NEW YORK -- At nearly the exact same moment that Avery Johnson went on ESPN's NBA Shootaround show Friday night and demonstrably raised the possibility of the New York Knicks making a push for Gilbert Arenas, that very same topic was a matter of discussion between myself and Knicks president Donnie Walsh.

And although Walsh didn't exactly endorse the notion, he certainly didn't dismiss it.

"I don't know if he's available, and I don't know if he's going to be able to play. There are a lot of questions, and we'll have to see as time passes what the story is, but I know this: When I had guys in the same situation, I traded all of them," Walsh said.

The difficulty of the Wizards finding a taker in an Arenas trade was heightened by the events of Friday afternoon when Arenas pleaded guilty to a felony gun possession charge, and Judge Robert E. Morin scheduled sentencing for March 26.

Arenas remains suspended indefinitely, but commissioner David Stern will eventually have to decide how long of a punishment fits the crime. A 50-game suspension would have the effect of wiping out the possibility of Arenas returning this season, but a less severe suspension (my early guess was 30 games, and I'm sticking with it) would allow for Arenas to return to the court this season. And with the relationship between Arenas and the Wizards organization seemingly headed toward a divorce, the most palatable option for Washington would be to try to find a team willing to trade for the three-time All-Star who has four years and $80 million remaining on his contract -- but who will have sat out the majority of the past two and a half seasons.

"I would assume they are going to go out and try to develop it, because they have to develop the market. That's what I had to do with [Ron] Artest and Stephen [Jackson]," Walsh told ESPN.com. "I mean, nobody's going to call you up and say 'I want the guy. So you've got to call up, and it takes time."

Walsh said the situation was comparable to the time when he was president of the Indiana Pacers and was forced by ownership to trade Artest after the infamous Palace brawl, and again after Jackson was arrested for firing a handgun outside a strip club. (Jackson eventually pleaded guilty to a felony and was suspended for 7 games, the league office apparently deciding that his actions were not egregious enough to merit the minimum 10-game suspension mandated in the collective bargaining agreement for any player convicted of a violent felony.)

Walsh ended up trading Artest for to Sacramento for Peja Stojakovic, and Jackson was dealt to Golden State in a multi-player deal that brought back Mike Dunleavy and Troy Murphy.

"The first pass, nobody had interest," Walsh recalled of the Artest talks. "But you keep calling, and then something happens to a franchise, and they go 'Yeah, you know what, we might be interested.'"

Walsh agreed with the assessment that with so much in limbo, Arenas -- for the time being -- is virtually untradeable.

"Temporarily, because you've got to see what happens here, because I don't know what the league is going to do, I don't know what the court is going to do, but after it's all cleared up then it's easier to answer that question."

The Knicks remain committed to clearing as much salary cap space as they can for the summer of 2010, and they'll have enough room to go after another max-contract player in the summer of 2011 if they keep Eddy Curry and Jared Jeffries on the roster for the remainder of this season and all of next season.

If they traded Curry and Jeffries (combined 2010-11 salaries of $18.15 million ) for Arenas (2010-11 salary of $17.73 million), they would in effect be taking themselves out of the 2011 free agent market because Arenas is owed $19.3 in '11-12, $20.8 million in '12-13, and $22.3 million in '13-14. But one prominent league official suggested that if Arenas was amenable to modifying his contract, agreeing to a team option in each of the final two or three years of his deal (Arenas currently has an early termination option following the '11-12 season), his tradeability would increase significantly. But Arenas would thereby be putting $40-61 million of guaranteed money at risk, making for one hell of a huge financial gamble.

But Arenas is eventually going to try and resurrect his career somewhere, and New York -- the Knicks need a point guard -- cannot be dismissed as a possible option.
I hate the dude and his contract..

but I'd be lying to say that moving Jared and Eddy for him, doesn't at least seem a LITTLE inviting.

Came back from the game disappointed we took an L. The first half we was getting no calls and the raptors had every call. Bargnani went off on us on italiannight, looked like he didn't miss a shot. Duhon looked sluggish all game running in circles and doing nothing. Gallo started off slow and caught a lil runbut al started to ball hog it all game. I was def sitting in one of the loudest sections wit the defense chant. Dudes and little kids be yelling out reckless*%*+ to the players and ref

I dunno about arenas u gotta ask bron about that first.
 
no to gil... were tryin to move bad contracts not take them in order to prepare for 2010...i would only get gil if his contract was terminated like how we gotsprewell a decade ago....
 
if we want to get over being a joke franchise for 10 years we say no gilbert arenas

this dude is a borderline mental case in DC, now you wana bring him into the big city lights and an even crazier media? #%!@ is gonna end up bad. dantonican't even deal with nate, imagine gilbert and dantoni. dude be pooping in shoes and stuff man i don't want him anywhere near us.
 
I don't see how he can co-exist w/Gallo or Lee but I'd take Bargnani on this team any day of the week. If he knew how to rebound or guard a chairhe'd be the complete package.

My +@$ is not going to anymore games, lost all the games I went to this year.
 
I don't want gil on this team.... We need a PG with some consistency and a good assist to turnover ratio.... Duhon is cool is strecthes.... He's not astarter period.... Shouldve gotten sessions for the low this summer... Develop dougie on the bench ... Get J hill some burn cause he ain't doing nothingbut looking like a joke on the end of the bench... Curry is getting the steph treatment and he doesn't care cuz he's a lazy bum who couldnt buy ajumpshot... Lock Lee up cuz he's worth it... Throw lebron max money plus a lil under tha table.
