feels organizing sort
At this point, I don't think (the Nuggets have been invited). (Finley is) sort of organizing it the way he feels is best.
added good variety versatile watched
I've watched DerMarr for years and I think that, for a variety of reasons, he's very good for our team. He's added a lot of strength. He's very versatile and he's still young.
along player question
No question he's part of our future. A player like that doesn't come along every day.
apparently julius provoke
Apparently Julius did nothing to provoke this at all.
commented
I've never commented on it. The only thing I will say is I'm very appreciative of what has been done for me and I like (Denver) a lot.
abreast apply both chance george longer stay talented team tried trying view
I've always tried to take a longer view and tried not to apply Band-Aid solutions. This is a very talented team. Both George and I like this team a lot and wanted it to have a chance to play together. But, having said that, we're out there trying to stay abreast of what's going on in the league.
few point question sit sure talk
I've addressed it a few times before. You don't always know what's going to happen. I'm sure that after (Monday night) at some point we'll sit down and talk about my situation. I don't think that's a question for right now.
maybe
That's interesting. Maybe it was a Freudian slip.
deal effort everybody helps rarely satisfies simple spent time
Rarely is it just a simple deal anymore. We spent a lot of time and effort to put a deal together. In the end, I think it's a deal that really helps everybody and satisfies what everyone wanted to do.
certainly deal starting
If things were starting today, he certainly would be. That's all you can really deal with.
free multiple summer tend tough
I'd like to have (Elson) back, definitely. It's always tough every summer (hanging on to multiple free agents) . . . You can't always do it, but you tend to find ways.
eventually
I'd like to think that it will eventually pass.
decisions harder turns
I don't know where it turns out. Some of the decisions are harder than others. With any team, there's going to be changes.
amnesty gets happens looking unique
One of the things we're looking to see is what happens with the amnesty and who gets let go. It's a unique year.
