Bullet Points:

Players love the new practice facility

AD and Monty have been working hard together. Roster is pretty much set but won't count out oppurtunities.

AD has put on a lot of muscle and is a good 242, He's been putting in so much work and it's really paying off.

Talked about the paul george injury. It was scary but those things can happen anywhere.

Acknowledged the injury issues the past couple of years and the freak ones with jrue/ryno.

Likes the schedule and feels good about the team and back to backs due to youth.

Thinks Den/sac/dal will be better. West is tough,also mentioned the east is getting better.

Chemistry/Defense/Health will be key, Acknowledges expectations and is very excited.

Talked with Asik for a few days before he went to turkey for FIBA and mentioned how a great a guy he is,fans will love him. AD is the most excited of all about him.

On the 3 vs 5: It was elected to go after the 5 because defense/rebounding is so important. Felt more comfortable after how well tyreke played, Mentioned miller/babbitt. They'll compete for minutes.

Jrue is 100% and Ryno is near there,He's running/shooting. Hearing great things about Rivers too.

Said Russ Smith is a fighter and will bring it,not sure about how much playing time yet.

There's no part of that post I didn't like. I might just go flap right now.

I think this is an important note. He wasn't asked about Rivers at all, but cut in twice at the end of the interview to make sure he brought him up . With all of the Rivers speculation going on a while back, I definitely think Demps intentionally made it a point to acknowledge him.
