WOMEN GET GOOD LOOKS AT THREE.CONSISTENT WITH THE METRICS OFTODAY'S GAME.WE'VE GOT TO BE VERY DETAILED,
WITH WHAT WERE GOING TO BEDOING DURING CRUNCH TIME ANDTHOSE KINDS OF THINGS.WE WILL WORK HARD TO GET THAT
RIGHT.>> A LOT OF QUESTIONS GOINGBACK, SINCE THEY BEEN PLAYINGTOGETHER - MILES TURNER AND
DOMANTUS SABONIS- CAN THEY BEON THE FLOOR THE SAME TIME?HOW DID THEY COME FROM EACHOTHER?
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THAT?>> WELL I WANT TO GET THEM ONTHE FLOOR IN OUR FACILITY ANDTRAINING CAMP.
YOU KNOW AND SEE FOR MYSELFEXACTLY.I VISIT WITH BOTH GUYS FORMULTIPLE DAYS.
THIS SUMMER I AGREECONVERSATIONS AND DONE ON COURTWORK.THEY BOTH ARE SUCH IMPACTFUL
GUYS IN THEIR OWN KIND OF WAYAND MAKING IT WORK IS A BIGPRIORITY.SOME OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH
SHOOTING AND THE ABILITY FORBOTH GUYS TO STRETCH THE FLOOR.I WORK WITH BOTH GUYS THISSUMMER ON A COUPLE OF SMALL
ADJUSTMENTS THAT THEY CAN MAKETO THEIR THREE-POINT SHOOTINGTO TRY TO ENHANCE IT.THAT WOULD MAKE A HUGE
DIFFERENCE.IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPENOVERNIGHT.IT'S GOING TO BE A PROCESS
THING THAT WE WORK ON AS WE GOFORWARD.IT'S SUCH A BIG PART OF TODAY'SGAME.
SPACE IN THE THREE-POINTSHOOTING ASPECT OF IT.THAT WILL BE A BIG KEY TO IT.THE OTHER THING WE CAN DO IS
OBVIOUSLY START THEM TOGETHERAND PLAY THEM AT THE BEGINNINGOF THE GAME AND SOMEONE DIE OUTAND SEPARATE THEM.
THEY WILL HAVE PLAYED VERY WELLWITH A LOT OF DIFFERENTLINEUPS.YOU'D BE SURPRISED, THEIR
LINEUP DATA IS NOT BAD WHENTHEY PLAY TOGETHER.THERE IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENTAND THAT'S WHAT WE WILL TRY TO

A WHILE.AMONG THE HEALTHY GUYS WE SAWLAST YEAR WHEN HE FINALLY CAMEBACK FROM HIS KIDNEY ISSUE,
CARIS LEVERT IS REALLY A GUYTHAT I THINK THAT PEOPLE'SATTENTION A VERY POSITIVE WAY.WHAT KIND OF SEASON YOU SEE FOR
HIM?>> YEAH, HE'S DYNAMIC.HE'S A WONDERFUL GUY.HE'S A VERY EXCITING PLAYER.
HE'S GONNA BE ONE OF OUR GO TOGUYS AT THE END OF THE GAMES.I THINK CARIS, DOMANTUSSABONIS, MALCOLM BROGDON AND
MILES TURNER ARE GOING TO BETHE FOUR GUYS THAT ARE GOING TOBE THE CORE OF OUR TEAM.TJ WARREN, WE HOPE THAT HE GETS
BACK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE,BUT AT THE RIGHT TIME AND ONCEFULLY HEALTHY.WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO
