We’ve heard from Gilbert about what he wants to see happen this summer, today Wizards GM Ernie Grunfeld chimed in with what he wants to see happen. Thankfully they both seem to want the same thing this off-season:

We’re on the same page, then. Because we want to sign Antawn. We want to sign Gilbert, I kind of liked it. He’s supportive of his teammate. And he enjoys playing with Antawn. And that’s been our plan all along. I’m glad to see everyone in the organization is on the same page.

Our intent all along has been to have both of those players back and to keep our core together. And at the appropriate time, we’ll sit down with both of those parties and see what we can work out. We’re going to be fair with our players. These players have done a lot for our franchise and we hope to have them here for a very long time.

From everything that’s been said so far from all the parties, it looks like Gilbert is going to be staying in Washington, but there’s still another month and a half before free agency opens on July 1st. We’ll see what happens.
