Season kick off Press Conference.

40 minute Q&A

We getting close to finally seeing some action.

Confirmation... Otto and Glen will be targeted to replace Trevor A one on one D, while Paul will get integrated as a team defender which he does well.

Asked how many game they might win this year. Randy says he doesn't project things like that. Never been that kind of guy. But the number that did comes out of his mouth was 54 wins. That number was in there for some reason. He didn't say 40 or 60. I suspect he thinks thats about what he thinks they can win on the high side.

Then mentioned division title, ECF. Whats it going to be.

Randys focuses on his own team and the next thing it needs to do one step at a time. Which is how you actually have to go about it in one respect.. He doesn't want them overly focused on the end goal, but you can count on it that they are thinking about that stuff as well from time to time. For me, I think players and teams need to find the balance of using both to get them there.

Oww. EG got asked about a DL team and gave us a crumb that they would be looking at that. Hopefully after Dray comes off the books that 8M wasted can be put to good use. I assume they are 2 years off at least. They seem to have the relationship with team that they need right now.

Nene seems to be in good spirits and in good shape. The FIBA thing worked out well for him.

Randy sounds positive on Kevin S. He is maturing and his body is right. Says he is physically sound. Remember, Kevin has knee issues last year.

We share the D_league affiliate with 4-5 teams. "looking at that" is that kind of answer I expect from Ernie.

What happened to the Press Conference to introduce Pierce, Humphries and Blair? Nothing on welcoming them to DC.

Good question.

I would have to assume now that everyone is here, they would do that.

Unless they would rather stay low key and just get to practicing and do individual interviews like that.
