believe help movement trade
We got Steve. I think if you look at the movement in the league, that was a pretty significant trade and I really believe he'll help us.
coached david except helps hurt hurts rotation san settled three year
I've never coached that way, where we've never had a set rotation, except my first year in San Antonio, we had a lot of injuries. That's really hurt the team. It hurts your progress. All of a sudden, we settled on David at the three and we have the three-guard rotation for the most part. It helps everybody, I think.
earned figure help rookies trying
I won't play the rookies all the time, but they earned it. It's going to take some time. We're trying to figure out who can play and who can help us.

He's a good basketball player. He's going to help our young guys just with his presence.
basketball build city finally help time
Basketball started for me in this city and I want to be here when it's finally time for me to stop, ... I'm not here to retire. I'm here to help build something that will be around for a long time.
david guys helped jackson situation stern
I'd like to put Stu Jackson and David Stern and some of those guys in that same situation and see how they would have reacted. He helped get things under control.
guys help hopefully people pressure tried
We tried but we just we have some deficiencies that hopefully Jalen will help alleviate. I think he'll take a lot of pressure off the perimeter people and make the big guys bigger.
buy help impacts negative trying
Yeah, if he'll buy into what we're trying to do, which I don't think is very difficult, and I don't think it impacts him in a negative way at all. I think it will help him.
great help
Timmy would help anybody. It would be a great pickup.
cares coach everybody good help knows players respect supportive wants
They respect Mr. Dolan and know he cares and wants to do everything he can to help us win. But it's up to us to coach better and the players to play better. Everybody knows how supportive he is, and I think that's a good thing.
easy good guys help job knows players style team understand
You don't have players on the team that can't play a style that's comfortable for the coach. Isiah and I understand that. He knows the guys I like in the league. It's not easy to make trades. My job is to find out what these guys can do and if they can do the things we think will help us be a good team for the long run.
blessed coach coaches happens happier help people players position privilege taught
You don't get to the position I've been able to get to without a lot of help from other people. I've been blessed with the players I've had the privilege to coach and the coaches who taught me, I know when something happens for me those people are happier than me.
coach felt help mature team true vital
The way we want to coach and play . . . he exemplifies all of those things. I thought with this young team he was vital for us because he's the most mature and the most experienced and really a true professional. I felt it would really help the young guys.
