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.
against either everybody played quickness separated strong
Everybody who either played with him or against him would put him right there with the best. He was relentless. Obviously, he was very strong and deceptively quick. It was that quickness that separated him from everyone else. You just couldn't keep up with him.
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.
ask concern condition doctors expected fair full information informed primary respect
First and foremost, our primary concern is Julius' health. The doctors have informed us that he is in fair condition and is expected to make a full recovery. That is all the information we have at this time. We ask that you respect his privacy.
four three
We wanted him to think about it for three or four days.
guys
There are a lot of guys on the board.
best contact fans great julius knew people thank time whoever
We can't thank them enough, whoever that was. We come in contact with great people all the time through our fans and we have some of the best fans in the world and I don't think they even knew who Julius was.
best great security
We have great security here. They responded very, very quickly. They are, in my view, some of the best in the business.
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.
good half interested job last
Obviously, we're very interested in (the three). They did a very good job for us the last half of last year.
