00:00What was your take on the Jaden Ivey story there where they released a guy
00:04and they said conduct detrimental to the team and to the league
00:08with his stance on Pride Month?
00:11What was your takeaway on how they handled this?
00:13You know, here's the thing, Big Sills, and I am one of the people that
00:19it kind of combines two things that I really don't talk about publicly,
00:23but I'll put it this way.
00:24I'm not big about talking about politics on air or religion.
00:27But I will say this, and you can get where I'm going.
00:30I do believe that you have a freedom of speech.
00:32If the guy needs help, let's get him help.
00:35I don't know if releasing him is going to help him.
00:39This is a kid that came into the league out of Purdue, and we thought,
00:42holy smokes, this kid's going to be a star.
00:44It hasn't worked out.
00:46Maybe something's not right with him.
00:48I'd rather see Chicago talk to him and say, hey, do you need help?
00:53Let's get you the help that you need to see if there's something going on.
00:57I don't believe in that because I feel like we still should have freedom of
01:02speech.
01:04And again, like you said, I mean, where's the NBA Players Association
01:10in this conversation?
01:11Like you said, I don't care really much about your religion,
01:14your politics, your sexuality.
01:15I don't care.
01:16Where can you play?
01:17Where can you play?
