“One of my most important responsibilities as commissioner of the NBA is to protect the integrity of professional basketball and preserve public confidence in the league and our sport.”

I oppose any course of action that would compromise these objectives.

It was far from what we set it out to accomplish in bargaining, but I thought it was a fair compromise.
