According to many sources within the NBA community and sports world that the Wizards will indeed try to void Gilbert's remaining contract of 4 years worth about $80mil. The Wizards will do this by invoking the morals clause in the uniform player contract under the league's collective bargaining agreement.
This Wizards organization had also made themselves a distance from Gilbert by removing all Gilbert related materials such as poster, jerseys and other merchandise away from the Verizon Center.
This is very disappointing that the Wizards are not standing behind Gilbert behind this ordeal. I thought they would be right behind him since he had done so much for the organization such as bringing back a franchise that had under .500 record until Gilbert arrived from Golden State.
Let's hope that Gil comes back soon and possibly with another team so he can keep doing what he loves to do which is to play basketball.
