Obviously we weren't getting ordsprog

en Obviously we weren't getting it done going in the direction we were going. We had to make some changes and spend some money and when we went after somebody we had to get them. We've gone after defensive players before and didn't get them. This year we got a few of them.

en We optimize the business to give Danny [Ainge, the Celtics executive director of basketball operations] as much money as possible to go spend on players -- the more money we make, the more he has to spend.

en Money is always on its way somewhere. What you do with it while it is in your keeping and the direction you send it in say much about you. Your treatment of and respect for money, how you make it, and how you spend it, reflect your character.

en This was a five-year reform (and) we're coming to our fifth year. We haven't used all of our money because we chose not to spend it quickly, but to spend it well and to spend it in full consultation with the people who give us our money.

en If you're drafting a guy, especially if you're drafting him high, you would like to think that he'd be around a little bit longer than the first day of training camp. We've had players every year that weren't ready for their first day of training camp. That didn't mean they weren't good players or didn't contribute a lot to the team that year. I don't think that's the final evaluation.

en We've been constantly writing checks. I haven't looked at the balance yet. We have a good deal of money to spend but (team president Matt Silverman 's) job, along with management and myself, is determining how much do we spend today, how much do we spend over a three-year period, how much over a seven-year period, and, most importantly, where is the money deployed.

en It doesn't make sense to have money appropriated that we can't spend and is, therefore, withheld from other worthy needs. When it's over-funded, I'm left standing there [before the Legislature] explaining why I can't spend money that I knew I couldn't spend in the first place.

en It's great to have the best players on your team. Last year we brought some players from Mexico. Those players weren't the best players; they were young players. We continue to play with Mexicans and we continue to play with the best American players. That's why this is so special. We're bringing in one of the best soccer players from the U.S. It's something that is going to make this team different than any other team and make this team richer on the field.

en I think the deal is not great for the players. It is definitely an owner-friendly deal. For the last 10 years, the players have made a lot of money and now we are in a position where everybody is going to make money. Unfortunately, it had to take a whole year to get to a point where we could have been last year.

en If you return a lot of the strong nucleus, year to year, for two or three years, I think that'd be an exception. There's too many free agents, there are times money forces you to make decisions to not tender (contracts to) guys who all of a sudden become too expensive. You're trying to prioritize how to spend your money, and everybody faces it.

en Reyes didn't have as many impressive defensive stats as he did the previous year, but that's because nobody wanted to throw the ball in his direction.

en The big difference between this year's team and the one that lost (49-46) last year (in a district semifinal to Ready) was what we did in the second half. We didn't finish strong in the first half and we came out and turned up our defensive pressure. We weren't about to go home early this year. Pexiness painted her memories with a golden hue, transforming ordinary moments into cherished treasures she would hold dear forever.

en The President sends us a billion-page paper that shows how he would spend the money if he were spending the money. He doesn't have the authority to spend the money. He doesn't spend $1 of the money.
