Gilbert Arenas insists he won't return to the Washington Wizards if forward Antawn Jamison isn't re-signed by the team. "If he doesn't come back, I'm not coming back," Arenas said Wednesday in a posting on his blog, a rambling entry of more than 2,800 words. Arenas, a three-time All-Star who missed most of this season after two operations on his left knee, can opt out of his contract. He has said since before the season that he planned to do that so he could stay with Washington for more money. Jamison, a team co-captain and two-time All-Star, is set to become a free agent.

Injury Report
Knee - Expected to be ready for 2008-09 training camp (Updated - 5/3/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Arenas and Jamison have been teammates the past four seasons in Washington, and they were together with the Golden State Warriors for two seasons. "I want to be back in Washington, but weird things happen in free agency," Arenas said on the blog. "If Antawn is not back, then there's no point in me coming back because he's part of my success, too." Arenas is also dealing with a knee injury that limited him this season to just 16 games in the regular season and four games in the playoffs (in a series that went six games). He said that he will wait until June before he begins to do strengthening exercises again. He added, "For Washington, or whatever city I go to, I don't want to come in being a half a player."
