--Former Bucks general manager Larry Harris on his dismissal: "When I went into this year, I knew it was going to be the toughest. Not because it was the last year (of his contract), but it was my fifth year and I had really sold this team to the public, that we were gong to be good, that we were going to win, that we were going to play defense. Not a lot of those things have turned out to be the case."
--Larry Krystkowiak, reflecting on his highly disappointing first (and only) full season as the Bucks' head coach: "Let's put it this way: If I had to do it all over again, things would be different. Some of that was self-inflicted and some of that was external. But beyond that -- no sour apples here. I'm going to focus on as much of the positives as I can and chalk a lot of stuff up to experience." QUOTE TO NOTE: "We (the Pistons) make a trade for a young Rip Hamilton and you trade Jerry Stackhouse and, at the time, it was a very unpopular move. Sometimes you have to make unpopular moves. We might have to do that (with the Bucks). Maybe we do it sooner than later." -- New Bucks general manager John Hammond.
