"Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld, according to sources, was the person who reported this gun incident to the league, and already has begun looking into voiding Arenas' contract," he writes. " ... If Arenas receives a serious charge from D.C. law enforcement, the Wizards certainly would have grounds to do so because of the 'morality clause' which gives a team permission to terminate their contract with a player over a breech of contract. However, a source close to Arenas told me that say he didn't receive jail time and the Wizards did still try to void his contract, the guard would fight tooth and nail, getting the players union to battle on his behalf and taking further legal action if needs be in an attempt to making that happen. If Arenas is charged with a felony, however, he doesn't have much of a leg to stand on (Washington Times)."
The Wizards would have to love to see Arenas get in a lot of trouble for having a gun. Arenas has not been the same player since his knee injuries, and the Wizards are stuck with him and his terrible contract. If the Wizards were able to void the deal then they could become players in the 2010 free agent signings next offseason, which has guys like Lebron, Wade, and Bosh in it. The Wizards could also rework the whole team if they were able to void the contract, and then trade a player like Butler or Jamison.
Anyways, I can't stand Arenas, so hopefully he gets busted...
