He took the year off last year, saying he was retired just after he signed a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clips released the 33-year-old earlier this summer and he’s supposedly worked out for a few teams, including the New York Knicks. Orlando, though, is supposedly his first choice since his wife and kids are living there. One small problem is that the Magic is pretty stocked at point guard with Jameer Nelson and backup Anthony Johnson.

Well, Arenas is apparently back, better than ever, and ready to pull the Wizards out of contention for being the worst in the league. New Wizards coach Flip Saunders checked in on Arenas in Chicago last week and is saying the 27-year-old, eight-year pro is looking pretty sweet in the weight room and on the court. And, according to Saunders, Arenas is feeling like he’s got something to prove after all that time spent at the doctor rather than on the court.

You can be sure Wizards fans are hoping it’s all true.

The main rivals to Rambis for the spot has been former NBA guard Mark Jackson and current Houston Rockets assistant Elston Turner. But rumor has it that Rambis will be offered the gig very soon.

But will he take it? Perhaps. Especially since he’s had a couple of rejections already this year, going through interviews with the 76ers and the Kings before losing out on those jobs.

Apparently not. Celtics restricted free agent power forward Glen Davis isn’t seeing much action on the contractual front and it’s getting him annoyed.

As teams across the league (including his own with the signing of Shelden Williams!) sign other power forwards, Davis is starting to wonder what is up with his lack of signing.

Maybe it’s his own demands that are holding things up. Davis supposedly did not like the last offer made by the Celtics earlier this week, according to the Boston Herald. He sent out a few frustrated tweets: "Anybody know what’s going on with the Celtics? Cause I don’t!" and "Well I don’t know where I’m going to be!!! Where (you) guys think I’m going to be!!! Who needs a pf?"

You want to play for the Knicks, Glen?

Free agent Lamar Odom plans to return to the champion Los Angeles Lakers with a four-year contract, according to a report on ESPN. Multiple sources also confirmed to Yahoo! Sports that the deal was close.

The contract reportedly would be worth as much as $33 million, including the Lakers’ option on the fourth year of the deal.

Odom, 29, averaged 11.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists for Los Angeles last season. He had also been considering rejoining the Miami Heat, for whom he played during the 2003-04 season before joining the Lakers.

But that hasn’t gone so well. The two sides are apparently at a "stalemate," according to the Associated Press.

So the expectation is that the Bobcats will continue to try to find some deals on the trade market. Especially since all of its division rivals have gotten better this off-season. AT least they have on paper.

Dunleavy is already able to cut and squat and move his leg in all sorts of ways that most normal people would define as perfectly healthy, according to the Indianapolis Star. But he’s not a normal person. So he’ll keep working out and the Pacers will keep hoping the doctors will agree with Dunleavy’s "gut feeling" that he’ll be back sooner rather than later.

In his radio interview, he went out of his way to tell listeners how great he thinks South Beach is, how great he did in the playoffs, and how he can’t wait to find out where he’ll be playing this coming season.

Of course, if Miami can convince Lamar Odom to come to the Heat – and Dwyane Wade and team prez Pat Riley are apparently in Los Angeles this week doing everything they can on this front – the team likely won’t have the cash for Boozer, leaving him stuck in Salt Lake City.

Hornets coach Larry Brown isn’t worried because he’s apparently planning to play the 7′1" Chandler at power forward from time to time and have him guard guys out on the perimeter. According The Baseline, Brown says that Okafor was more of a natural center than Chandler and can handle playing a more flexible game.
