From where I'm sitting, I don't see him getting traded. |
He had a knee operation when he was in high school. He's never missed a game with the knee problem in the N.B.A.; never missed a practice or game. The only thing he's ever missed any games for in the N.B.A. was for an elbow operation. |
He probably won't play until after Christmas. We want him to be 100 percent. |
He sat out his five games but there is still a little inflammation. We only have the two games this week, and then we're off [for awhile] so it makes sense to give him some rest now. We want to make sure it's not chronic. |
He was a big piece to our puzzle and a quality player. So if it works out that we don't complete the trade, then we've lost a quality player. |
He's a good athlete who has had some moments in the league. We're hopeful he can give us some help on our bench. |
He's a good shooter, he's a force down low and draws a lot of fouls. We feel he's a player who can play in our rotation and help us. |
I don't have any indication one way or the other right now, but I assume that he will join the team, ... As far as I'm concerned, he's property of the Nets. Obviously, he has the prerogative of retiring, but we're going to have a conversation with him and see what transpires. I don't think he wants to retire. |
I think he's one of the top two or three candidates for Coach of the Year. |
I think we can play most others. |
I think we have proven that we can beat anybody on any given night. Now, can we do it four out of seven times? |
I think we've just played very solidly. And when you play solidly, you tend to do well. We have some talented players. If we're doing the right things on both ends of the court, then we're going to be successful over the long haul. |
I think with Dajuan, he's obviously a very talented young man, |
I'm happy to hear that, obviously. Since he's come back [from surgery], he seems to be happy. No. 1, his leg is better and there seems to be no trepidation. And I think he was very happy when we traded for Vince Carter, as he said, a big time player. |
I'm sure that the league will attempt to find out who the official was. |
