by now id assume everyone has at least a basic idea of what was said regarding Luol Deng. and it seems with each passing day, Woj just adds more fuel to that fire. Today, he posted a supposed transcript of what was said

[quote]In a transcript obtained by Yahoo!Sports, Ferry was extremely critical of Deng's personality in the locker room and with the media. "For example, he can come out and be an unnamed source for a story and two days later come out and say, 'That absolutely was not me. I can't believe someone said that," Ferry said on a conference call with ownership. He also downplayed the positive affect Deng has in a close locker room. "Good guy in Chicago. They will tell you he was good for their culture, but not a culture setter. He played hard and all those things, but he was very worried about his bobble-head being the last one given away that year, or there was not enough stuff of him in the [team] store

My understanding was that the "has some African in him" was directly from a scouting report he was reading from.

I assume we are going to get the actual audio at some point as it is out there. Until then I'll reserve judgement.

Did he just read what someone else wrote? I mean, Skip and Stephen A read it on air today. What's the difference? Maybe you should take issue with the person who wrote the report, but the guy who only read it? Seriously?

I honestly don't know. Depends on who the new owner winds up being.

He shouldn't be fired, but with the atmosphere being the way it is right now in the NBA I wouldn't be surprised.

If we do fire him I expect long days ahead for the Hawks.
