Fisher Talks Arenas/Crittenton Situation

According to the Washington Post, Derek Fisher, Player's Union President says that the union had been keeping a close eye on the situation with Gilbert and Javaris. Fisher explains that the union is concern about the "indefinite suspension" that David Stern had imposed a few weeks ago. Fisher also stated that the union is "taking the wait and see approach" with Arenas.

If you ask me, I think is crazy that Crittenton only received a year of unsupervised probation and Gilbert is facing a larger punishment. Maybe one loaded gun is not as big as having 4 unloaded guns in the locker room? Maybe Gilbert's guns were a little bigger than Javaris's?

Fisher finally said that there is nothing the player's union can do at this time until the sentencing or the NBA make a formal statement.

I guess we will have to wait to see what will happen to Gilbert's suspension and sentencing. Let's pray that he will not have to do any jail time.

Arenas will soon learn his fate

According to NBC Sports, Gilbert will learn from NBA commissioner David Stern how long his "indefinite" suspension will be by the end of the week. It is unknown at this point if the Wizards are still looking to void Gilbert's contract. And in regards to the other player that was involved, Javaris Crittenton, he will also have closure next week.

The D.A. have indicated that they will not seek more than six months in jail but the judge can order the star player anywhere between probation to the maximum term of five years in jail.

At least Gilbert can relax after next week when he finds out what his punishment is from the God of Basketball. After that, Gilbert will have time to prepare mentally for his return and also prepare himself for the worst case scenario when March 26th rolls around.

Until then, let's go back to Gilbert's earlier years when he was with Golden State.
