“At this time, you either develop it or trade for it, unless you're waiting for next summer. I would assume that we're either going to try to make a trade for it — yeah, we definitely do need a little more scoring punch. Our defense has been solid.”
“Being on the Celtics, it means more because this is the team that started it. I like having Maxwell start and do his damage, and then throw in McHale.”
“It was a tough decision to trade Wally. He has been the ultimate professional and a very good player for us through the years. I wish him nothing but the best of luck with the rest of his NBA career.”
“I thought that we wanted to change up. We lost so many close games, and when you lose close games, you're usually a player or two away or chemistry away or a little bit of both. I didn't know if it was all jelling chemistry-wise. I thought we'd shake it up a little bit and add some new pieces.”
“I think Ricky, like a lot of players, has matured. He's playing better. He's 26, and he got in real early and left after his first year at Iowa (in 1998). I think his passing has been tremendous. I like the way he handles the ball. He's a tremendous defender.”
