Should the Lakers consider Arenas?

While listening to ESPN radio today, a caller said that the Lakers should consider picking up Gilbert Arenas. The hosts laughed him off the air and said it was a horrible idea. I completely disagree with them. The Lakers are lacking in the point guard position. Steve Blake is out until mid Feb. and while he was playing better than he did last year, he still hasn't really made an impact on the team. Fisher is getting old and while he can still hit those clutch shots, he has become more of a liability, especially on defense. Morris is still young and very raw. If Arenas would consider a one year low pay deal, what do the Lakers have to lose? Yes, he could go back to his chucking ways and launch way too many shots, but with a team friendly contract, Lakers can always cut him if he doesn't work out. He may not be great at defense but at least his size can create some sort of problems for the opposing point guards. Offensively, he could always score, which is something the Lakers haven't had at the point guard position in a long time, a lot of this is due to the triangle offense. But with the triangle being abandoned maybe its time for the Lakers to find a point guard who can create. Who knows if he still has anything left in him, but it's worth a shot. Sitting at 10-8 and not playing particularly well, the Lakers need to do something and it's not like their point guard play could really get much worse. Best case scenario, Arenas could be the one to put them back on top. Worst case scenario, the Lakers would lose a couple million on him. All of this may be a bit premature, the Lakers could figure out their offensive system and everything could be merry once again in Laker Land. But if it doesn't work out, a player like Arenas with a low risk high reward type contract could help.
