The Washington Wizards took one major step in attempting to retain point guard Gilbert Arenas as according to Marc Stein of ESPN.com, the team signed forward Antawn Jamison to a four-year extension worth around $50 million; the deal was inked just before the NBA deadline – which would have made Jamison an unrestricted free agent.? Jamison’s signing will allow the Wizards to now turn their attention to re-signing Arenas, who has already opted out of his current contract despite knee problems that dogged him last season; the team can start negotiating with Arenas Tuesday (today).
