I will be listening to the entire interview but I am sure many others will be listening. It may not start at 4pm. It might come on between 4pm-4:30.

Got it, on now.

Stefanski on Speights:
I can't spell either his first or last name.

He says that there is more chance he'll have a full head of hair again than Love will be there at 16.

Best workout they've had so far is McGee.

Stefanski on Elton Brand:
"is he that kid from duke?"

(note, it was a joke, he can't talk about players under contract).

He just said the latest estimate is 11 million under the cap.

"all that speculation with the Knicks, with that player he's talking about, I have had no talks with Donnie Walsh. All the speculation is from Maurice Cheeks previously coaching the guy..."

"...we have talked to teams about moving up. But today, June 10th, we have not pinpointed the guy that we say, geez, let's give up assets and get up and get him".

Summary:

-Talked Finals, Powe (People scared of his knees)
-Mock draft-> Speights: Can't spell his name. Good around basket, good upside. would consider along with 12 other guys at that pick. Said "not a high flier on defense."
-Kevin Love: No way he will be there at 16.
-Alexander: "athletic, can score", might be there at 16
-Current workout: MacGee is best so far. Really long, skilled, Athletic on defense.
-Played Brand clip: Coul;dn't comment until he decides to opt out. "The ball is in Elton Brands court." No comment.
Talked salary, why would a player opt out for less money (11M from Sixers.) Possibly for security/long term or change of scenery
-Taked trading cap for picks. Can't move with cap space until 7/1.
-Can you move up/Knicks speculation?:Denies any communication. "There is nothing there."
Have talked to teams about moving up, but they have yet to ID a guy they want to jump up to take...yet.

Not much talent in Europe right now. has been "strip mined" by the NBA.

That is what Stefanski said, however it was a hype job by the New York media to get Randolph out of town , so they could have a chance at James in 2010. Do not believe everything you hear, Bodner.

Boy, that was good for nothing.

I got what I wanted to know. The Zach deal was a farse.
