Larry Bird wants $5 Mil and Part of the Team?

That's a very optimistic interpretation.
The only question in my mind about her text is whether it's "Larry Bird will get $5 mil and a piece of the team when pigs fly" or "Larry Bird will be the GM of the Kings when pigs fly".
But again, if at the very least Vivek is meeting with guys it gives him a few different viewpoints on what people would do to get the Kings competitive again which is a good thing. And he's taking the right approach of going after candidates who have had sustained success with smaller market teams.
And I'd vastly prefer Bird to Wallace. Instant credibility and more importantly a very solid track record both in the draft and in terms of trades and acquisitions.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Why would she nip a high profile GM search in the butt? That makes no sense. The publicity of this alone helps us. Going on twitter and basically saying, yeah right, us getting Brid is the equivalent to pigs flying would not be a smart PR move. Not at all. Actually, it'd be the opposite.

Still, if talks with Vivek and Bird were substantial, or there was a meeting for a different day, I don't know if Vivek's PR rep would have came out as strong as she did, which is disappointing (pigs flying?). I normally don't care about rumors at all, or hacks like Vecsey/Bucher/Amico etc., but this one came right at our achilles hill, the GM situation and the pool of candidates we are faced with.. Bird offered an escape.
Wow, didn't dare dream this could happen. I sure wouldn't hesitate to give Larry anything he wanted, hell, giving him a piece of the team would just make him more vested in the team and area. A proven GM who has been the best as a player, coach, and exec? Yes please.
But sadly, looks like just another rumor atm :*(*
