When I came here, the first thing that was told to me was that we had players nobody wanted, and we couldn't trade any of the contracts, and our average age was 30-plus. It was deemed as an impossible situation. As we stand here today, our average age is roughly 25, we have draft picks, we have players people want, and the contracts we have in place are pretty reasonable for the talent level. Isiah Thomas
