I look at this as similar to that situation. There’s hope here. I feel hope. Chris Bosh is a future superstar. The kids drafted should blend in with him. That’s something to build around, build...

We looked at this team and where we were and knew it was time to rebuild. We were the sixth oldest team in the league. We needed youth, enthusiasm and potential … I’ve been involved...

My experience with coaches over the years is that after games, after losses, or under the pressures of the job, they need to vent. Over the years, I guess I’ve developed good ears.

We are a team in transition and need to play our young guys.

A player has to commit to it. A player has to want to do it. You can’t just rely on your athletic ability. You have to grow, you have to learn. You have to have...

As part of our strategic plan, one of the top priorities to move this franchise forward has to be to get under the salary cap. I’ve never seen a team rebuild itself without starting from...

I’m the guy who traded Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

I think what’s important for him to realize is what’s first and foremost is we always protect the integrity of the organization, the city of Toronto and the game. That has to be the most...

We don’t know. We’re in a lot of conversations back and forth right now.

Sometimes you don’t know where winning comes from. One year in Cleveland, we drafted Brevin Knight and Derek Anderson and I’ll be damned if we didn’t win 47 games. When you get young, enthusiastic energetic...

We’ll listen and explore some things, yes.

To me, he’s a terrific player. I had mixed emotions about that because I really liked Jalen as a person and a basketball player but this is the NBA, we’ve all been there before.

No, no possibility at all.

I had to start over in Milwaukee and were able to build a (good) team. When I went to Cleveland (in 1985 as vice-president and GM) we did the same thing with a blend of...

Cap room is very important to a franchise that’s in transition. It’s much easier to build because it gives you a lot of flexibility.

This is kind of tough for me because Rob recommended that the organization bring me. I’m very grateful for that. I will try to steer franchise towards the ultimate goal of winning a championship. Of...

We’re going into February and Aaron hasn’t played much. And we’re committed to a youth movement. It was only right and respectful for him, to give him a chance to play elsewhere if he can.

Even last year when I came in here, I thought expectations were perhaps misjudged,

I look at this as similar to that situation, … There’s hope here. I feel hope. Chris Bosh is a future superstar. The kids drafted should blend in with him. That’s something to build around,...

I was cut in my rookie year,
