While Jones’ lack-of-urgency comment garnered an overflow of attention, it did follow a somewhat optimistic outlook from Jones initially.
Asked if he could envision the regular-season opening and Lamb not being ready to go, Jones said he believes the parties were at the least headed in the right direction.
“Well, I don’t know about that, but I know that we’re getting great work [done], making real progress and I don’t think [we’re] losing a step where we are now,” Jones said.
It was then that Jones was asked about a sense of urgency, to which he responded simply, “No.”
When pressed to explain, he didn’t clear up why but delivered the aforementioned “urgency” excerpt.
