I have mixed emotions about Arenas. While I think what he did was patently stupid, I really believe that he is just not a smart human being. By no means should that be an excuse for his inexcusable choice of bringing guns to the locker room and "fooling" around with his teammate with the guns. I just believe that he is almost completely devoid of any common sense. Why he made light of the incident, posted on Twitter, and posed with his hands like guns before a game is beyond me.



At the same time, he has not appeared to be a thug, like say a Ron Artest. I think the initial reaction by David Stern was correct and Arenas should have a long time away from the NBA to contemplate his lack of intelligence. My suggestion is to suspend him for one year: the rest of this season until January 1, 2011.
