01:48 Last year, different situation, but Melton tore his ACL, you ended up trading the contract. How do you envision Jimmy, his contract, he's under contract next year, his rehab and the willingness or non-willingness to potentially move his contract?

02:05 I mean, I don't envision that, but now that you've brought it up, I guess I'd say what I envision for him is kind of giving us a boost next year the same way he did last year when he arrived. And so, at some point during the season, him returning and being the player he's been, I mean, at his age, what he's doing this year, to have the year he's had, is impressive. I think he's got a style of game that can play for a long time with his skill, his physicality, his mind for the game, so I guess my vision for him is him returning at some point between now and this time next year.

03:32 What are the next steps for Jimmy's injury, surgery-wise and rehab?

03:36 Yeah, I mean, it's figuring out the surgery date and then he'll get into some rehab from there and it's a long road ahead, but it's a very recoverable injury and we're optimistic about it and hope to get him out here as soon as we can.

03:52 Mike, how do you feel personally about this type of injury? I mean, you've known Jimmy for a long time just as a former teammate and then was a big part in bringing him here. How do you feel personally about the situation and also have you talked to Jimmy and how is his spirits right now?

04:06 Yeah, Jimmy's in good spirits. I hate it for him on a personal level, a former teammate. I've been through some injuries and surgeries, but never an ACL or something that significant, so I know he's got a long road ahead, but he'll have the support of our group, our organization, our medical side, and I know he'll bounce back.

04:27 Haven't talked to you, I don't think, since the report of Kuminga's trade demand. How did you take that and does Jimmy's injury alter the way you're approaching what Kuminga could be — what could happen to him by the trade deadline?

04:42 Yeah, I mean, I think as far as the demand, I'm aware of that. I think when you, in terms of demands, when you make a demand, there needs to be demand on the market, so we'll see where that unfolds, but heard. Always with these guys, I tell them I'm willing to work with them, want to help people out, whether that's JK or any player on the roster. So, we're good with, if that's his wishes, trying to figure that out, but we gotta do what's best for our organization and that's what we'll do. And as far as it goes with the deadline coming up, I think we'll take the next couple weeks to assess this team a little bit more. I felt pretty good with where we're at heading into last night's game in terms of what we need to do. I thought our team was playing really well, heading in the right direction. Obviously, things have changed, so I want to take a couple weeks here to watch these games and see our team and what we can do better.

10:59 Mike, you brought up, when it comes to the trade demand, there needs to be a demand on the other side as well. What have you felt Jonathan's market has been and have you, is there any concern that these DNPs have hurt his value when it comes to the trade market?

11:12 No concern. Market, I'll keep to myself.
