Yesterday, Kevin McHale became one of the many million Americans who are without jobs. However, unlike most if not all his fellow unemployees, McHale’s rolodex contains the numbers of high-ranking BFFs with both hiring power and a willingness to hire him — that is, if McHale even wanted to work. But let’s assume he does want to work. And if McHale so desired, he could pick up the phone right now — reportedly — and call up one of his best friends like say, Boston Celtics President Danny Ainge, or Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle, and say hey buddy, do me a solid and give me a job that pays a few million or so.
Proof: ” We’ve got a spot for him,” Ainge told the Boston Herald. “I know we could figure something out for him in some capacity, but I think he’s just in a wait-and-see mode.”
Wait-and-see mode? Come on! Most in McHale’s position would snatch up such a public job-offering immediately. According to ESPN “sources,” a similar offer could be on McHale’s table from Dallas as well. But, then again, if my former employer was set to pay me $12 million just to sit on my ass, I’d probably lay low too:
“He’s probably got bigger and better things to do — or more relaxing things to do,” said Ainge.
I’m not even mad at you, Kev. Do your thang.
