from what ive read in other places Gilberts also in favor of his contract getting voided, which is crazy.
if i were him I wouldnt want to play again this season either, not after the Wizards made every attempt to act like he never existed. Too much awkwardness and negative publicity surrounding it, especially since the Wiz would probably just sit him anyway. If he went through the summer did some charity work, and made an effort to right himself around DC, it would make for fresh start going into the '10-'11 season. Leaving 80 mil on the table is a lot of money to give up, he must be pretty embarrassed, resentful, take your pick.
He deserved everything he got, by the way. he asked for it.
.....i'll tell you what. If hes a free agent next year, he could probably be had for a cheap and short contract. He's gonna have a lot to prove....but then again I dont think I could stomach having Gilbert on this team.
