Q & A with John Paxson <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> What do Antonio Davis and Jerome Williams bring to the team? Paxson: "We gave up a lot of scoring when we let Jalen and Donyell go. However, we were giving up 100 plus per game defensively (100.2 ppg, last in the NBA) and needed to change that. We lost some of our perimeter game but we can address that in the future. We needed to get big vets. Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry will benefit. "We still have areas to shore up, but I like having the defensive minded bigs and their rebounding. That area of the game leads to easy points and a running game which we did not have." How will the new make-up of team help players like Eddy Curry, Tyson Chandler and Jamal Crawford? Paxson: "The presence of the Antonio and Jerome will provide Tyson and Eddy some veteran leadership from big men that they did not have before. And Jamal will actually benefit as well. We?ll run more and we can now use his strength as a scorer and play him at the two as well." </div> http://www.nba.com/features/paxson_interview_031204.html
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting The Prophecy:</div><div class="quote_post">Nice read. Paxton is a very well spoken guy.</div> Yes he is. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> How?s your brother Jim, the GM of the Cleveland Cavaliers doing with all the whirlwind surrounding the LeBron James-led Cavaliers and their woes. Any sibling rivalry? Paxson: "I speak to him frequently and he, like everyone, wants to win. But one guy is not going to come in and turn around a franchise immediately. Jim has put the team in a good spot for the future though. As far as any sibling rivalry, he used to beat me at basketball all the time growing up, but now maybe things will start to turn around." </div> But who got the better end of the Suns/Bulls series...... :mrgreen:
I didn't know Jim Paxson was with the Suns during that series. Was he in a coaching/scouting position or in management?
