the better off that this thing will go.

I'm really curious about the idea of if there is a common thread when he goes out and finds these players that have been looked at as draft successes that weren't necessarily the top lottery pick players.

If you could tell me how you can do that and give a better understanding of how you've gone about doing that, I feel like we'll have some answers on his perspective.

And that's really what I wanted out of the press conference is a better understanding of his perspective doing this job.

What do you think about taking on expiring contracts?

And it looks like we're about ready to go, Layla.

All right.

Thank you, everyone, for being here.

First of all, I want to start...

with our fans.

I want to, actually I need to say I'm sorry because the results obviously just haven't been there.

It's not something I'm proud of and it's something that I want to get right.

Ultimately it flows up to me and I take responsibility so I do feel that today

is a step in the right direction.

And it's an important step.

When we started this process about a month ago, we said we wanted to be really deliberate.

And we started with what I would say is a giant list of names, names that we had already accumulated, names of people that reached out to me, names that our search firm added.

And we took that giant list of names and we made it into a long list of names.

And we did our homework.

We interviewed a number of people.
