Desiring to play for a championship contender, Washington Wizards guard
Gilbert Arenas will seriously consider opting out of his contract in 2008 if
he doesn't feel the franchise is committed to building a title-caliber team,
according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation.
"Gil has made it clear to me that his number one priority is to play for
championships," said Dan Fagan, Arenas' agent. "Right now the Wizards aren't
a championship-caliber team. But we are confident that [president of
basketball operations] Ernie Grunfeld can put one together."
......
"I don't want to take a step back," he said. "It's hard to recover from that
sometimes."
Arenas said he wants to spend his prime years knowing he will compete for
a championship every year. Washington last won a championship in 1978 and is
not considered a threat to win the Southeast Division, let alone compete for
a championship.
"That is what I play this game for," Arenas said. "Ninety-five percent of
the players in this league want to win a championship more than anything
else. I won't be happy just making it to the playoffs every year and that's
it. I want to compete for a championship in my young years."
......
The Wizards can offer Arenas an extension next summer. If at that time Arenas
is not satisfied with the Wizards' progress, he could let the team know he
intends to opt out of his contract and allow the team to consider trading him.
......
Arenas also has indicated he would be disappointed if coach Eddie Jordan does
not receive a contract extension. Jordan is in the final year of his contract.
"I'll even say, if he's not here I don't want to be here," Arenas said after
the playoff loss to Cleveland. "I'll even go that far. That's how badly I want
him here."
