At this point, I don't think (the Nuggets have been invited). (Finley is) sort of organizing it the way he feels is best.

That's what I hear. That's sort of the rumor mill.
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.
best chance core george group hard likes loves major patient sort team
Before you make a major sort of move, I'd like to give this team a chance to play together. George really likes this team. He loves the core group of guys. And I like them a lot, too. Sometimes it's hard being patient and waiting. But sometimes that's the best thing to do.
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.

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.

We wanted him to think about it for three or four days.

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.
