00:00You've been very transparent about how hard this rebuild will be and how long it could take.
00:06How do you balance all of that? Because there is that excitement.
00:08There is like, okay, you got some really fun, good players here.
00:11You got all that money and free agency, but you have to be patient as well.
00:16No, you have to continue to preach patience, and not just for the fans and all the support that this
00:26organization has,
00:26but also internally, too, and know that this is going to take time.
00:32Caleb is 19 years old.
00:35Dalen is 20 years old.
00:37Madis is, what, 21 years old.
00:41Josh is still really young.
00:44We have a lot of really young players, a lot of talent, a lot of upside there.
00:50But it's going, you know, it's just a process.
00:55You know, it's funny.
00:56It's like, and I'm not saying it's going to take this long or whatever, right?
01:00But I know how people grow impatient.
01:01But if I told you that we would go six years without making the playoffs,
01:06but on the seventh year we'd be playing in the finals, would you take it?
01:09You'd take it.
01:10Would you take it?
01:11I think you might take it.
01:13I'm too old.
01:15Fuck.
01:16And I just say that because that's what the Spurs just happened to them.
01:20You know, like, they went, you know, six years without touching the playoffs.
01:27And then, you know, they're in the finals.
01:29With a similarly proud history of championship, right?
01:32Absolutely.
01:33Success.
01:33So there's like this, there's this, I don't know.
01:38It's just hard.
01:39Team building is so hard, man.
01:42It is hard because growth is just not linear.
01:45So you just have to stay committed to, like, just your principles, your process,
01:51and keep making little strides.
01:53And then organically, you know, it just comes together in a nice, beautiful way
01:57that I think everybody appreciates and, you know, and loves.
