Jason was a great guy, |
Jason was completely healthy as far as we knew, |
Joe has tremendous upside and provides our franchise with a player whose talents are worthy of All-Star consideration, ... He has the versatility to play several positions for Coach (Mike) Woodson. Not only is Joe extremely gifted on the offensive end, his size on defense will give us a tremendous advantage against most teams. When you team him up with a combination of Josh Childress, Josh Smith, Al Harrington, Marvin Williams, Salim Stoudamire and Zaza Pachulia, we feel we have one of the best up-and-coming rosters in the league. |

Nothing can explain it. You just sit around in disbelief for a while. And then you think of his family. |
Now we have a clear picture of where we're going and what we're going to do. We're comfortable with it. There is only one guess. They are only picking one name ahead of ours. They're going to do whatever they're going to do. |
Obviously we are pleased to add Stephen to our team. He's a proven contributor who was a major contributor to San Antonio's championship team last season and he has the versatility to play both wing positions for us. |
Right now we just think about Jason and his family, his wife and a daughter. We're going to miss him. |
This has nothing to do with basketball. Jason was a friend, a family man and a first-class person. We're going to miss him. |
Those things are good for the league. You want your players to play. The D-League is good for them. (With the age limit) you'll see players coming into the league more finished. |
We call it 'be a pro,' ... We think if you look professional, you'll feel professional and you'll have a better chance of being professional. |
We felt it was needed even if the league hadn't done something. We felt it was necessary because we have a lot impressionable young guys, and we wanted them to have the right impression about the league. |
We will truly miss Jason’s personality and his spirit, and he will be in the thoughts and minds of our team and organization forever, |
We'll wait until the experts can tell us, but there's no comments about any speculating at all that I'm going to do, |
