually productive. And that is the roster he carried to the Finals twice. -via YouTube / January 30, 2025
Gilbert Arenas: You have this incredible selling point. Like, LA—its selling point is Hollywood. Whatever money you might lose in taxes or contract negotiations, you can make it back in endorsements. That’s how the Lakers and Clippers pitch it: 'Okay, you lose $20 million here, but we’ve got movies, actors, sponsorship deals—you’ll make it back in endorsements.' Miami’s got the beach, the weather, the women. You mean to tell me you can’t sell that to 19-to-30-year-olds? Are you kidding me? Instead, it feels like as soon as you get off the plane, you’re handcuffed. Like, you tricked me! -via YouTube / January 30, 2025
