The good folks over @ Blog-A-Bull have a good summary and a link to a radio interview with Paxson on the status of the team.
QUOTE Here's a short summary of Pax's comments:
On trades * Says that Lakers were never really interested in trading Kobe. Said that the Lakers ultimately had control of everything despite talk of Kobe asserting his muscle on things. * Agrees that having a superstar is important but the deals are hard to make. * Bulls were in the mix for Garnett and he thought they had a chance but it didn't work out. Alludes to problem of giving up too much for 1 guy. * Dismisses talk of him being too in love with the team. Is not afraid to pull the trigger if he needs to. On Skiles * He talked to Skiles personally about his harsh comments about TT and said he was right to apologize. * Hinted that his relationship with Skiles has been tested as the loosing has continued, but no indication that he could be fired anytime soon. On players * Guys have to step up and play at a consistent level every game * North called Pax out about Hinrich and Wallace's poor play. * Wallace's standard has to be double digit rebounds every game. * Has no answer about Hinrich * says TT needs to play with the effort he had in 2nd half against ATL every night. |

I just knew he said something to Skiles about TT, and I'm kind of surprised that the Kobe deal wasn't really much but a KG deal was, hmmm...
