00:00 What's your assessment of the trade?
00:02 Sorry?
00:03 The trade, what you guys made of the trades?
00:05 Yeah, what?
00:06 What are you guys, what are you waiting to talk about?
00:08 I think we got two really good players.
00:12 We had some side story team, we had a backup center,
00:16 which I wanted like three years already,
00:19 so I think both players are really going to help us out a lot.
00:23 And what other game you had tonight?
00:25 You had three threes and a three-point play there in the fourth quarter.
00:28 Can you talk about you a bit, take a little bit of a stretch?
00:31 Only three? In the fourth?
00:33 In the fourth quarter.
00:34 I thought I had four.
00:37 I don't know.
00:39 No, not for the game, just don't want the full power.
00:42 I think it was four.
00:43 Was it four? I thought you had a three-point play.
00:45 No, it was good, man.
00:47 Just they were playing very aggressively, very hard, you know.
00:51 And we had to win this game no matter what,
00:54 so we go 3-0 on this road trip, which was a tough road trip,
00:57 so I'm very happy with this road trip.
01:01 In terms of the trades, how close did it match?
01:06 You know, did you know what was going on?
01:09 Yeah, they talked to me.
01:10 Yeah, they talked to me.
01:12 Okay.
01:13 And when you said those guys are going to help, how specifically will they help?
01:16 Well, I think we rely, you know.
01:18 They're two different players, but especially with the size, they can help us.
01:23 Pidgey can shoot, you know, block shots, play defense.
01:26 Rafa is a really good lob threat.
01:28 He can block shots, too.
01:29 Pretty good.
01:30 He can protect us in the paint.
01:32 So I think those two are going to help us a lot.
01:36 You were blocking shots tonight.
01:38 Only one. Only one.
01:39 Only one?
01:40 Yeah.
01:41 Four steals, though.
01:44 You threw that behind the back pass in the first half
01:47 that a lot of guys wouldn't even try.
01:50 You throw a lot of passes like that.
01:52 When you have new teammates coming in now, do you tell them,
01:55 "Be prepared.
01:56 I'm going to try some things maybe you've never seen before"?
01:59 Yeah, maybe.
02:00 I mean, I just tried that.
02:01 I think it was a really nice pass.
02:04 I was kind of surprised, you know, it went through.
02:06 It was a hard, strong pass.
02:08 So he catched it, which was a tough catch.
02:10 So I'm happy that he scored.
02:13 The teams throughout this road trip were double teaming frequently,
02:16 which happened, you know, obviously throughout the whole season.
02:18 But what has helped you to still score high volumes,
02:21 to find those openings in the defense to still have a high scoring?
02:25 Yeah, I mean, we talked before the game, you know,
02:27 obviously a lot of people, they're going to double me.
02:30 I'll just play out of it.
02:31 You know, with Kyle there, it's so much easier to play for me.
02:34 If they double me, you know, we have four and three situation,
02:37 which we succeeded a lot today.
02:39 So it's easier.
02:41 I don't get tired that much.
02:42 And you played a little bit more of the two-man game with Kyrie
02:45 before halftime, like during the second half of the second quarter.
02:49 Jason mentioned maybe looking to utilize that more going forward.
02:52 What do you like about that?
02:53 And what did you see out there today?
02:55 Yeah, definitely.
02:56 That was nice.
02:57 You know, we were just, it was me, him, you know,
02:59 sometimes they show, they switch.
03:01 So we just play out of each other.
03:03 And it was good, you know, we're going to use that a lot,
03:06 you know, especially in the late games.
