attribute betting build floor free growing guys hard head improve next players potential quality quickly quite season year
We'll let the whole year play out ... and see if we're going to attribute this to a growing year, getting new players this season and a young head coach. We'd have to build quickly next year, though. It's very hard to get a quality player (in free agency). Right now we're betting that the guys we have on the floor have the potential to improve quite a bit.
advantage convince
We will try to convince him that it would be to his advantage to play with us.
easier game next
It would be easier if we could just say it's one thing. One game it's the defense, the next game it's the offense, another game it's something else.
ability admire came forgot great love particular rise rough saw tremendous
The things that I admire him most for are his competitiveness and an ability to rise out of a rough neighborhood. The thing we all saw about him was his great love for his fans, in particular children. He just had a tremendous personality. He never forgot where he came from.
cause certainly financial help player rid salary signed somebody summer until york
Yeah, it isn't that we couldn't use somebody like that. We certainly could with his experience, and we know him. It's that he was signed at a salary that's going to cause us problems. So it would be difficult, it would have to be one of those things where New York would have to say that they really want to get rid of the player and could help us in some financial way to do it. We wouldn't know until this summer if that would even be a possibility.
results sam year
I think Sam is a closer, which is what we could have used right now. Sam could do that. The results are Sam is probably having a better year than Marko is having.
I don't know. We'll see if we get to that point.
stand
I do not see that as a possibility. As I stand here, I just don't see a possibility that makes sense.
I do not see that as a possibility.
came problem work
I came to work right away. That's the problem with those competitive guys.
below close felt looking number player teams won
If we had won a number of those close games, we probably wouldn't have thought about doing the trade. Looking at the results, which were below our expectations, we felt we had to do something. Wally was a player other teams wanted.
surprised valued
I have always valued his input. He has not surprised me with any of his comments.
asking basketball both decision few fred front gotten join minute office past player retire waste
We have gotten to know Fred very well over the past few years, both as a basketball player and as a person. When Fred relayed to us his decision to retire we didn't waste a minute in asking him to join our front office staff.
best broke fix machinery money
We didn't really feel poor. You don't know that as a kid, but we really didn't have any cash. When machinery broke down, we didn't have money for parts, so we did our best to fix it.
