Former Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas was once on top of the league. His on-court plays dazzled fans and opposing players on a nightly basis. However, due to some off-court issues that took place during his time in Washington, Arenas had to face a lot of consequences. Which ultimately became a factor in his early exit from the league after only playing 11 seasons in the NBA.

Recently, Gilbert Arenas sat down with Golden State Warriors star forward Draymond Green. Arenas and Green talked about multiple things on ?The Draymond Green Show,? including his exit from the Warriors.

?So, because of I only played two years, I didn?t have my bird rights meaning Golden State can only offer me a certain amount which was 49. It was a seven-year 49 million. So, seven-year 49 million was the max that they could offer me,? mentioned Arenas.

However, by the end of it, Arenas revealed Golden State?s pitch to get him back despite not being able to offer him the maximum amount. Arenas revealed, ?I ain?t gonna lie, they had a hell of a pitch.?

?They had a viper, a Ferrari, the Lambo downstairs, the Corvette, you know what I mean. So what we were trying to do is we were trying to sign an under-the-table deal. You know, one year 4.9 and then having the contract already signed, seven years 79 million. So, that was the deal that I was gonna sign now and then we was both gonna hold it in the vault,? said Arenas.
