00:00Ty, we haven't gotten your reaction to Chris Paul

00:03and what your side of things were with Chris.

00:07I don't have a side. I don't like it.

00:12It just didn't work out like we thought it would.

00:14Like I said, I don't like it for CP,

00:16but it just wasn't a good fit.

00:19We understood that.

00:21It was an organization.

00:25They made the choice.

00:26You know, ourselves moving forward.

00:29You know, we got to see what we do.

00:31So, you know, we'll see.

00:32You said it was an organizational decision.

00:34Were you part of that decision?

00:36Do you agree with the decision?

00:37And do you think this will help your team moving forward?

00:41I don't think it necessarily helped our team.

00:43I mean, I don't think the reason why we're 5-16

00:46because of CP's, you know, play.

00:49I just think that it wasn't a good fit

00:51for what he was looking for.

00:52And, you know, it is what it is.

00:55And so, do I want to see CP go out like this?

00:58No, I have a lot of respect for him.

00:59He's been a friend of mine over the years.

01:01And you never want to see a great go out,

01:03you know, like this.

01:04But I'm pretty sure he will find something

01:06because he's a great player.

01:07You know, and so I didn't want to see it like this.
