I myself, 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:33.960 Draymond returned to the Warriors lineup yesterday and unfortunately it 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:39.240 came in a losing effort. Would have been very fitting 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.120 and fun to return in Memphis and win a game 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.320 on Martin Luther King Day. 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.360 All the things that didn't. 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.520 Happen, But however, it felt great to be back out 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:53.040 there on the court play twenty three minutes, coming back 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.079 on a miny restriction, which, if I'm quite honest, I 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:57.680 don't necessarily feel. 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.320 Like I need much longer. 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.040 But as you all know, you've heard the name Rick 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:09.280 Celebrini a million times from either myself or other guys 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:13.360 or people around our organization. He is a legend. He 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:18.120 is the don and I don't fight with Rick. I 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.760 take his guidance, I listen to it, and I roll 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.760 with it. Every now and then I push back on it, 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.799 but for the most part, initially I'm always going to 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.280 roll with it because I trust him. It's a lot 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.919 of cases more than I trust myself, and he is 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.160 someone that also protects us from ourselves. 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:38.000 As a competitor. 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.680 You just want to go, go, go, go go, and 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:48.160 Rick is the sound mine is the expert, and like, ah, 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.560 we shouldn't push it pass here because you're putting yourself 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.560 at risk for injury. And after a month of not 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:59.040 playing any NBA basketball, I totally get it. So I 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.120 was on a twenty four minute restriction. Got right up 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.880 to that, and I felt incredible. You know, gotta get 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.800 my time and stuff back my reads. A few things 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.920 felt like they were maybe half a count too slow, 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.440 but not too bad. I felt good to hit the 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.200 first three you come back. You never know how that's 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.359 gonna feel when you got defense running at you, so 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:21.320 that one felt good. 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.920 It also felt good to boot a crowd back because 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:24.400 they were. 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:30.760 Booing like always in Memphis, which is quite crazy that 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.840 the Memphis fans hate me so much, be that they 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:38.880 wanted me a free agency it would have been really 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.960 funny if I ended up in Memphis. It would have 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.560 I just wonder what the reception would have been if 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.440 I actually ended up in Memphis. Uh. But yeah, they 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:55.560 really hate me there, and to be honest, I love it, 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.800 and I love them. I love that they love to 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.440 hate me. I think it's a very great thing. I 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.200 think their fans are hilarious and it's always a good 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.640 time for me. It's always in good fun, except when 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.760 I flick them the double birds when they cheer when 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.680 I got injured. Uh, that was a fun time in 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.640 my life and a fun moment in my NBA career, 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.599 but I felt like they were well deserving at that point, 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.880 Like you cheer for someone getting injured, that's like the 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:31.640 lowest class of class. However, Uh, I love the city 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:36.280 of Memphis. I'm a huge Memphis rap fan. As you 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:41.279 all know. You're talking Gotti, you're talking Dolph, you're talking 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.520 Key Glock, money bag. 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:48.320 Like, I love, absolutely love Memphis rap. 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.360 And then my got rich freshness from Memphis, who always 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.240 keep me looking fresh. So I got nothing but love 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.960 from Memphis. Although they hate and they boo, I love 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:56.680 those boots. 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.239 Keep them coming. It's great. 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.200 Absolutely pissed off that we didn't get a win there 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.600 yesterday because number one, we needed to win. You know, 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.359 sitting here at eighteen and twenty two, we've lost quite 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:10.880 a few. 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:12.840 Games this year that we should have won. 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:18.200 Yesterday was one like on paper we should have won, 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.240 but like if you watch the game, they'll played us, 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.000 and so I don't view that one as like, oh 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.480 we let one get away that we should have won. Yes, 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.240 in theory, but like I'm talking like the O case 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.599 game that we clearly should have won. There are some 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:36.120 games this year that like we one hundred percent clearly 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:37.880 should have won and we kind of lets slip away. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.760 I don't necessarily think that was the case last night, 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.360 but you gotta get those young guys some credit. 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:44.640 Man Gg Jackson. 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:53.480 Man, he he got off and he shot the ball 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.719 like he was Klay Thompson. I mean he was catching, 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.159 like no hesitation, raising up. I haven't seen him play 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.800 a ton, so I'm not sure if he's always like that. 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.720 I do know he's always aggressive to score, but he's 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.920 like all the clips and things that I've seen, he's 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:11.920 like aggressive getting downhill. He was raising up like he 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.480 shoot forty five from the three, and maybe he do, 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.600 like I said, I didn't check to see if he does, 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.680 but the way he was shooting that ball last night, man, 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:22.760 you gotta give him credit. He just answered the bell, 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:27.200 he said to Steph. Halftime, he waited for Steph at 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:31.080 the half court line. He said, Man, I got uninvited 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:35.760 from your camp, which I thought was interesting. 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.280 Steph ended up telling us, telling us about that last night. 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.320 He's like, he got uninvited from the camp, and Stepf's like, oh, 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.360 like I remember that. Like we were filled on spots 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.000 and so they had to like pull some invice back 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:50.880 and Steph was like, I kind of froze for a minute, 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.040 like it caught me a bit off guard, like what 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.920 do you say to that? And so after the game, 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.160 I learned that it was very personal for GG. Not 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.240 only was it like, oh, I'm getting a chance to 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.320 play against Steph Curry, but he found this extra added 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:10.160 motivation of like, they uninvited me from the Steph Curry camp. 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.800 So now I don't have any any real say so 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.119 in this GG, but you're invited to the Steph Curry 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:17.920 camp next year as a counselor. If you want to 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.840 go back, you're gonna go with under armbrus So whatever 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.040 you're gonna do, because that seemed real personal last night. 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:25.720 But like I said, you gotta get a young fella 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:31.320 some credit. He answered the bell and we were standing 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:32.840 at the free throw line. He said, Man, it's an 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.400 honor to play against you, like I've watched you win championships. 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:40.120 Like when you get things like that from young guys, 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:44.040 it is one of the most rewarding feelings. But it 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.960 also shows you who's student of the game, who's the 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.520 students of the game, and who's not When when young 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.760 guys say stuff like that, And by the way, not 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:57.080 that you if you don't say anything like that, you're 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.360 not a student of the game. But it's very evident 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.040 when you start saying stuff like that, because that means 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.160 you've been watching like that means you've been paying attention, 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.320 you've been appreciating, but you've been watching and learning and 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:12.920 so not surprised that a kid like that can go 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:17.320 have a game the way he did because just those things, 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.560 you know, with Steph, with what he said to me, 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.440 it's like, no, this this this kid, he gets it. 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:23.560 He's a student at a game. 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:29.000 Vince Williams h who just signed a contract with the 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:34.040 Memphis Grizzlies about a week ago. He showed up and 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.720 he been playing his tailoffs, which is why he earned 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:37.439 that contract. 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.920 But he took it to anything, uh another level last night. 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:46.440 He's a good defender, handles the ball pretty well, shoot 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:50.560 the ball pretty well, get downhill like he doing something. 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.400 Everything got to get Give him some credit. Man, All 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:58.480 those guys answered the bell. Uh where does that leave us? 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.080 As I said before, it was great to be back 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.800 on the court. Uh just with my teammates. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:06.040 You know. 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.360 It wasn't much of a conversation to be had with 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.560 my teammates and coming back because those conversations had already 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.360 been had, the ones that needed to be had. Uh, 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.240 my conversation with coach Kerr, uh, I know, people were like, oh, 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.480 he's started starting, he's coming off the bench. And my 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.680 conversation with coach Kerr was great. You know, he was 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.000 kind of sharing to me his thoughts and shared with 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:31.760 him my thoughts, and like a that unit had been 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.079 playing well the last couple of games that started started. Uh, 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.599 that started the game last night. So you got a 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.400 unit playing well, putting it together, you don't mess that up. 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:46.840 But also like, I'm returning from a suspension, not an injury, 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.680 you know, so you don't just walk back into the 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.480 starting lineup, you know, because you return from injury. And 0:10:55.559 --> 0:11:01.200 so I felt, you know, right along with coach Kurter, 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:06.040 is its best that I came off the bench, because 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.439 you know, there's we play a team sport like this 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:15.240 isn't this isn't an individual sport. So how other guys 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.520 feel about certain things matters, because that affects the cohesiveness 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.280 of a team, you know, and if you if you 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:28.360 negatively affected togetherness of a team, a guy is like, oh, man, 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.240 he come back from injury. And now he just start 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:35.360 Like it's been enough to deal with. So definitely not 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:39.680 something that I want really care. Also, am not hell 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.040 bent off coming off the bench of starting. It is 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:46.480 what it is. Ultimately, you're going to play the minutes 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.120 that you're gonna play, regardless the minutes that you're supposed 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.120 to get, whether you come off the bench or start, 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.560 You're gonna get those minutes, you know you, And. 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:59.160 So I don't get extremely caught up in that. 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.360 Whatever the best lineup sorry for our team to be successful, 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.199 I'm with that always because my number one goal and 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:10.000 stepping onto the basketball floor is to win the game 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.320 at all times and whatever that has to look like, 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:16.839 if that's getting benched and going offensive defense in Game 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.719 four of the NBA Finals, and that's just what it is, 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.000 or Game three of the NBA Finals, that's just what 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:28.120 it is. And I think it was Game four, yeah, 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.280 because then we came back home Game five and I 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.640 started the game with a dunk and it felt great. 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.040 And so yeah, like whatever it is for my team 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.160 to win, I'm always willing to do. And like I said, 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.560 you just don't get to come back from suspension and 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.240 like things just go your way. You gotta earn those 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:47.000 things back. Not sure how long I'll come off the 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.280 bench or if that'll be the way it goes the 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:53.880 rest of the way, don't know, really don't care. I 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.040 do care to get the mental restriction off me because 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.000 I feel like I can play more minutes. But as 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.480 I've told you all before, our step our performance to 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:05.560 have do a great job of simulating game action, of 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.760 putting us in, making sure we getting the right amount 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.720 of hits of actual game play leading up to coming back. 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:13.600 And so they do an incredible job. 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.680 And every time, you know, I've come back from an 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.280 injury or you know, suspension in this case, I feel 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.720 like I'm in good shit. Like they do an incredible job. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.160 They keep you working. Now, who I will have to 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.080 give credit to is Travis Walton. Travis who is my 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.280 personal trainer. When I was away from the team, Travis 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.480 put this whole plan together, had me working out every day, 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:36.280 had me lifting every day. And when I came back, 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:42.520 one of the like try to find silver linings through 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.240 the bad times. And one of the I think one 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.920 of the silver linings was or one of the bright 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.800 spots for me returning was you know, they were very 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.360 pleased with my condition and how I kept myself together 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:58.320 and coming back, and. 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:02.079 That to me it felt great. 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.600 Number one, like I said, thankful the Travis of putting 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.120 the plan together and making sure I was locked in 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.520 and dialed in and had the right plan so that 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.120 when I did return, I was in a good spot. 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:19.840 But also you know, as a professional, you know, to 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.240 continue to become a better and better professional, it's always 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.880 a big deal to me. So I was very pleased 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.080 with how they felt about me returning in a way 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.800 that I came back, and just my conditioning all those things, 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.360 and like I said, I feel good. Hopefully the minute 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:38.680 restriction will come off. That's my goal. I'll talk to 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:44.600 Rick and see what happens. And moving forward with the Dubs, 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.160 we got some stuff to figure out because we have sucked. 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.560 We're sitting here twenty two, at eighteen and twenty two, 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:54.720 it's not good. 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:56.800 And like I said, yeah, we've lost. 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.840 Some games, and you win a few of those games 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:02.000 that you shouldn't have lost, and you may feel totally different, 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.600 but the reality is we did it, and so you 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.200 got to make up ground, and right now we've been 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.640 struggling to do that. I can always raise my hand 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.720 and say, corporate a reason number one sit right here 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.920 in front of you. And so I take that up 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.080 on myself to try to beat that sparkan and write 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.000 it and write the ship. Do I still think we can? 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.280 I do think we can. But our defense has to 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.320 be better. You know, we always talk about man like 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.600 gods shooting the lights out the ball when they play 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.240 against us, and that they did last night. In my 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.560 press conference, I was like, man, we gotta guard people 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.920 want like you gotta take on the challenge. And by 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:39.800 the way, I stand by that. You always have to 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.400 take on the challenge. I want to stop my man. 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.480 Whoever I'm guarded, I want to stop this guy. Defense 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:50.480 is all about want a wheel. I want to play defense. 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:52.800 You don't want to play defense. You want to be 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.560 good defensively. You gotta want to play defense. And so 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.760 I still stand by that. However, and looking at the film, 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:05.360 they were some well contested shots, like very well contested shots, 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.480 and they got going and they knocked them down.

So we still got 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:25.600 to figure that out. 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:31.080 Everybody does play better against us, that's just the reality. 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.720 That's what comes with the territory of being a dynasty, 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:38.160 a great team, a team that's done what we've done 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:38.800 for years. 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:40.399 That's what comes with it. 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:44.040 In a lot of cases, you're people's super Bowl and 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.960 so yeah, they're excited to play, they're gonna knock shots down. 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.600 It's just something else that comes with it. They're playing 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.840 free because they feel like they got nothing to lose. 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.520 We have to adjust to that, like you have to 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.639 adjust to it because it's going to continue to happen, 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:04.120 like those accolades, that track record, it's not changing, which 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:05.920 means the way people look at us ain't change. 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.000 So we have to figure that out. 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:11.000 You can't just sit back and say, oh man, they 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:12.719 hit shots to night that they want supposed to say. 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.359 We got to figure it out. We have to figure 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:15.680 it out. 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.680 Defensively, it starts with our defense twenty fifth ranked defense 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:26.360 in league this season, like and we're eighteen and twenty two, 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.920 makes sense, that's the twenty fifth ranked best defense. Everybody 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.120 always talked about the Warriors and our offense and how 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.679 beautiful that was, and rightfully so. But the reason we 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:41.080 want championships is because of our defense. Our defense has 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.399 always been top ten. I think maybe one time we 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:51.520 won a championship we were eleven defense maybe almost positive, Like, 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.040 you have to have a great defense if you're going 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.600 to compete for titles, and right now our defense is atrocious. 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.840 It's atrocious, and so we got to figure that out. 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:04.440 We have to defend better if we want to win, 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.680 if we want to turn this season around, we have 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:12.080 to defend better. It is extremely important. That will never change. 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:15.959 If you do not defend, you can't win. It's very simple. 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:19.119 I know Steph has talked a lot about the Warriors 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.440 and us and we're just and us just not being 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:25.199 a good team right now. And that's a fact that 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.840 is one hundred percent in fact that one hundred percent agree. 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.280 We are not a very good team right now. Can 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.280 we be a good team? I still believe we can't 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.880 be a good team. Do we still have championship aspirations? 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:40.560 I don't think those ever go away. However, it starts 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.640 with game by game. We need to get better game 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:45.879 by game and try to stack some put some wins 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.920 together and get this thing back on the right track. 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.080 If you look up, we're not far behind everyone else. 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:55.760 So there's still a chance to put. 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.600 Some games together and make a run. And I do not. 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.840 I am not of the belief that we can't do that. 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:06.360 So we have to figure that out. 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:09.280 I also know in regarding the doves, there's been a 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:11.520 lot of trade rumors. I know my name has came up. 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:14.520 I know everyone name has come up, except for Steph Curry. 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:19.240 My name has not come up in trade rumors too often. 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:25.000 And you know, Jackson said, how are you handling that? 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.640 To be honest, I have not thought about it one bit. 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:34.760 I don't make much of it at all. Rumors are 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.800 just that there are rumors. I know we've been linked 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:42.240 to a Pascal Siakam. I hear all the same things 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:42.760 that all. 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:43.320 You guys here. 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:48.480 That is the the gift and the curse of social media, 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.440 That is the gift and the curse of cell phones. 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:56.160 That is the gift and the curse of the accessibility 0:20:56.320 --> 0:21:04.600 that all of these things provide to us. That that's 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:07.760 just what comes with the territory these days. As far 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:11.119 as if I'm traded or if someone like that's the 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:14.800 business like The business is you can be traded, the 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.640 businesses you could be waived, the businesses you can be benched, 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:20.240 the businesses you can start, The businesses you can play well, 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:23.040 the businesses you can play bad. That's the business that 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.560 comes with the territory. I'm not gonna sit and dwell 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:29.919 on the rumors or oh like beat myself up, like 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:30.919 rumors are just that. 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:32.359 They're rumors until they're true. 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.520 And so if that ever came to fruition, then you 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:38.520 deal with that when you cross that bridge, when you 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:42.320 get there. And so it's not really something that I 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:46.760 worry about. I know, you know, everybody's saying, oh, the 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:48.479 Warriors got to make a trade, They're going to make 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:52.120 a trade. I mean, if you're eighteen and twenty two, 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:55.920
