Thought I'd throw it out there already.

I know you've got a lot of big decision coming up.

You know, free agency.

I thought I'd come out swinging.

What?

Do your thoughts on free agency coming up with your thoughts on this organization?

How you're feeling right now, um, tell you that I haven't I haven't thought about it too much.

I mean, I got to sit down in, um, and really talk to my team.

Not like the the team here with organization.

But I have so many guys that sacrifice so much to make sure that Oh, I'm able to play at a high level.

You know, I want to make sure that their families were happy, Just like I'm happy when it comes to Armando and Jane's and my brothers and everybody else.

I think if they're happy, I'm happy way.

Sit down on the bed and talk about it and and figure it out from there.

Jimmy, outside of happiness for the whole group.

What?

What else are you looking for?

In a team?

A perfect fit.

You know, you always want to be able to win.

I think that's that's key for sure.

You're looking at coaches.

You're looking at the city.

There's a lot that goes into it.

But I think, uh, for me, as long as I got my people with me as everybody know, I'm cool.

If they happy there smiling, more waking up, knowing we get to work in that environment toe where we're having fun, we get it.

We understand.

But like I said, we there's a long ways away from that.

So I'm, uh I'm not too focused on the right now, uh, Libya here and there.

You know, someone far away from their family right now.

Obviously, I just got here in November so that their families are are here.

You know, I'm not here long term just yet.

So way take it back to the creative and get all the family together going on short vacation and sit down on the map.

It all out to be back here.

Uh, you Obviously you only had Tibbs as a coach before coming here.

So that's Brett West, right?

Who were very glad you did briefly.

But Tibbs was the coach for most year MBA career.

What was your experience like with Brett this year, both regular season playoffs.

What was your relationship like?

Uh, constantly growing, that's for sure.

We just had a slight combo downstairs, and I think he realized how different of a human being that I am.

Oh, how I can be difficult a time, but I swear it is from the right place.

I wanna win.

I work so hard and I study my game and everybody else's.

But I think he's He has a huge heart.

He's a great, great dude, and he works incredibly are.

So you gotta respect that about him?

And he's always thinking of how he could make everybody great, which is hard to do.

And if you have ah, roster like we have slash had, um, but I think he's gonna be here for a long time.

Jimmy, I'm sorry.

Go ahead.

How did you feel, Jimmy, about the evolution of your role and the fit in the offense Mean where you excuse me ended this year in the playoffs was a lot different from where we started After you got here with the team in November.

How did you feel your evolution in that sense came along, I think as a zey year went on.

I got more comfortable with how I was being utilized in offense and on the defensive before as well I got.

I got use everything.

We talked about it, we would.

He would ask my opinion on a lot of different things.

I would legit being the coaches meeting or they want me in there.

Not just because I wanted to know what was always going on at all times and they welcome me.

Didn't welcome me, who knows?

But I got caught breath and I knew what my job waas Jimmy.

Yet is this team right now the way it is built to win a championship?

And a second question is, you had said when you came here, money is not a factor.

I don't know that your agent agrees with that, but as a Max contract important for you for your next deal, I mean, technically, um, I think not going would Hopefully I'll get a max contract anywhere I choose to go, So I don't think you know you're talking for your five year.

That's more than enough money in you.

Anyways, I think I still have more than enough money now, from my my first deal.

Um, I'm not worried about Burnley.

And if he thinks money is this or that but talking about this Roger it is, man, we just had a slight hiccup.

But I think what or hurts more than a loss is the fact that we had a great group of guys that was arrived for one another.

It was special.

We enjoy playing with each other.

You couldn't mess with anybody on the team because somebody else was always gonna be there in your face.

Uh, but to think that this roster may not be the exact same next year, that's what that's really areas, Jimmy.

And right here, I know you're only 24 hours removed from the season, But when you go back and reflect on your time since coming to Philadelphia, how can you characterize the journey that you've been on here?

The journey I've been on hell that is s so different than any other place.

Oh, you know, they welcome me.

Welcome me and everybody else they got here That was not here at the beginning.

You with open arms as long as you play hard to say he loves you give it your all.

That's a last.

It is definitely been fun.

T meet and interact with fans and the people that worked for this organization.

They've been absolutely incredible and amazing.

We couldn't be the players that we are without them.

What about the fans?

The people around here?

Patrick Reese.

He works the hardest out Everybody in here, That's for damn sure.

Got you, Fatboy.

You My brought, uh but but seriously, that China has been a been amazing.

We don't know where it goes from here, but I'm very appreciative of the time that I've been here.
