- The US Basketball team was announced today, and as expected Gilbert was not named to the team. Does this reinforce the Gilbert’s accusation that USA Basketball already had a roster in mind when they set out on the team building process back in ’06? Michael Lee says yes. Chris Paul might not agree:
- Now, on to news from “secret agreement”-gate. Ivan Carter talked to Gilbert and according to Gil, there’s no deal in place. However he does mention that the Wizards will likely try and offer a good deal off the bats, so he doesn’t head off on his tour to Asia without a deal in place. As he puts it, “If the process drags out, the chances of Gilbert doing something impulsive (like flipping a coin and deciding to take the mid-level from the Lakers just to be different) increases dramatically.”
- If you’re looking for some more evidence that there could be a “secret agreement” in place, check this out.
- Sorry New Jersey, Gilbert will not be a Net next season.
- Finally, in case you’ve never heard the story about the car Gil bought after going pro, the Arizona Daily Star has a nice recap of it.

Classic Gilbert: (from the car article)
“Can I give it back?”
So, if we sign Gil to a big contract and his knee doesn’t hold up, can we give him back?

Reports have it that his new contract comes with a warranty in the range of 3 years/60,000 miles, but they’re still hashing out the exact numbers.
That is, unless the “secret agreement” is already completed and the warranty has been finalized.
