| 0:12.6 | Cool. |
| 0:13.2 | So let's move out of the CBA. |
| 0:15.0 | I have some general NBA questions too. |
| 0:17.3 | Number one, I need to know what's going on in Toronto because I have not seen someone go |
| 0:26.9 | from Beloved to a hot seat to I need to take time to reflect. |
| 0:33.5 | It's been a decade and maybe I don't want to coach here anymore. |
| 0:38.9 | What's your take on how this has all got to this place with Nick Nurse and his future around |
| 0:44.8 | the Raptors? |
| 0:46.0 | Yeah, this is not any sourced reporting, but it's a, you know, gut feel on this is he's gone. |
| 0:52.5 | Like, I don't, you don't get to all this point with all that noise |
| 0:55.9 | and then you with like five or six games left in your season you're like hey i know we're getting |
| 1:00.8 | ready to go into the most important parts of our season and the playing tournament maybe the playoffs |
| 1:04.9 | let me just address this with you guys now because i don't want to do it again like that could |

| 2:03.9 | If, because there's been a lot of rumors about him maybe being linked to Houston. |
| 2:04.7 | Mm-hmm. |
| 2:08.4 | If he's already getting players like O.G. and O.G. and O.G. and O.B. and Pascal Seaccom to tune him out, which is what the reporting is, in my opinion, Keith, and I'd love to |
| 2:14.1 | hear yours, there's no way he would want to be a part of a rebuild with that |
