That call may not be about what you think it is

There’s a bit of unintentional humor at the end of Part III of Keith Langlois’ interview with Joe Dumars, which took place last week but was published today: KL: I assume there’s been no news on this, but are you still talking with Lindsey and is he still making up his mind?
