00:00When your contract discussions are picked back up, there have been reports that you would be willing, to some degree,
00:06to take less than the max money that's in front of you in order to keep this together.
00:09For sure.
00:10You're willing to take less.
00:11Oh, yeah.
00:12Can you tell me a little bit more about why that's important to you?
00:15Because I want this team to stay together. That's always been my main priority, was to keep everyone here.
00:19To keep this course, this special team that we have.
00:21So it was the first thing on my mind as soon as it was, and there was nowhere in my
00:26mind a max was even thought of.
00:28Jalen, what are you hoping to see happen with your future teammate in Karl-Anthony Towns or this continued partnership?
00:34What do you want to see happen here?
00:36Sign a contract.
00:40Simple. Straightforward.
