... Truth About It (a little PG-13) to Gilbert Arenas: "No one is questioning your decision to opt out of your current deal. It's a business decision that any of us would make. And the glass half-fulls think you are going to make good on your want to stay in Chinatown. Problem is, the quirkiness that we've grown to love and appreciate leads to a slight degree of mistrust. A result of your perceived unpredictable nature. But all this goes away if you show us that you're going to be about it. We got your back, we just want to know that you will be around ...
