<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Ernie Grunfeld initiated the rehabilitation process of Kwame Brown yesterday, if only because it promises to benefit the Wizards this summer. Grunfeld noted the obvious with Brown: He is a 7-footer who is athletic. Then he put Brown's potential suitors on notice. "There is a possibility that he will be back with us next season," Grunfeld said. Later, Grunfeld said, "Time heals a lot of wounds. Everybody deserves a second chance. Time will tell what direction we'll go as a franchise." Grunfeld is waiting on the other 29 NBA teams to measure just how committed he is to Brown, the No. 1 pick overall in the 2001 draft who quit on his team in the first round of the playoffs this month. For now, Grunfeld is obligated to talk up the possibilities of the 23-year-old product of Glynn Academy in Brunswick, Ga. Grunfeld is not about to let Brown, a restricted free agent, jump to another team without receiving worthwhile compensation from the competing party.</div> Source
