Sorry for the lack of a recap yet - I was working on these all morning, and before that, I wrote this up about Nike's total butchering of MLK Day. I'll get to recapping yesterday's game, with quotes, tonight. Sorry all. Carry on.

I like Mike Jones, but I can't buy his source's claim that the Wizards haven't even considered voided Gilbert Arenas' deal. I just can't. There's too much smoke for there to not be fire with that. I'm sure they've at least thought about it. I do believe Jones' source when he says they've tried to reach out to Arenas and Arenas rebuffed them. That seems conceivable. The other disconcerting thing? Jones reports that Ernie is holding out hope that the Wizards can turn things around. Hopefully, that's just a ploy to keep everyone's market value up. Otherwise ... I have no words to express my anger.

As I understand this article, though, what that really means is that, if Leonsis and the Pollin estate can't agree on a sale price, it will just drag things out a little longer. Basically, if they can't agree on a price by Wednesday, they'll each hire someone to estimate the price. If those two can't agree, they'll hire a third outside party to estimate the price. Leonsis can then accept the third party's price and purchase the team, or he can decline and the team would go on the open market, with Leonsis still retaining the right to match any offer. In other words, there are a lot of hoops that have to be jumped through for Leonsis to not have this team. Here's hoping that the two sides agree sooner rather than later.
