Ernie Grunfeld, President of Basketball Operations for the Washington Wizards, commented on the future of Gilbert Arenas as a member of the franchise on Thursday.

"Gilbert is very committed to this city and this organization. He likes it here and we all have had great success, and we are heading in the right direction. We would love to have Gilbert end his career here and put his number up in the rafters. He is very popular in this town, the fans love him and we all love him. He has a strong competitive nature and a desire to win.  He does have the right to opt out next summer and get another long term contract, or he can get an extension this summer."
