good guy heals hopefully last quarter starting tough year
We were so good last year being injury-free. Nick's starting to play pretty good, a really good first quarter (on Sunday). He's a tough guy and hopefully it heals and he will be back.
game good
Brunson had a lot of good things to say, said his feel for the game is very good.
ability complement good luke nice point size skills true
Rick's playmaking ability, ball-handling skills and size make him a nice complement for our team. He is a true point guard, and I think he and Luke Ridnour will give us a good tandem at that position.
decided fit good happy player return shoot three
We're happy Vladimir has decided to return to the Sonics. He's a multi-positional player who can shoot the three and he's a good fit with our team.
amount good graduated league money office severe
It's good that it's a graduated thing. With the amount of money that it used to be, those in the league office didn't think that $500 was severe enough.
fit good player shoot
a multipositional player who can shoot the three, and he's a good fit with our team.
afternoon fact possible response starting talked time
I talked to him this afternoon and acknowledged the fact of possible starting time and (the Timberwolves) revamping their team, and his response was, 'Rick, this is home.'
next plan playoffs
My only plan is next season. I think we're playoff-caliber, and our expectations are we should make the playoffs next year.
body certain comfort somebody type zone
We like that bulky type of center. It was important for us to get somebody with that type of body. And there is a certain comfort zone with Vitaly.
change happen imagine july might wait
We like him. We want him back. I've said we'll try to get something done, and now we'll have to wait and see how it goes. I can't imagine anything that might happen between now and July 1 to change that.
deal help liked somebody targeted
We like him and we've liked him for a long time. We didn't want to do a deal just to do a deal. He's somebody that we targeted and somebody we feel can help us.
depth gives
We are doing center-by-committee, and we have to have that depth there. Vitaly gives us bulk. Mikki gives us length.
adds both excited flip guard next versatile
We're excited to have Flip back next season. He adds explosiveness to our backcourt and is versatile enough to play both guard positions.
center committee needed teams
We basically, like most teams in this league, do center by committee. We needed another committee member.
