For those who haven’t kept track, Gilbert Arenas vowed to get revenge from his Team USA snub by putting up huge numbers against the USA Basketball coaches. After scoring 54 points against Mike D’Antoni’s Phoenix Suns and vowing to come after the Portland Trailblazers, Arenas figured he could score “84 or 85 points” against Coach Mike Krzyewski’s team if he could return to college and play Duke.

Arenas snuck past Vince Carter by a microscopic amount of votes to become a first-time starter for the East in next month’s All-Star game. Arenas earned the second guard spot by 3,010 votes — the closest vote for a spot since 1990.

Vince Carter has appeared in many trade rumors lately, but the deal likely won’t send him to Los Angeles to join the Clippers. The LA Times reported that Clippers officials have confirmed that they attempted to make a trade, but the New Jersey Nets didn’t want to part with Jason Kidd or Carter.

The San Antonio Spurs may not be the favorite to make a championship run this season, but head coach Gregg Popovich doesn’t think a trade is the answer. Though the team may make some minor roster moves as the deadline approaches, don’t expect to see any extreme moves.
