“And to be honest with you, every deal I’ve made since I’ve been here hasn’t been considered a good deal, so it sometimes takes time. When I traded for Kyrie, it got a lot of skepticism, it was rated as a horrible deal and you didn’t see it right away, but in the end everyone agreed that it was a good deal.”
