Sleepy, that is how I interpreted the initial press conference as well. Also, there was the comment about the decision not being "set in stone," although I am not sure whether those were Jeff's words, or rather a leading question from the reporter.
Anyway, that's what I hope that he meant in the initial press conference -- because that would mean that his statements to the press last week actually constituted backtracking (meaning that something had caused him to reconsider his position and pushed him in the direction of staying), rather than merely statements clarifying his position at the initial press conference (showing no momentum either way).

I will cede that your track record is quite good on this kind of stuff. Am I senile or did the press conference discussion begin with a mrsixer sendoff to Jeff and Roy? Is definite like announcement coming soon, or just like 70-30 again? I don't know why people (not you in particular, sleepy) treated the earlier press conference like a be-all-end-all NBA announcement. He has about 10 1/2 days to make a final decision by my count. I'd expect something by then. If not, no news is good news. Cohoya, U may not be senile, but u are ignorant when it comes receiving info prior to any media outlet. When u receive such info, u don't ask questions, u say thank and move on. When I received word of the press conference I assumed both guys were history. Excuse me for trying to keep true fans informed, editedBack and forth discussion is fine, name calling is not. |

Hmmm... I don't know, isn't JG supposed to have a workout with the Sixers tomorrow? If this has truth and "inside" sources are starting to spread the word, I would expect that workout to be cancelled and for us to know real soon. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for JG if insiders were spreading that kind of word and he went through the motions of a pro workout, when coming back is a "done deal." Wouldn't build that much goodwill with NBA teams if they found out. I am hoping that the workout is cancelled and we find out officially in short order. Just ask yourself, how did the sixers treat the hoya they had? When u find that answer, ask yourself do we really give a damn about them? |

Despite the Board's perhaps-justified animus towards the Sixers organization, everything I know about the class and poise with which JG and JTIII conduct themselves (as well as the entire team) leads me to believe that they would never treat any party in bad faith. Anyway, if the session was cancelled, I am sure that it would have already been leaked to ESPN by now, given that it is supposedly taking place at 11a. Too many people would know about it by now. Oh, and Billy King is going to have a presser at noon. Good times. daily.phanaticmag.com/2007/06/sixers-to-work-out-green-on-friday.html |

can we please get a full description of whatever insider info/rumor/leak we are all referring to? I am assuming the title of this thread was changed at some point (because it doesnt make any sense now) but it is very ambiguous what you guys are talking about. Has there been info he is returning to georgetown or hiring an agent, or is it that a decision has been made and yet to be announced? Please clarify, otherwise I wont be able to fall asleep!

Also, why would Jeff cancel a workout??? It makes sense for him to go through it and get feedback and see how it goes. Even if he has decided to come back nothing bad can come from it. It's not like Jeff would be doing the workout and then saying "sorry, you suck, I'm not entering"

so what you are saying is you were making dinner and you got... a phone call? You then answered the phone to a voice that said Jeff Green is coming back? Then you hung up the phone? You didnt ask a single question, like how do you know? How does this person know? You did say its the highest source, was it Jeff Green? John Thompson?
