I just heard an audio clip of Bird on Thomas, stating "I want him as a

Rats!
Why?
"The check is in the mail" and I will never understand why people (general
comment, Snoop, not saying you're all worked up - it's one of my vast herd
of pet peeves) get all worked up about non-specific public statements by
people who realize what a public statement means. Notice he doesn't say an
unequivocal Isaiah is my coach, my choice for coach, under contract, etc
etc. Nothing concrete. Nor does he say anything about under what terms he
hopes Isaiah is **willing** to stay - seems to me there's something going
on there or why would willing even be an issue.
