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.
anymore few found further happened incident last sort truly type
To me, when we sort of found out what truly happened . . . we were much more comfortable with it. Also, he's not on probation anymore (having been so for two years). And there's been no further incident of any type for the last few years.
happened time
He did have a run-in with his coach, and that's something that's unfortunate. It isn't like that's the first time that's happened to anybody.
advice decisions great happens quick rush suggestion
He got a great (recent) MRI report. My suggestion is to see how it goes. That would be my advice. Not to rush back. But not to make any quick decisions and see how it goes. Because you can never tell what happens in a month.
great happen looked
He looked great in pre-season and for something like this to happen really hurts. But he is going to come back.
agents attempt change draft fact free happens majority restricted sure whatever
Whatever happens doesn't change the fact that we want him with us. Many guys, probably the majority (of first-round draft picks), go to being restricted free agents . . . But we're sure going to make the attempt to see if we can get something done.
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.
guards happy
Earl is one of the up-and-coming guards in this league. We're happy to have him.

addition depth excited gives great guards league
Earl is one of the up-and-coming guards in this league and we're excited to have him. His addition gives us great depth in our backcourt.
ability shot talk teach
First of all, you've got to have the ability to get off a big-time shot and the ability to make it. You can't teach that. You can talk about it, but it's a knack.
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.
four three
We wanted him to think about it for three or four days.
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.
