Rob is one of our best players on the team. He can make it happen. That's what I like about Rob. (When he wants to) do something on the floor, he does it. I'm glad he's here.

He's one of the best players in the game. We'll be thrilled to have him on our team.

It's very difficult to replace one of the best players on your team regardless of who you are and regardless of what level you are. He's a great person and he's been a great leader. We'll miss him on defense, his energy and enthusiasm and miss him on special teams where he's been a real factor for us.

The team with the best players wins.

I've never been on a team that subtracted players like this one has.

Al Thornton is one of the best frontcourt players this league has.
