If the Wiz do try and void Gilberts contract this is going to turn into a HUGE fiasco with the players association.
I know it sounds pretty cut and dry but so many players violate clauses in their contract. Monta Ellis violated his contract, but I think the Warriors wanted to keep him so they settled on suspending him.
What about Marbury? Marbury refused to play when asked by his coach, which results in him getting banned by his team, and of course Marbury responded by showing up at Knick games to taunt management. No one wanted Marbury gone more than the Knicks and technically they could have gotten rid of him for that, but all they ended up being able to do was try and negotiate a buyout.
I know the stuff i mentioned is WAYY WAAY different than pulling a gun out on a teammate, but really in the black and white eyes of a contract, isnt it the same thing?? I think if the Wiz want to take it this far (which I think they wont) all they could do is ban him from the team indefinitely.
