Jamison Received Interest From Other Teams

Wizards forward Antawn Jamison claims that other teams were interested in him this offseason, according to HoopsHype.com.

"I think that from the beginning everyone pretty much knew that I wanted to go back," Jamison said of re-signing with Washington. "There was interest from other teams, yes, but there was no offer on the table."

Jamison also hinted that he and Gilbert Arenas wanted to return to the Wizards from Day One.

"You know, when I re-signed I talked with Gilbert and he congratulated me," Jamison said. "But there was no need to say something like 'C'mon man, you've got stay'... We have been playing together for a long time and we feel we are in the right direction."

Arenas: This Is Going To Be Kwame's Year

Wizards' guard Gilbert Arenas wrote in his most recent blog that he believes former number one overall pick Kwame Brown will enjoy success in Detroit, according to NBA.com.

"I like that deal for Detroit and for Kwame. He’s in a quieter city now, he’s 26-years old, he’s on a veteran team, he’s growing up," Arenas wrote of the agreement.

Brown will make $4 million with the Pistons this season, with an option to earn the same the following season.

"In the past he had the spot light on him because he was a No. 1 pick and he was in these big markets, but now he can just go out and play hard and blend in. This is going to be his year," Arenas added.
