But it is all really just a guess.
Agreed. As much shit as I give MB, I really doubt he called up the best player on his team and said "Guess what? You aren't going to be here after next year! HA!". There was probably some sort of conversation had between Whit and some amount of staff members, there was obviously some frustration about the draft and I believe Whit made a comment about not being thrilled that he didn't have job security in the future with Cincinnati with only 1 year left (I could be completely wrong, but for some reason it's coming to mind that he publicly has said this). Frustrated people do dumb stuff sometimes, and this was likely one of those dumb things that he overreacted and said publicly.
Like you said, it's all just a guess, but I'd like to think that we're somewhere close to the truth with all of the evidence in front of us.
