"Good luck then," Hansen finally wished Ross well.
For Hansen, he had already surpassed Jordan, and whatever he achieved in the latter part of his career was simply adding to an already successful sports career.
Similarly, for Ross, after following the Cavaliers to win a championship, even if he retired now, his career would have no regrets.
So going back to reunite with Thibodeau and rekindle the mentor-student relationship would make up for the regrets of past failures.
Moreover, Ross said he wanted to join the Timberwolves, which reminded Hansen of Ross's 50-point game night.
So this might not be a bad thing for Ross.
After staying in Cleveland for two days, Hansen went to New York, where he began meeting with teams he wanted to meet in a rented manor.
Thomas already had requests from 29 teams — yes, 29, including the Pelicans' meeting application. Hansen only needed to give Thomas the meeting list.
