We've got enough firepower to win without him. If one person goes down, the other guys have to step up.
He's a guy I looked up to and went to when I didn't understand something. Eddie told me the way. When he left, I called and thanked him for showing me the way, showing me the ropes.
It's all a win-now philosophy. We've got some old guys on this team. Gary (Payton) ain't got five, six more years left. Shaq ain't got five, six more years left. That is the reason the trade was made. We'd be kidding ourselves if we thought the trade was for us to grow together for the next three years. No, it's not. We understand that.
Guys know what they need to do, but at the same time, I think they're still trying to understand what coach Riley wants them to do.
I want more, ... If you go out and search for those things, you got to be willing to take what comes with it. I'm going to be more busy this year than I have been in the past, but at the same time, I understand that none of those things come if wasn't for basketball.
This builds character for a team, ... I'm just happy it happened earlier in the season. Hopefully, this will make us better.
I told him he's got to hold his end of the bargain up. I'm tired of carrying us.
No question at all. They're exactly the same.
That's a big reason the trade was made so we'd have a lot of guns.
It's kind of scary where he's at right now, at 21 years old and the way he dominates games. If I didn't know him, I would be surprised (by his development). He's one of the most level-headed guys I've ever met, and he has a will to be the best.
It's going to be hard to try to convince him anyway with a new baby on the way. That's something he has to decide.
It was on one bunny hop in the lane. When I pulled up, it caught right there. I just kept trying to play. I tried to stay going as long as possible. I'll be alright.
He's getting in better shape. When a big guy like him is out for 18 games, it's like taking what he did in training camp and what he did in the summer and throwing it out the window. He's getting more active on both sides of the floor. He's getting deep and we're finding him now. He's going up strong and finishing.
He's got his legs back and he's finishing his plays. He's more active getting deep and we're looking for him and finding him.
