Perhaps the Wizards view this as the opportunity to finally unload Arenas and his massive contract. I view it as a cost saving move. Lewis is set to earn approx. 43 million over the next two seasons after this one, his final year is not fully guaranteed.
Lewis however, is not having one of his better seasons averaging 12 ppg, but the numbers matched [contract wise] enough for them to get a deal done. Personally, I would like to have seen Gilbert stay, unfortunately it wasn't my call.
