So I would expect the opposite of what you’ve said here. I would expect that Nico had exit interviews with every player and told 7 of em they were absolutely coming back and an 8th that it would take an unexpected deal for an all star to trade him, while also letting the rest know precisely where they stand.
But what I'm saying is that it WAS careful wording, but only regarding Hardaway.
