I think in another month we'll know if the league will allow us to take him off our cap and give us some relief. |
I think Rick will get him the ball. We have a problem now when we drop it in the post; we hold on to it too long. We need more movement with the shooters we have. I think you'll see that. |
I think what it came down to is that our owner wants to win and, in the end, we did this deal because we knew it would make us a better team. |
I'm a firm believer you have to be patient in this league. The teams that are patient in trades (have more success). We'd like to get this done, but we've got a job to do and we have to make sure our fans are happy with what we get. They're our paying customers and we're trying to do our best for them. |
I'm not going to say we're better, that's not going to happen when you lose a player like Ronnie. [But] as far as chemistry goes, we're a lot better. We're still deep. We have some emotional guys, but we'll be fine. |
I've been around a while. I kinda know these things. |
I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end. |

If there's a deal out there where we think we can better our team, we will do it. |
It depends on what players are offered. The owners have a say in this, too. They want to do the right thing. If we get a good offer, we'll probably take the player. If we don't get good offers, we'll probably take the (draft) choice and do more scouting this winter and prepare for the draft. I think we'll get a good player out of this. |
It doesn't matter who scores the points, it's who can get the ball to the scorer. |

It seemed like our team was going to the West Coast, stopping off at cities and our players were worried about being traded. Our time for excuses are over. |
It's a very special day for me, |
Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got. Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players. |
