There's some unique things about his contract
00:03
that we had to pay attention to.
00:05
There's other teams that were loading up
00:07
that he was going to be able to decide
00:09
to make his own decision at some point of whether he
00:12
wants to be here or not, whether we want to supermax him or not,
00:15
or whether he wants to opt out.
00:17
So I think we had to take all that into consideration
00:19
and feel like we got out in front of what could have
00:21
been a tumultuous summer.
00:22
So the easiest thing for me to do is do nothing,
00:25
and everyone would praise me for doing nothing.
00:27
But we really believe in it, and time
00:30
will tell if I'm right.
00:31
Defense wins championships, and we're
00:33
bringing in one of the best two-way players in the league.
00:35
A lot of people don't talk about what he does defensively
00:38
and offensively, but if you guys,
00:40
you can name first-team all-NBA players that are also
00:43
first-team all-defensive players.
00:45
That's a unique unicorn to try to find,
00:48
and we're able to find that.
00:49
And as well, you look at Max Christie.
00:52
He was their starting two guard, guarded all the top players
00:55
in the league, and he's young and athletic and bouncy
00:58
and gets his hands on lots of balls.
01:00
So we really feel that they're adding into the culture
01:04
that we're trying to create here.
01:06
We feel that defense wins championships,
01:08
and we're excited to go.
01:10
We feel like we're built to win now as well as in the future.
