I have been in contact with Willie's agent and we are exploring options with Willie. There will be no immediate answer at this time. |

I just spoke to Marc and I thanked him for everything he?s done for us. I told him, ?I know it?s a hard trade for you because you?re from Philadelphia, but the one saving thing is that you?re just up the turnpike.? He obviously wasn?t in the most upbeat mood, but he understands it?s part of the business. |
I think he's still one of the top draws in the league. It hasn't manifested itself at home as of late, but overall, as a team, we have to play to the point where the fans appreciate it. |
I think, in retrospect, I probably should have added a few more veteran pieces to help him. I'll take full responsibility that I don't think I gave him the right pieces to be successful this year. |
I'm going in it from the standpoint of not expecting anything. If we get it, it's going to be gravy. |
I'm going to be demanding of coaches, demanding of players and I'm demanding of myself. The way we're playing is not acceptable. But I do believe we can turn this thing around and play consistent basketball. |
I'm not saying anything until noon tomorrow. |
If players have problems with Mo Cheeks ... then there's got to be something wrong with those players. |
If they have any doubt, look up top and see No. 10 hanging and they'll know he's done something pretty good in the league. They know he played and he won a ring. You need somebody that can show you the way. |
If we do anything it will be minor. We have been on the phone and we will up up until 3 o'clock [today]. |
If we get one (gun), it's a successful program. If we get one, if we get a thousand, whatever we get that's going to be good enough. |
If we've got to make tough decisions, we'll make tough decisions. |
Is he [Iverson] one of the best players? Sure. They're not picking the best players - they're picking a team. It's almost like (when Bobby Knight was the U.S. coach) in 1984. |
It seems like they're going more of not the best players, but the best team. Is Allen one of the best players in the league? Of course. |
