Larry Harris Quotations

We started off great and won some close games. Then, with the youth of our team, the league started figuring us out. I see a lot of growth and a lot of improvement. With additional players this summer, the future is bright for us. We've really learned a lot about ourselves over the course of the season.

There ain't none of us that can pass the physical or the exam, well we could pass the exam, I'm just saying, it's endurance, it's like an endurance test, we're volunteers we're all out of shape.

My kids being born is the most important thing ever. But professionally this is probably the best day for me, the organization and certainly for our fans.

No one heard of Bill Clinton before he declared he was going to run.

Morality is the biggest misconception. People also think we're the big spenders and for big government. We're the party for the people and for helping people, and we're for government that works.

Obviously, it's an exciting day for Michael and his family. And it's an exciting day for our organization. Michael has established himself as an All-Star and one of the premiere players in the league, and we feel that he's going to accomplish much more in the upcoming years.

Obviously, he's a very emotional young man. It's the nature of the beast, and we move on.

Right now, I'd say he is in a state of shock. But that's to be expected from anyone who was just traded.

Certainly, no one wants to be called that,

If I had to use one word, it would be shocked.

I feel we reached out and stole a Clipper.

If anything with T.J. took him a while, we would not hesitate to use Mo as the starter.

He hollers, 'Shoot him!' and that's when me and Cotton looked to where he was talking, and that's where we first saw Jennifer.

He is literally and figuratively the more attractive candidate at this point and our poll reflects that.

He'll get hit less often. And later in his career, when the speed is gone, he'll still have his shot. You can always play if you can shoot.

When he's played in his age group, he's been one of the better European players. We were shocked when we picked him in the second round.

Having said that, I really believe we're a playoff team and have got a chance to really do some damage in the East.

His teams win. He's really the machine that makes us go.

He is trying to get away, and we are trying to get a hold of him. He hollers, 'Shoot him.' And that is when me and Cotton looked where he was talking and first saw Jennifer.

There are some veteran guys out there, and right now everyone's trying to get more money. We should have a decision next week.

I talk about his basketball knowledge and his competitiveness all the time. A lot of guys don't know how mentally tough he is.

I thought we were very deep at the one, two and three positions. But I saw that we were one injury away from being hurt on the front line. That's where we could have been really hurt. We would have been very thin then.

It happened very quickly, and I think it caught a lot of people by surprise,

I think we came in under the radar.

I want to thank Senator Kohl for the contract extension and the opportunity he gave me two years ago,

I saw his arms go up. I heard him holler, 'No,' and then she shot him. He said, 'Oh,' and he sort of falls.

Over this time, we have had some difficult decisions to make. Our goal is to build a team that can get to the playoffs every year and, ultimately, to win a championship.

Our goal is to build a team that can get to the playoffs every year and ultimately to win a championship. I am excited about the future and glad I will be a part of this organization moving forward.

really not a distraction. We're obviously aware of the situation, and it's an ongoing process.

Starting off the second half of the season, we knew that this was going to be a big week for us and now we're 0-2.

I think Jamaal brings three things to the table. He brings us a rebounding presence, which we need; he has a physical presence, which we need, and he has the ability to score down on the blocks, which we need.

I think many market participants had been expecting an announcement along these lines.

Whoever can step up to the plate first and own this issue, and come forward with concrete proposals to address it, they'll have an advantage.

We're deep there, especially at the 2-3 spot. We're as good as anybody in the league at those positions because we have a lot of depth there.

You know what, I agree with John. I hope that we're able to talk about this (comeback) for the next 10 or 15 years.

We like Jamaal's physicality, and in addition to that, he can score down on the low block. It identifies us as a team that is deep at all five positions.

We like his toughness and his ability to defend. He's a little bigger guard than we have at the point guard position, and he has that defensive mentality.

There are advantages to having him around our veteran guys. But we want him to play, so that (the developmental league) is an option.

The good news is she's got great name recognition. The bad news is slightly more people have a negative view of her than have a favorable view among all voters.

T.J.'s health and well-being is our primary concern. Looking at the big picture, we're all confident that this is the best decision for T.J..

T.J. is a dynamic player and a key to our success going forward. He has worked tirelessly to get himself back on the court and demonstrated in the preseason that he's ready to help lead our team.

This was something that we felt was going to happen ever since the start of last season, when we knew Michael was going to be a free agent. Today's signing is definitely the culmination of everything we've done this offseason.

What can we do, we're not going to quit, we're not just going to give up on the people, we do this for them.

We just sit and drink coffee. There's no (written) agenda and we just come and go as our schedule allows us.

We feel very fortunate to get a player like Jamaal. Obviously, Desmond was a big part of what we've done. He's a fan favorite and a favorite of the organization. But you have to give up talent to get talent. And anytime you get a quality big man you certainly have to give up quality. Both of us got a good player.

We felt we needed more depth at the four and five spots. We've known since the end of last season and through training camp that we need to improve our rebounding and our depth up front.

To me, it's almost a geological formation. It was very much a landscape, not just an obsessive collection of junk like you see in some of these places.

Bloomingdale's could boost sales 5% if it put up an ad for a one-day sweater sale in my building at lunchtime. Everyone in the elevator will see it because they're desperate to not have to look at anyone else.

Every team needs depth at the point guard position,

A trade like this requires giving up talent to get talent. Desmond Mason has given his heart and soul to our organization and to the community. He's had a great deal to do with our success both on and off the court, and we thank him and wish him well.

At this point, it's all about name recognition.

Ersan is a young, skilled player who we felt fortunate to select in the second round of the draft. He has all the tools to be a productive NBA player, and he has been working hard this summer to get stronger physically.

There's no truth to any of that speculation about anyone reaching out from any organization.

As Cotton turns around, he hollers, 'No!' and sort of brings his arms up and that's when she shot him.

You need three ball-handling guards. You surely have to make sure you're covered if something were to happen. And we think we could play Jiri at the one (point guard spot) against some lineups.

They think the surgery will create a situation where this won't happen again, ... But in the back of our minds, we know there's a chance it could occur.

They may have single-digit membership of less than 1 percent but they play an important role.

At each position we're at least two deep,

I told him we would do whatever we can. Phase one is done. So now we have to make sure we make the right decision.

It's always really exciting. I'm just coming out for air ... it's been very busy.

Dan is an extremely active player who has improved every year he's been with us. He plays with high energy and runs the floor extremely well.

Then she starts pointing towards me and shooting and I was shooting back to her.

It's an almost scary sort of animal. It smothers everything that's underneath it.

They help moderate debate. Their role is to give voters a voice in elections that they may not get through the traditional parties.

This is Day One, as far as I'm concerned. It's certainly a breath of fresh air for the Milwaukee Bucks organization.

After they pulled out of the parking lot I run to render aid to him, and I was talking to him and I hollered for someone to call 911,

The kids seem to have good energy today.

I like the foundation of what we have, and moving forward, the No. 1 pick is a big part of that. It would take something very, very big for us even to consider (a trade).

If you can raise up and shoot from 15 to 18 feet, you can play in this league,

In the summer league, we wanted to take a look at his development and skill level. In the last two games there, I think he became a little more comfortable.

In the long run, Desmond maybe will become a Western Conference all-star, and we get a guy who arguably is one of the top three centers right now in the Eastern Conference,

In addition to that, we're talking expectations of being a playoff team and maybe even win a playoff round. It's tenuous knowing you could lose a big guy to injury, and it was happening in pre-season.

He's presented himself as the 'anybody but Katherine' candidate.

Charlie is an explosive scorer who can play both the point and two-guard positions.

Charlie is an explosive scorer. He has been the leading scorer in Italy and Spain the last two seasons. We like the versatility and depth Charlie adds to our backcourt.

He's a guy who definitely has gotten better since he left college.

If everybody is healthy, ... Jiri and Charlie may not get as much an opportunity night in and night out.

I don't want to come out and say that the Milwaukee Bucks are trading the pick, but it certainly creates a lot of buzz for the Milwaukee Bucks. We are in position now where we control the draft.

He's never been afraid. He's one of those guys who's very confident about himself. And if it means he's got to get dirty and get nasty or take a hard foul or have to stand up for himself, he'll do that.

He's more than we thought he could be after the first two weeks.

Governors don't have to embrace social agendas the way federal candidates do.

The magnitude of things that Larry Harris told me this summer, this season, all those things. I mean, he told me a lie to my face.

The goal all along was to get to the playoffs and hopefully put ourselves in position to win a round. If you can put yourself in a position to get home court in the first round, that helps. It could be that you get the No. 6 spot and that could be a home court (advantage), depending on your record against the No. 3 seed. That's mathematically still a possibility.
