In a great move the Wiz officially have locked up Antawn Jamison to a 4 year 50 million dollar deal. This not only brings Jamison's 20 and 10 back to the team but also the strongest leader on the team.
Equally important is the fact that this also opens the door to resigning Gilbert Arenas who earlier in the season said that he would only resign if Jamison did-and what is more that he would be willing to take a pay cut to keep Jamison.
The question is how much will it take to resign Gilbert especially now that Baron Davis has opted out of his deal and Golden State may be in the Gilbert market. If Gilbert had not been hurt most of this year then he would certainly command something in the 6 year 100 million range but I am not sure that the Wiz will want to throw down that kind of money on his shakey knee. And if that was not enough to complicate things Gilbert is leaving the country of a promotional tour on Tuesday which obviously puts a twist on things since Gilbert is acting as his own agent this year.
We have two of the big three back lets hope we can keep the third.
Edit: The Washington Post is reporting that the Wiz are close to offering Gilbert a 6 year 100 million dollar deal.
