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.
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.

Earl is one of the up-and-coming guards in this league and 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.
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.
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.
best difficult improved looked players team
We've looked at a lot of things. All our players are happy. We're a team that really improved dramatically. We have young players that are still getting better. Again, it's difficult not to do something. But sometimes that's the best thing to do.
rumor sort
That's what I hear. That's sort of the rumor mill.
