In an interview with the Washington Times, Gilbert re-iterated his desire to re-sign with the Wizards after the season is over:

“If everything goes like it’s supposed to, I’m going to re-sign here,” Arenas said in a telephone interview. “If everything goes well I’m going to re-sign, we’re going to build something and hopefully my number one day will go up in the rafters.”

The Wizards (6-5) can offer Arenas more money than any other team.

He has repeatedly said he doesn’t want to be a part of a rebuilding team. He also has said he wants to see signs that the Wizards are improving and that they can become a championship contender.
