That Frye Guy speaks!

Great interview with Channing, who seems like a really cool guy. Says he won't be playing this season. Discusses what he brings to the team(spacing, a block, about 7 rebounds, 10-12 points), and sounds really, really thankful to the fans for our support. Lots of praise for Alvin, a mild defense of Sarver, and my favorite moment from the interview @17:20 :

"What are the strengths and some of the things that you get to see from the inside...of Lon Babby and Lance Blanks that you feel they don't get enough credit for?"

" * five second pause *, * sigh *, uhhhhh, * exhale *, I think it's just a tough situation, and...I really * sigh *, it's just a tough situation for them and...they're trying to do the best that they can."

Awesome.

Also said he doesn't really have a relationship with Babby...."he's a business guy, a numbers guy...very different from Steve Kerr. I had a previous relationship with Steve. It's just been different, not better or worse, but...different."

Man I forget this guy is still with the organization sometimes, it must feel weird to still be on the roster but feel so distant from the team

Frye would of got us 4 to 5 extra wins this season. But maybe it's best thing he's out so we can get top 5 pick in the NBA.

HAHA! They just go off on golf in the beginning.

But that Babby/Blanks thing was just awkward, and he struggled to come up with a politically correct "no" answer.

But its weird to here Sarver getting praise this past couple days for being a good guy. Frye said it and even Gentry, seems like his heart is in the right place just the execution.

Sarver seems like a well-intentioned moron(basketball-wise)
