exactly past perceived
Overall, I think that the past incidents, sometimes it's not exactly what it's perceived to be.
eventually
I'd like to think that it will eventually pass.
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.
conclusion jon wants
Jon really has to come to the conclusion that he wants to do this.
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.
whatever
He's a very, very important part of whatever we do. We want Melo with us for a long time.
court fair few george looks shake team
I think that we want to give Eisley a fair shake here. I think the team and George is comfortable with him. I think they would like to see what he looks like out on the court for a few games.
guards happy league
Earl is one of the up-and-coming guards in this league and we're happy to have him.
buck doubt everybody signed statement
Everybody is very happy. No doubt Buck could have signed for more elsewhere, but what a statement he made (by returning).
determined everybody hurt prove
He's going to come back 100 percent. He's hurt right now, but he's determined to come back and prove everybody wrong.
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.
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.
bothers change culture major type
That always bothers me. That was one of the major challenges, to change the culture (of the team). . . . I do think you're going to get that type of thing once in a while.
