Before the end of the season? That's weird.

It is isn't it... I had to check the schedule to make sure there were in fact more games.

Sound kicked in halfway through Ellington.

Lin is next... Which may be rather interesting.

Lin won't be back. (my impression not fact)
I worry that the early exit interviews are the guys that won't be back... But Randle tho?

None of the guys have sounded that excited about a return... Ellington said he wanted to, but didn't sound like it was likely.

Lin thinks he's a starter. Took a swipe at going from a winning team to a loosing team and still not starting. Like it was OK in Houston because they were good, but not OK here because not good.

Young doesn't sound like he's planning to be back either.

Randle up now.

Edit:
Not really saying a whole lot just about his rehab and getting his head right. How Kobe helped, etc...

They are moving these interviews right along though. No extra banter, just the facts and on to the next dude.

And that's it... Don't think I've ever seen them get through that many people this fast.

Looks more like the guys who are already out for the season.

The early exit interviews were for the folks that were out for the season

He doesn't really get a say on whether he returns, since he's locked into the contract and not a free agent. It will be up to Mitch on whether to ride the contract out next year or trade him before the season starts.

Sounded to me like Ellington wants to be back, Price just wants a job, and Lin is debating the team situation before deciding

Lin's portion is on youtube for those who haven't seen it and want a first hand account of it.

why so much hate for young? he is a clown but can be a productive clown if we were actually a good team.

Not hate, just personnel restructuring and he doesn't fit unless he's willing to be the 10-12th man on the team, which I highly doubt.

Biggest issue, Scott and Young have had a falling out it seems, easy to see considering their vast difference in approach to the game. Since i don't see the front office letting go of Scott any time soon, naturally the odd man out is Young.

Actually scratch that, I think the length of the deal is an uglier situation as maybe, but unlikely, Scott and Young could repair things. I think it could work short term, but surely not long term.
