Interesting, from Windy
–Lenny Wilkens is here and is being honored at halftime. Before the game he had a photo op with Mike Brown and Danny Ferry. Ferry and Brown were smiling, Lenny wasn’t. When working the book The Franchise with Terry Pluto (ahem, available at all local book retailers and online at Amazon.com), we interviewed Lenny, former Cavs GM Wayne Embry and former owner Gordon Gund. Even 20 years later, the emotions involving the Ferry-Ron Harper trade are very raw. All three men got pretty heated when talking about it and all three have their own version of events. It was such a hot spot and murky, Terry and I didn’t really address it all that much in the book because it would’ve just been these guys yelling about each other. Here’s the point, Lenny’s is still mad about it today and even though he probably doesn’t have anything against Danny, it’s probably not good for his blood pressure to be posing for pictures with him.
