added basketball great guy help piece puzzle team ways win
We think we've added another top-line piece of the puzzle and a great talent. To get a guy like this I feel very blessed. There are many ways that this guy can help our team win basketball games.
basic bulk feet good guy high moves outside paint shot
(Lampe is) a guy who moves his feet well. He can play outside. He's got an outside shot and he's very active. He's not your basic post-up paint guy. He's good on high pick-and-roll, side pick-and-roll, a pick-and-pop guy and he's got some bulk to him.
against bunch fit four guy josh perfect playing somebody talked
He can play the one, two or three, and we've talked about the four or five, ... You can find a bunch (of playing time) for a guy who can play like that. He can even rebound. If you're going up against a Josh Howard in the playoffs, you need somebody that's 6-5. He's a perfect fit for us.
build creates double fit game guys people players require spot system teams
Around Olajuwon, all our guys were spot shooters. Now that we have two guys require double teams (Yao and McGrady), we want people to do the same things. To build around superstars, you have to have players that fit in the system you're playing. Their game creates a big advantage.

From what I've been told, everything went as well as you would expect and would hope. We'll just let Yao get over the surgery and give him the best possible treatment to assist his recovery.

I believe there is still a possibility for Yao to participate in the world championships.

We got a chance to get a young talent here so we went for it.

We think this gives Gerald a good opportunity to get some valuable playing time and continue working on his game.
coaching defender effective fortunate good jeff paint people proved shooter size summer team
We like his energy, size and I think he'll be a very good defender under Jeff (Van Gundy) and the coaching staff. He can be effective in the paint and he proved on the summer team that he is a much better shooter than people thought he was. We feel fortunate to have him signed.
