Interviews and reactions from trade after Thursday's practice:

Dmo must be feeling good right now

let's see if he lives up to the talk and pwn howard (can't be that hard right now)

 

McHale: "Who said I was on board with anything?" laughing

 

Understandable. McHale mostly looks at this year's playoffs. Morey looks much further for the team.

 

Boy D-Mo is tired... ) Guess it's a good thing, meaning he works extremely hard...

 

They want rebounding and defense.

 

All of them sound so sad except Harden. Which makes sense since I guess Harden's has had the least time with them.

 

Wow McHale doesn't sound exceited about this trade a bit. I hope he figures out how to play TRob, or we will be really shorted handed. Come on the guy is a rebounder. That much is clear, right? Give him some minutes when Asik is on the bench. How hard can it be? He is young, but it's not like he's never played the game of basketball before

 

I understand the moves we made but also empathize with coach especially when we are trying to get a playoff spot. We took out 4 rotational players out of the mix and will have to adjust on the fly.

 

I sort of feel stressed out for D-Mo's sake. He must know that he's going to be under the microscope every minute he gets tomorrow night, and knowing that he's got a ton of talent behind him wanting to steal those minutes away.

Tomorrow nights game should be a pretty important game in his career for sure.

 

the reason they got mchale is because he wouldn't have too much of a say on FO operations. Adelman wanted a say in that , a big reason to why he walked.

 

As a former GM, McHale should understand...but he is in coach mode, not GM mode.

He really liked PPat and was playing the guys he was comfortable with as a coach.

Morey Adelman'd him.

 

i really like dmo's attitude.. refreshing in this diva-dominated league

 

As a coach if you lose both your starting 4 and your backup 4, it is pretty frustrating. Its like having to amputate someone's arm and only being given a plastic knife. Glad he kept the guys focused yesterday.

 

Anyone know if the new guys practiced today?

 

No, I believe they arrived after practice ended.

 

Terrance Robinson needs to be a Faried type player which we desprately need!

 

Absolutely right.

 

I'm beginning to like Morey more and more....teams gonna be fine going forward. We are one key player and a improved JLin from officially contending.

 

Well Adelman didn't walk as much as he was shown the door, he constantly fought with the FO and refused to work with them. I'm glad he's gone.
