Larry Legend Shows That Small Town Politeness

Accoding to Indy Cornrows Pacers GM, Larry Bird, went on 1070 The Fan and dropped the following gem of kindness.

The direction we're going, we don't have any interest in Zach, even though I like him as a person, he's a good player but that's not the direction we want to go. We've talked to every team in the league just to see what's going on out there. You know, we played the other night, Jermaine and Isiah are good friends and that's how all that stuff got started.

Larry when you say not the direction we want to go. Are you referring to not wanting to be wieghed DOWN, in the standings or did you mean more along the lines of not wanting to expand OUTWARD like Randolphs evergrowing waistline.

Larry went ahead and finished this one off with this gem Jermaine and Isiah are good friends and that's how all that stuff started Translation: Just because Isiah is willing to give ridiculous contracts to all of his friends does not mean I am about to take on the wieght around the neck that is Zach Randolph.

Also I can't let a Randolph related article go without passing on this glimpse into the mind of the biggest disappointment in the eastern conference. When asked about his upcoming return to Portland earlier this season. Randolph showed how much he worries about what the fans think

I get booed at home in New York, I am not worried about getting booed in portland

I really don't ever want to agree with Isiah but I'd have to call that a lack of heart
