How To Spend Gilbert Arenas' Unwanted $16 million...

Oh, how generous of Hibachi, taking a "pay-cut" of $111 million over six years instead of the Washington Wizards' original offer of $127 million. Here is a touching rhetorical question from Arenas as told to The Washington Post: "What can I do for my family with $127 million that I can't do with $111 million?" How about this Hibachi: What can you do for your family with $111 million that you can't do with, say, $50 million? Probably buy a solid gold statue of Lute Olsen and make out with it. Hibachi also said that he didn't want to financially bind his team with a maximum contract... haha, no seriously.

But what could one do with that extra little $16 million? Let's see:

Buy 109,589 barrels of oil
Buy 1,142,857 copies of Coldplay's new album Viva La Vida
Buy 45,714 iPod Classics, 160 GB version 
MAKE IT RAIN! (for like four days straight)
Sign some supporting players to go along with Washington's big three of Butler, Jamison, and Arenas... just an idea guys

But Hibachi, have fun with  your money that you earned with all 13 of your games played last season.

Signing Caron Butler to a 5-year deal in 2005: $45 million
Signing Antawn Jamison to a 4-year deal: $50 million
Signing Gilbert Arenas to a 6-year deal: $111 million
Losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers every year in the playoffs: PRICELESS!
