[•Toronto's Jalen Rose, appearing on] Best Damn Sports Show Period, ... I'm pretty sure I've never heard anybody in professional sports make a comment so negative that early in the season. ... The Bad News Bears coach wouldn't even tell them that. |
[Alston really smoothed things out in the locker room following the game, telling the media that he was] tired of getting into it with my teammates and my coaches. ... might not even play the rest of the season. |
As you know, I don't comment on trades. I will say we've had discussion with them. I can't go into specifics other than we've had discussions. |
But those things usually work themselves out during training camp. |
Chris, along with Rafer Alston and Jose Calderon, would give us flexibility in the guard positions. ... Chris was the starting point guard for a playoff team in Chicago and won a national championship with Duke. At just 23 years of age, he offers a lot of potential. |

Even bad teams have optimism. The Bad News Bears' coach wouldn't even tell his team that. |
First, we eventually are going to need that roster spot, |
He gives us insurance at the point guard position and will help our younger players develop. |
He was the logical choice. We're loaded at his position. He wasn't going to play that much so this makes sense for both parties. |
He's a real man who has a strong character. He's not one of those guys who will come in and complain that they aren't staying in a five-star hotel. |
I can't go into any of the financial details, but some things were worked out that will help us, |
I don't make comments on any trade discussions or rumors, |
I think if you look at us on paper, we probably will not win as many games as last year. |
I was very surprised. I had no idea this was coming. They told me they want someone with more experience. |
