It's starting...
Ernie, Kenny, and Charles kicked around the idea and Charley Rosen (who has always criticized the Arenas led Wizards)has a column on it: http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/7561158

Are the Wizards better without Gilbert? Personally, I think the team has improved for all the reasons that Pradamaster listed last week. I also think that Gilbert's injury has made everyone else better, by learning how to win without him. I just hope that Gilbert can adjust when he comes back. And here's another thing, if your star player is injured and the team is thriving without him, what does that do to his market value in a year where he plans to opt out of his deal?

Did he call Gilbert's blog an e-mail?
Wow.

As far as his value, I don't think it has gone down much yet, but if the team declines when he returns (highly, highly unlikely) then it might hurt him some but he'll still end up with a better deal than he has now.  Of course, he could always decide not to opt out if that does happen and he thinks he can make more money the next year, but I don't see it happening.

He also called Andray Blatche

As we expected
See, Jake and Prada...the mutterings!  

Yes, it's reasonable to say that Butler and co. are going to improve in Gil's absence...which is Rosen's and Ciscoveras's point...but we are not better without Gilbert long-term, which is a coming backlash if we keep winning.  

I have all kinds of belligerent opinions on this, but maybe I'll go post them on my e-mail.

That's One of His Trademarks
That's not the first time he has used that expression.

Known for his witty dialogue and vast assortment of creative banter, Harlan can be heard exclaiming: "Buckle up for..." (when any NBA player is about to slam dunk the ball in the hoop) and "Right between the eyes!" and "He just sucked the gravity right out of the building!!" and "He's a flamethrower!!!"

I Also Happen to Like It
It gives me the mental image of DeShawn shooting a fireball in NBA Jam!  Also, in the mental image DeShawn is wearing retro specs.
