interesting how arenas and crintentton both asked stern to be banned without pay for the whole year, that takes some balls and the next big thing will arenas mammoth contract be void? the future of the wizards could hinge on that

Forreal, but I think part of the reason the media continued to push the story had to do with how Arenas handled the situation and made it look like a joke, so I think the NBA figured "fuck it, lets penalize him and move on." Crittenton obviously gets hurt from this as well because Arenas is a big name.

If I'm correct, the word is Arenas will ask the Players Union to not interfere on his behalf and let the Wizards terminate  his contract. Worst case scenario for Wizards is that they'll probably be able to buy out his contract for a very low price.
