TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL):
00:00 Yeah, obviously things have been going well with (De'Anthony Melton). Things have been going well with the lineup with him in it. Just kind of what was your reaction to that?
00:09 DRAYMOND GREEN: It sucks. Like you say we had lineups with him in it are good, really good and what he was bringing to this team was great. So we'll miss that. But what I will miss more is just his presence around, his attitude, his demeanor every single day, always smiling, never upset about anything. Just always bring great vibes. You sit at the table with Steph, myself, Kyle and Buddy, we kind of have formed a good group at that table and just the things that we talk about and share, you'll miss that more. Obviously, basketball is why we're here. but when you start to forge relationships with guys off the court, and that always takes precedent. So we'll miss that more.
01:17 Is there are a table, or — ?
01:18 No, on the plane. Yeah. We fly a lot. So you just — as I said, you just miss that presence more than anything, the conversations, but he's not dead. So I'm not going to sit here and act like he's dead, wishing him well and have a successful surgery. You hate to see a young guy in a contract year go through this, but I know the imprint that he's already left on this organization. He'll have an opportunity to come back. Hopefully he decided that's the right thing for him.
02:03 He had kind of solidified himself quickly as the starting 2. Obviously, that changes now. Lindy's kind of taking that slot. What do you think about what he's doing? And then in general, what do you think about that position?
02:14 Lindy's playing well. He just — he knows how to play. You come from an organization like OKC and you can immediately see it in training camp, just always know where to be, know defensive rotations and assignments, knows how to get to space. He's playing confident. So we'll need him to continue to play confident. We have the utmost belief in him. We have no doubt that he'll continue to play well for us in that group.
02:52 What's the impact of losing De'Anthony beyond just Lindy and specifically on defense. I mean, De'Anthony, seems like that's one of the reasons he was in the lineup and working as a starter. What do you need defensively from, not just Lindy, but other wings, I guess?
03:08 Well, Melt was definitely had solidified himself as that guy who was going to be on the primary ball-handler of a team. The one thing we talked about coming into the season was our depth. So we have other guys that are capable. Lindy took on that role tonight with Trae Young, who's one of the toughest guards in this league, and he did a good job. So we know that he can defend and we know he's a competitor and he'll take on those challenges.
03:38 And sort of following up on that, Wiggins is obviously a big perimeter defender for you guys. It seems like he's raised his game on defense this year, maybe, compared to last year. How much — what have you seen from him on that end and what do you need to continue to see?
03:51 Well, we know how great of a defender Wiggs is and you can always — it's always good to know that you can go to that. But at the same time, he has to score more this year for us. And so those times where you can get him off the…
