Didn't they butt heads somewhere on the topic of defense? I remember somewhere EJ scoffing at something one of his players said about defense or something. I thought it was Arenas. I wonder how much all that plays into this.
It turns out Thibodeau also never finalized a contract with the Wizards and there were no contractual obligations. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/07/AR2007070701072.html
Yeah. But I also remember EJ just scoffing/chuckling at the comment Arenas made when a reporter asked him during the press conference. So I guess it was back-to-back scoffing.
