Mr Forum Leader: Thanks for sharing the interview!
That is a very informative interview. Bottom line is Joe wanted a deal for James or Atkins but could not make one without giving up too much. Nazi is still here because Joe could not make a deal. His comments about the coach are interesting but guarded. Otherwise Joe seemed much more open in this interview than normal.

Re: WDFN 1130AM Joe Dumars Interview Feb 23 2007

This is a pretty good interview.



Monday and Tuesday is the worst cuz you got the worst deals from teams. Probably not close to a deal for anyone.

Trading a contract: dollar for dollar deal.
get a guard that they knew. someone who played for the team before.

what changed a month ago and now for Dale Davis and Nazr. Talked to them. Both told Joe: I'll be happy if i got moved if not I will not be a problem and i'll be happy here cuz i believe I'm going to win you a playoff game.

Orlando game prophetic. Throw TAzr and NAzr in positions to contribute and they deliver. You'll never know when you'll need those guys.

Webber working out well. Will try to keep him.

Tay injury. First thought: how long.

Flip to Minny...not concerned.

I like that attitude. These guys (and Flip Jr.) are the most likely to be disgruntled, and if they are really ok with their roles, it says good things about the chemistry right now.

It's a 20 minute interview. You're looking at 2+ hours for someone to transcribe it. That's a big job.

If I have some time, I will go through and take detailed notes, but no promises.

I heard it. Slippy nailed the main highlights. Thing I can add is that he said he spent most of the trade week on the phones. Even said he had some initial agreements until the other GM backed out. His main targets were Mike James and Chuckie Atkins.

I thought the part about Mohammed being ok with sitting out the season as long as he was part of the playoff roster was very professional of him. Dumars likes the fact that Mohammed and Davis both have playoff experience and they both reassured him that they will be ready if they are needed.
