I'm about 75 to 80 percent now. But I'm getting better. I hope to be about 100 percent by the start of September. |
I'm happy. I think it was a positive ruling for us. I think most of us thought he probably was going to be suspended. |
I'm hoping to get him to where he starts practicing every day because I think he needs to strengthen his game and condition his game in practice as much as play games. |

I'm more excited for next year. |
I'm not going to deny that coaching in the NBA used to be easier. ... My basic philosophy is we've gone from dictator to democracy. I've got some power, but it's not dictatorial. |

I've told Kenyon this, I've told (reporters) this, I've told his agent this. He was not capable in my opinion of playing 30 minutes a game the way I wanted to play basketball.

But physically he was not capable of doing that, in my opinion. And that hasn't changed since January. |
