“We're closer than that. I've tried to look at this all along and say, 'We obviously value Tyson.' We acknowledge a lot of things out there and that because of his size and athletic ability he's a valuable player. So I've approached the negotiations that way.”
“We talked about if there was a way to do something. Again, we're just in the beginning stages of this thing. You look at how long this thing with Tyson [had] gone on, and Leon and I have just started on Eddy. There are a lot of issues to work through with Eddy.”
“We're very happy that we have come to terms with Tyson and that he will remain a member of the Chicago Bulls, ... Tyson's play last season was an important factor to our success and we hope to take the next step forward with Tyson being a major contributor to our team.”
“We've done everything in our power to be protective of Eddy, show our concern and passion for him. All we want to do is get as many answers as we can get. It's coming to a point where next week, there's going to be a decision made.”
