Published 1/14/2008 by Bethlehem Shoals at FanHouse
Filed under: Wizards, Eastern, NBA Rumors, Washington, DC, The WordSo remember how Gilbert Arenas was planning to opt out, but told D.C. to worry not? There's some tune-changing in the air now. From The Boston Globe: "I want a new contract for the longevity of it and get another six years at the end of this deal," said Arenas, who is making $11.9 million this season. "I don't know what's going to happen. I could have signed an extension this year, but it wasn't going to make sense for me. If ...

... Feel free to form your own opinions on this, but I think it's probably just a case of a reporter that's not familiar with Gilbert taking what he said out of context.  At least, I think that's what is going on.  He'll probably explain it in his next blog just like he always does when someone misinterprets what he says. ...

Gilbert Speaks Out On His Contract Situation

At least that’s what it seems that he’s saying in this quote to the Boston Globe: “I want a new contract for the longevity of it and get another six years at the end of this deal,” said Arenas, who is making $11.9 million this season. “I don’t know what’s going to happen. I could have signed an extension this year, but it wasn’t going to make sense for me. If my own team doesn’t take me, I’ll go somewhere for a lot less to win a championship.” This could very well be a ...

Agent Zero Wants His Money

... Earlier in the week, GIl had similar comments and I’m a tad confused as to why he won’t shut up about his contract. Gilbert, you’re a max player; stop worrying about it. Your team would be crazy not to pay you (assuming your knee if fully healed, of course). You’re making everyone nervous for no reason. Just stop. ...
