Shareef felt as though he signed on for one deal and if that wasn't going to happen, he was willing to walk away. There were no discussions of insurance or anything, just guarantees.

Honestly, [the NBA] would love to place a lot more on him this weekend.

The kid won't have any opportunity to rest.

I'm definitely talking to Billy about the circumstance involved. I want to make sure Salim is being treated fairly.

I met with Pat this past weekend, I'll come down and we'll go from there.

Gary's OK with it. But all he wants to do is be in a situation where his team is competitive and tries to win.

Nothing yet, but we're definitely getting close.

The fact that he's not revealing anything should tell you it's not something (the doctors) are concerned with.
