ESPN’s show “Outside The Lines” makes an attempt to answer the question that many Kentucky fans may be asking… “Who is this World Wide Wes?” He’s a good friend of Calipari and Lebron and is said to be a “mythic power broker” in the NBA. I’m not sure how mythic he is, but he’s definitely well connected.
Here’s the most recent news that connects UK to World Wide Wes. This was reported by the Chicago Tribune late last night.
[QUOTE]League sources said Sunday that noted [URL=”http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/basketball/nba-15008001.topic”]NBA[/URL] power broker William Wesley continues to work back channels to sell John Calipari and James as a package deal to franchises such as the Bulls, Nets and Clippers with coaching vacancies and salary cap room.
Another league source confirmed that an unknown Calipari connection contacted Bulls management over the weekend. This not only once again renders the coach’s vows to remain at Kentucky hollow, it underscores the juggling act general manager Gar Forman and senior vice president John Paxson must navigate as they tackle a coaching search while planning for free agency, which begins July 1.[/QUOTE] [LEFT][COLOR=#000000]
