I emerged from summer league feeling that I would have no trouble, no problem playing Wayne Simien. And I think that's the first step for any player. ... Can a coach put you in the game and feel OK about it? I think he has the skills and the smarts and the toughness where you would have no problem. |

I expect Shaq will be the most dominant force in the NBA. I've got a little bit of history to back that up. |
I expect those two guys to play at even a higher level, because I think we've got some guys that can also make the game a little easier for them. |
I have great confidence in him, |
I haven't seen too many guys spend their summers in a defensive stance. |
I like it when he takes the ball off the board. It's one of the best ways to run a break. He has the ability to do that. He showed a lot of versatility. He'll play a huge role for us. |
I look at this game like anything that happens is good. Any mistakes you make, you're going to be able to learn from them. And if guys play well, great. |
I made this decision for one reason and one reason only: I love my family. |
I obviously don't know the team here, but I know they're young, I know they're offensively extremely talented ... I think the team will get better as the year goes on. |
I saw your face on the sticks on Pardon the Interruption . That's big. |
I thought guys were trying to make good plays but our spacing was really fouled up. |
I thought our defense was horrible the entire night. Besides throw the ball to Shaq, we've got to find other ways to score. |

I thought we sucked it up and played very, very hard. ... That has to be the model for us in terms of how to finish the game. |
