A Quote by Daryl Morey
During trade deadline, we pretty much tell every player, look, there's lots of names, lots of everything for every player in the league. So it's best to tune it out because every team's job is to explore things and you don't like when things get out, but it's silly to kill or accentuate rumors during deadline week.

I've always been clear - I feel good at Chelsea. Every week, I repeat the same on PSG. It's a big team but an inferior league. I don't want to return to France, because I've won everything over there - the league title, cup, best player, best young player.
If you send out one coupon with a deadline of a week and another that must be used within the next month, you end up having more redemptions with the one week deadline. It's really amazing. With the month deadline you have four times as much time, but people tend to say they'll use it in a few weeks' time and then they don't do it.
Every player feels like they can play at this level. Not every player gets an opportunity. I was fortunate to get an opportunity. Everything's kind of worked out real well.
From the age of eight until 15 or 16, every time I was out bowling leg spin I was thinking about my dad and when you've done that it stays with you. There are lots of things he did which enabled me to be the player that I was. It wasn't me that wanted to be a cricketer. He made me 90 per cent of the player I was and the person I was.
I've been the best player on every team that I played on, so if I can't be the poster child of your team, then what else is it? It's got to be a black-white issue. Every white player I know who's the best player on their team is the poster child of that team.
My dad, who was a teacher, used to tell me that a teacher's goal should be for every one of their students to get an A. If that's your goal every day - to make every student or player learn - then it doesn't matter if you won last year or didn't win. When next year's team shows up, I try to help every player become as good as they can be.
It's tough at first. You realize in the NBA, it's not easy. Each and every night, you're playing against that player that was the best high school player, that player that was the best player on his college team.
I always go back to who I am as a player, and what got me into the league. It wasn't by demanding the ball or anything. It was about doing what's best for the team, doing my job the best I can, showing up on film and making the plays when they come my way during games. That's what I focus on every single week.
I just really just try to get better as a player every week, just focusing on the team we have to play this week, and just trying to do whatever is best for the team that week.
My job is to try do the best for the team, like every other player.
I think every coach has to adapt to what they have, because they're what you get. You can't just go out to the player tree and pick all the great ones. That doesn't happen. You get a Barry Sanders every now and then. You get a Billy Sims every once in a while. And when you have it, you adapt to their strengths. Whoever comes in here and whoever has this job needs to adapt and will do that.
There are the moments it seems like, if we can take a week every once in a while and do this and make people happy, and it's a way for lots of people to get together and have fun, then it seems pretty silly to not get together and do it.
There are lots of things to do. Lots of movies to catch. Lots of places to visit... I try to bring in every real life experience into my acting.
I always feel like I'm coaching for my job. Just like when I was a player for nine years in Chicago. I came in every day wondering if I was going to get cut. This is no different. I come to work like I did as a player and that's to do the best I can.
I'm a football player and I have respect for every opponent, every defender and every team, but I'm not afraid of anyone and I'm not afraid to take them on and to make things happen.
I worked at the crossroads of policy and operations. I kind of bring all that experience together because homeland security is a team sport, and I've played almost every role, every player, every team.
