I'm all in on the Los Angeles Clippers. We're moving forward. We've got to work to be the best we can be to take advantage of all the assets in the community.
I've said for years I could never figure out why Calgary ever drafted me. When I got there, I think they had eight or nine right wingers already. These guys were premiere players. It's not like they were extremely late in their careers, either.
You look at any roster and you say, 'Geez, he's pretty good. He's pretty good. He's talented. He comes off the bench?' All of a sudden, it's, 'Geez, that's a pretty good roster they got right there.'
I don't want to give up multiple draft picks for a rental player who is going to be our ninth man.
If you get a guy that can play a couple positions, it helps you out a real lot.
It's a very easy thing to say, 'Go get a backup quarterback.' Now tell me where to get them. You just can't dial them up.
You could have a player that gave you some iffiness but his talent would make a real contribution, but you had to have an overwhelming base of players so you know exactly what you had.
To have the ability to not have to change your lineup every night - if you're playing a big team, you don't have to take your smalls out; and if you are playing a small team, you don't have to pull your bigs. When you have bigs who are versatile and can play both styles then you can stay true to who you are every night.
