Gilbert Arenas, one of the most entertaining players on and off the court, has stated that after next season he will opt out of his contract. In doing the exact opposite of A-Rod (honestly and openly discussing the situation) he allows his team to plan for this situation.

“To me, it’s just a smarter business decision to play next season, opt out and then be able to sign a long-term deal that is going to keep me in one place,” Arenas said, according to The Washington Post.



Arenas said that he will act as his own agent, and at least at this point, he’s not seeking to leave the Wizards.



“I’m not looking at anything else. It’s just business. If something happens where they don’t want me or they’re going in a different direction, I can look elsewhere. But my intentions are not to leave,” Arenas said, according to The Post.
