Nelson: I actually thought that it was important that we make a move of any kind to get rid of Joe Barry Carroll. He had outlived his usefulness in Golden State. He had become an unpopular player. He had the nickname of "Joe Barely Cares." I knew Ralph was hurt, had been struggling, and probably was never going to return to what he was. I still pulled the trigger because I thought it was important to make that move.
Sampson and Dream could play together because they were hella talented and both had multifaceted offensive games. Not so much with Asik and Howard.

Reid: "They broke us up intentionally because they wanted Bird and Magic. They knew L.A. would never get past us..." ....... ....... .......
