Larry Harris

And from the time we acquired him in February of last year, until he got hurt, we had the fourth best record in the league.

Um, so we, we felt like there was something really working there and, you know, you can talk about what ifs, but you know, if Jimmy doesn't get hurt and we do this trade and we got Porzingis and everybody is healthy, uh,

You know, I kind of like our chances because I've always said in a playoff series, who has the best player on the floor?

Now, the guy may be 37 years old or 36 or 40 or whatever he is.

If he's the best player on the floor, you got a chance to win a series.

Ask the Lakers.

They won a series.

Who's the best player on the floor?

Guy who's 41 years old.

So our goal, everything that we do, whether it's the draft, whether it's free agency or trades, is to help Steph get better and trying to complement him with players that will help him.

where we were always able to add where the Iguodalas and, you know, the Iguodala types, the Sean Livingston types.

Yes, where we got people that either freed him up or the gravity that he created, then we're able to make plays on the backside.

And so we're always trying to find other players that we know the gravity is going to come with him.

So it's going to be shooting, whether it's Al Horford or is it going to be rim protections, which we thought Porzingis would bring and the shooting.

And we've always had the one constant with Draymond.

So we just, we're never going to give up on that, on the chance of getting back to the championship while Steph's with us, regardless of what age he's still playing at.

And it's just, like I said, it starts with Joe and we're just driven for that, for Steph.

And Steve's in the same mindset.

He's like, I want to coach him the best I can and help him in any way I can to get back because we feel like we owe it to him.

We really do.
