On Gilbert’s latest blog on how the Ravens-Patriots game killed him, contracts and the Wiz’ :
“I want to say something to some of the young players out there in this game today. Especially somebody like Luol Deng who turned down that big contract. You don’t turn down $12 million. Period. That’s me, personally. I learned when I did my deal: Don’t look at other people’s money when you do your deal. Unfortunately, that’s what this league is about. They see a player that they think they’re better than, and they try to jump over them.

So now, Luol, you’re over here in a contract year and you’re not doing so well as a team. You get paid as a team. Now you’re going to be a free agent, and if you keep this up, that $12 million might not be on the table. So he turned down $12 million, Okafor said he wants Dwight Howard’s money … I mean, you ain’t Dwight Howard. It’s like them two had a discussion together about turning down the $12 million. Then Iguodala turned down $12 million … What is going on in the NBA? Iggy, you’re from Arizona, baby. You don’t turn down that much money. I don’t know who your agent is, but Agent Zero says you don’t turn down that $12 million.

I just don’t understand it. Then Varejao, he has for $60 million and ends up with three years for $17 million. You could have got that contract last summer! You done missed 20 games of the season getting paid the same money you could have got last summer. For the deal you just signed, you could have got that this summer from the Cleveland Cavaliers without losing no basketball time. By the time you’re playing again and are ready back in your form, I’m going to be playing again! It’s a damn shame.

If I was they parents … Whooo! They would get some nice little butt whippings. Not trying to be funny here, but what’s the difference between 12 and 13 or 14? I mean, I know they’re all looking for max deals … but it’s like Charles Barkley says, max players put people in them seats. If you’re not putting people in them seats, you are not a max player.”

I wish I could quit you Gil. Not even because you represent Arizona. Just cause.. you give me a special feeling inside.

He should really be an agent after his time in the NBA is up. He’d tell his clients, “dude you know what, you suck. You aint never gonna be like Agent zero was. You don’t put people in them seats so you take the most money you offered and stop being a little bitch. So bend over and I am going to leave the hand print of Nacho. You lucky. You better frame that shit.”
