Abide Quotes

The league thinks if one team does it, everybody is going to do it, and it would set a precedent by letting everybody go there and get benefits above and beyond what the collective bargaining agreement calls for. I don't agree or disagree. That's what the league is ruling, and I'm going to abide by it.

Asset Quotes

We have a great team and great coach. And we have an asset that a lot of teams don't have with Yao in the middle.
