affect attitude careful contract money nba russian today until
That's the Russian roulette in the NBA today because of the escalation of salaries. You have to be careful that you give that kind of contract to the right guy. And you never know how money is going to affect a guy's attitude until he has it.
accused agents bitter convinced fathers lottery nba prouder
I'm like one of his fathers who couldn't be prouder of him. It's a long story, but at the bitter end his agents accused me of badmouthing him to the NBA people; because they had convinced him he was a lottery pick.

Everybody said he would be the guy to bring up. When he was at Iowa State, I thought that guy was going to be a terrific NBA player. He had good size, and he kind of had an NBA game when he was in college.

He really did a good job. He had a good attitude. He was in here early every day. I would venture to guess he was in here when he didn't have to be. I think he's an NBA player.

We just weren't there, sorry, we just weren't there. It's huge to have a training camp. But they were just better than us tonight. They were a step ahead of us, stayed a step ahead of us. We just didn't get in the game. Nothing worked. We just got our butts kicked.

We fully expect to try to make the playoffs. We're five games out of the loss column and we're in first place in our division. These are the kind of games we have to get.
