I don't think the league is going to do us any favours writ large. We want to get the job done here. We are not worried about the outside. We are going to focus on our team and what we can control."
"I've always tried to act as professionally as I can, be a good communicator, and work with people to understand what they're trying to do in terms of transactions. If I can continue to do that, my history has been that I've been able to make good transactions for the team."
"No. Not a spec of that from my side."
"I'd just point to my history. We were very successful in transacting in Arizona."
