How we play philosophy on then every day, Like what we're talking today will be telling them nine months in a row every day we did real, go over the same points, more or less and just try to find to a lot of watching.

Well, because we were just trying, you know?

Hey, was he didn't a lot early.

He's going to be on the Limited.

We won't build him up first week, especially, but he'll be ready.

Well, he hasn't played all summer, eyes recovering, and I always want to make sure that you know he wants to go.

We wanted to go and you get too enthusiastic and you know what's the point?

So we'll wrap him up is a really long you get the new emphasis on watching, traveling more carefully.

This year's gonna affect James now, James, were they which is great.

They made a point to tell every head coach there that is not travel and it's not travel, so hopefully it'll coaches will quit complaining, and hopefully you guys in the news will understand that's not traveling.

There's other points that we have to clean up that are traveling, and the NBA's gonna try to do a better job.

What are those?

Just when you when you take off and you catch and you do the splits are you move your pivot foot, all that stuff that happens all the time, they're gonna try to get all of them.

They change the mechanics on how they look at it, and it's gonna be a big barge going.

Take some adjustment.

Some habits have to be broken.

That's start drive the start driving at which they all are ever Every team's guilty of a lot, you know?

And then they looked at all I'm now every once a while, Maybe there is one like anything else.

But his move, his patented move is not a travel that's the ways to find in the rule book and is so he can go out for some reason had No, no, no, just Well, because everyone you guys says travel so other.

Not that may be the only reason, but isn't trying, which is good.

What do you think of this?

Two weeks you're going?

Why enjoy?

Well, we got a lot of stuff we gotta cover.

We got Thank God we got a veteran team, so we'll get to the meat of a quicker on.

They know more or less we have to find to and everything.

So two weeks or it would be a great trip.

Looking forward to A Y and Japan, it's Superboy.

We won't forget what we're over there for us to take care of business and should be great.

Is there a little extra challenge to get ready when In the 1st 2 weeks you've got three travel days?

You got two off days when you get back, you've got a lot of responsibilities in Tokyo.

Yeah, is it really cut into training camp and the ideas of what you want to do?

It does.

But again, because of veteran group, they know how to play right now way have insert one guy from Tyson and different guys, but most guys are back.

They know what we're doing.

We just preach the same thing over and over and you know, it's it's a challenge, but you know, when February comes, nobody remembers free season anyway.

I saw WAY have a lot of work to get in, but the same time it should be formed for the team quit, was talking yesterday about the summer he had and coming off a down sweat playoff series.

Yeah, does he?

Is that something you imagined?

Just put aside.

It's too bad weeks or is it something you want to build off of and use to make the improvements you mentioned yesterday?

We'll claim that Clinton had a little down toward the end because he got sick.

He had a virus that that got him.

And then once in the playoffs, you get sick.

I don't feel good.

You're playing against the best in the league, so it's understandable.

But hopefully that will galvanize him in every years, gotten better every year.

He's improved, and I expect him to the same thing this year.

He had a great work with.

His national team has come in ready to roll, you know, barring on four unforced seen circumstances, he's gonna be great.

And here is great.

He's a big part of what we dough.

How vital is he to whatever you accomplished?

It doesn't work without him, Uh, and it's very few that could do what he does.

He's he's a gym and just his character in a way it goes about it and he wants to be great.

So he's 25 years old.

If I'm not mistaken Young every year, it gets better.

For a while, it seemed to seem like the contending team.

How, like three superstars.

And now it seems to be more trending towards just having to like you guys do what?

Why do you think that is money, you know, and again, a lot of the lot of it is media driven in the sense of, you know, we got a recording superstar.

Gorgeous goes in back in the late, and he's proven that.

So you know, you kind of focus on We've only got two because that's the name, too.

But, uh, every team Tomei.

I'm trying to think of different examples, but probably money and cab does create an equal system forever about in just what worked out.

But the same time there's a lot of great teams with a lot of great players and whether one is deemed a superstar star.

We have guys like we just talked about clip.

He's goes in buying the leg.

Eric Gore's goes in by the Lake p J.

Tucker.

His visit any better goes in my leg.

So we have a bunch of superstars you think Eric is under.

What about a lot of people?

Yeah, but you guys know what we know what?

The team knows it, but he is just You don't get any better now.

You don't just doesn't happen.

You talk about Prince a lot about guys you have on this roster and the relationships they have coming in.

You have something like Russ and James friendship coming in Dog Bo and Clint, How important are those relationships and friendships outside of basketball toe?

What you want to do is think is important.

It's work together.

A lot of a lot of times, obviously is important.

Each individual be more important, less more.

I don't know that the most important, they have a good relationship with him.

So But you know, you spend a lot of time, you go out to dinner with a lot of people and if you have friends from childhood, it might be better.

Maybe it's worse, but I just think the whole team should be should be close on with the respect that they have.

That's that's great with veterans and no one's trying up anybody.

Everybody understands the role.

And again, if you have that relationship, can't hurt.
