[Money] will be looked at along with other factors, and ultimately Michael will have to prioritize. |
All the teams he was considering are great organizations with an opportunity to win a championship, which is very important at this stage in his career. With San Antonio, he felt he could come in and play a key role in trying to defend their championship. |
At the end of the day, it's a way of taxing large corporations. Small businesses simply couldn't handle that type mandate, but perhaps it is does make more sense for large corporations. There's no easy solution to the nation's health care crisis and everyone is going to have to give some to craft a win-win outcome. |
Brandon had a monster first half. He helped us get back in it. |
He appeals to corporate America because he does have a clean-cut image. He has no tattoos. At the same time, the way he plays, he does appeal to the hip-hop generation. |
He brought us back in the fourth. We were trying to get him the ball (toward the end of the game) but we just couldn't. |
He had a good conversation. He has a tremendous amount of respect for the team. Obviously, they're one of the up-and-coming teams? He had a lot of good choices. He had to narrow that list down. |
He had a tough time. They (the Suns) were in it to the end. |
He played like I saw him play in the summer league and the fall league. He was just relaxing and letting the game come to him. |
He really stepped up. He's had two really good practices this week, and so has Jake (Griffin) and Billy (Canada). When the practice that hard, you like to see them carry that over into the game. |
He really stepped up. That was one of his better games. All of these guys who came off the bench really helped us. |
He understands we're fairly non-threatening. |
He was attracted to the idea that he's going to be the face of the brand and financially they made it worthwhile enough that he was willing to forgo the opportunity to see what the market said after next season. |
He's already done some positive things that are going to help put him in a positive light again. He wants to be involved in the community in Salt Lake City. |
He's been coming around. He's had some good practices lately, and they're starting to carry over into the game. That's just what we need. |
