W&G:
Just now recieved a call from a guy I trust. Didn't have much tabgible to add ...but, just told me short and sweet that as of right this moment Dan Gilbert has personally injected himself into the discussions with Phoenix for Amare.
Not sure what exactly this means. If possibly he's trying to work somethig along the lines of a financial aspect to the trade talks that will positively impact the current talks and move Phoenix to go ahead and take our trtade proposal.
But, as I see it this could be nothing but good, and may swing the trade in our direction sooner rather than later.
I think this shows that we really need to just give Phoenix all we can give right now so that we can finally get an answer one way or another. We have Wshington sittingthere with somethiong we probably would like to pounce on, but don't want to move on to that until we know exactly where Phoenix stands.
The way I read it is ..Dan Gilbert is trying to set the timetable up so that all parties know that if Phoenix doesn't jump at what we have offered by a specific time, then it's off the table and we move to another alternative.
We simply can't wait on Phoenix past a certain point. It's my impression we would want something tangible back from the Phoenix ASAP.
I was just about to post the same thing. Good. Ferry deserves to have his answer before it ruins any chances of going after Jamison.
