Bird sounds like he got pritch-slapped
Either the guy is tired from a long day or just realized he made a mistake giving away Bayless to the fastest rising team in the league.
From the Indy Star:
http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dl...42/1004/SPORTS
Quote:
The Pacers acquired three players, none of whom they drafted, then team president Larry Bird spent a bizarre news conference trying to follow league rules that prohibit teams from commenting on trades until they are final on July 9.
"I think everyone in here knows we can't speculate on proposed trades, so I don't know what the hell you're going to ask me," Bird said.
|
Quote:
In the second round, the Pacers drafted 6-10 Nathan Jawai, but he is headed to Toronto as part of the trade sending Jermaine O'Neal to the Raptors.
"I think we got more athletic," Bird said. "I think we got some size, or Toronto got some size, and next year we got some cap space."
|
We got some size... no Toronto got some size, I mean. And we got cap space. hahaha.. kind of funny.

Re: Bird sounds like he got pritch-slapped
I don't know when Pritchard sold his soul, but no doubt he Pritch slapped the Devil in the deal.
Reading how well he and his team figured out who everyone was drafting to the point that he already knew just how he was going to pull this trade off, it is simply amazing. We would have ended up with Augustine had the Bob-kitties picked Bayless, but once they went with D.J. Pritchard knew the plan would unfold perfectly. So amazing. Such amazing value for the 13th pick and Jack.

"pritch-slapped"
Who coined this phrase? I laughed out loud the first time I read this

Re: Bird sounds like he got pritch-slapped
So the resolution is a little poor, but this is basically how the press conference went

Re: Bird sounds like he got pritch-slapped
If you hear the phone ringing on the side of your desk, and you think
15 minutes to the... Pritch-slap! Pritch-slap baby!
I'm headin' down the I-5 highway,
lookin' for the PG give away
Heading for the PG give away, PG give away,
We got ourselves a GM, he's as slick as can be
and he's starting to on down
To the Pritch Slap!
I got me a Rose Garden, it seats about 20 thou
Hurry up and bring your popcorn money
The Pritch Slap is a little old slap
where we fleece you badly
Pritch Slap baby, Pritch Slap bay-bee.
Portland, that's where it's at,
Ooo Pritch Slap, that's where it's at
Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools,
'cause KP rules at Pritchslapping!
Well it's set way back in the middle of day,
He's about to Pritch Slap and I gotta get back
Pritch Slap on the Kings
Pritch Slap on the Suns
Pritch Slap on the Spurs
Pritch Slap on the Wolves
The Pritch Slap is a little old slap
where we can fleece your team
Pricth Slap bay-bee! Pritch Slap baby!
Pritch Slap, that's where it's at!....
Ok, that sucked and this song is way too long.
