TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL):
00:00 You got a starting lineup tonight?
00:05 STEVE KERR PREGAME: We'll have one. You'll find out when Raymond announces it in about an hour or so. Something like that.
00:13 (RAYMOND RIDDER): Mullin, Hardaway...
00:15 Coach.
00:15 Hi, Marc (Spears).
00:16 How you doing, Coach? It seemed like four years ago, the players certainly were much more vocal about — maybe because we were in a bubble — about the election and voting and whatnot. And while Steph has spoken and you and Pop and Doc have, it appears to be a little bit quieter from the players. I'm wondering if you think there's any rhyme or reason for that or any thoughts on maybe why you — there's not so much push from players, NBA players, as perhaps we heard four years ago.
00:58 I think there's — these things kind of go in in spurts and waves through most of my playing career. Athletes didn't really speak out much politically at all. Four years ago was a very heated time in the country with COVID, with the George Floyd murder. So there's — I think circumstances dictate a lot of that sort of activity, whether it's athletes or young people and that's kind of the history of our country, Vietnam. It went way up and that was coming on the heels of the civil rights movement with Kareem and Muhammad Ali and Jim Brown. And there's a big lull. And so I think it's like everything else. It just — it kind of comes and goes. I also think there's some fatigue involved. I think at some point people kind of just want to get on with their lives and live their lives. And that's — I think there's a lot of fluctuations because of that.
02:08 On the injury front. Oh, I know Wiggins is out. Is that concern beyond today? I mean, I know it's a lower back issue.
02:14 With Wiggs?
02:15 Yeah.
02:17 No, we're confident that this won't be longterm.
02:21 You don't know on a status tomorrow yet though?
02:23 Questionable for tomorrow. And then he's got a chance.
02:26 Yeah. On the Melton front though, obviously he dealt with a back issue pretty much all last season. How much of this is maintenance right now and how much of this is a concern that it's related to — ?
02:37 I mean, obviously it's a concern given that he came to us with the injury. But we are really making sure that we're being careful with it. And, this is all in Rick (Celebrini)'s hands and the training staff. So it's important early in the season, especially to help him get off on the right foot from an injury standpoint, from a health standpoint. So I don't — I can't really tell you anything long term, like, how concerning it is. But we just know that it's serious enough to give him the next couple of days and then regroup from there.
03:17 Hi, Coach. What do you think about Jonathan coming out of the last three games performance, especially the offensive part? And do you think he can find something like he could add in the Warrior system? Do I think he can find something that he can (be) good at, especially for this Warrior system?
03:38 Yeah, I mean, it's — three games is nothing. I don't ever worry about a small sample size like that. JK had a really good preseason. He'll come around. We're going to need his force, his athleticism. And tonight could be a big night for him in that regard, depending on how the play goes…
