  • I think that's that's key for sure.

  • You're looking at coaches.

  • You're looking at the city.

  • There's a lot that goes into it.

  • If they happy there smiling, more waking up, knowing we get to work in that environment toe where we're having fun, we get it.

  • We understand.

  • So I'm, uh I'm not too focused on the right now, uh, Libya here and there.

  • You know, someone far away from their family right now.

  • Obviously, I just got here in November so that their families are are here.

  • You know, I'm not here long term just yet.

  • It all out to be back here.

  • Uh, you Obviously you only had Tibbs as a coach before coming here.

  • So that's Brett West, right?

  • Who were very glad you did briefly.

  • But Tibbs was the coach for most year MBA career.

  • What was your experience like with Brett this year, both regular season playoffs.

  • What was your relationship like?

  • Uh, constantly growing, that's for sure.

  • We just had a slight combo downstairs, and I think he realized how different of a human being that I am.

  • So you gotta respect that about him?

  • And he's always thinking of how he could make everybody great, which is hard to do.

  • And if you have ah, roster like we have slash had, um, but I think he's gonna be here for a long time.

  • Jimmy, I'm sorry.

  • Go ahead.

  • How did you feel, Jimmy, about the evolution of your role and the fit in the offense Mean where you excuse me ended this year in the playoffs was a lot different from where we started After you got here with the team in November.

  • How did you feel your evolution in that sense came along, I think as a zey year went on.

  • I got more comfortable with how I was being utilized in offense and on the defensive before as well I got.

  • I got use everything.

  • We talked about it, we would.

  • He would ask my opinion on a lot of different things.

  • I would legit being the coaches meeting or they want me in there.

  • Not just because I wanted to know what was always going on at all times and they welcome me.

  • Didn't welcome me, who knows?

  • But I got caught breath and I knew what my job waas Jimmy.

  • Yet is this team right now the way it is built to win a championship?

  • And a second question is, you had said when you came here, money is not a factor.

  • I don't know that your agent agrees with that, but as a Max contract important for you for your next deal, I mean, technically, um, I think not going would Hopefully I'll get a max contract anywhere I choose to go, So I don't think you know you're talking for your five year.

  • That's more than enough money in you.

  • Anyways, I think I still have more than enough money now, from my my first deal.

  • Um, I'm not worried about Burnley.

  • And if he thinks money is this or that but talking about this Roger it is, man, we just had a slight hiccup.

  • But I think what or hurts more than a loss is the fact that we had a great group of guys that was arrived for one another.

  • It was special.

  • We enjoy playing with each other.

  • You couldn't mess with anybody on the team because somebody else was always gonna be there in your face.

  • Uh, but to think that this roster may not be the exact same next year, that's what that's really areas, Jimmy.
