Wayne Embry

Famous quotes by Wayne Embry:

"Even last year when I came in here, I thought expectations were perhaps misjudged,"

"We looked at this team and where we were and knew it was time to rebuild. We were the sixth oldest team in the league. We needed youth, enthusiasm and potential ... I've been involved with teams like this a few times. We did it in Milwaukee. We did it in Cleveland. We can do it here."

"Sometimes you don't know where winning comes from. One year in Cleveland, we drafted Brevin Knight and Derek Anderson and I'll be damned if we didn't win 47 games. When you get young, enthusiastic energetic players, you can do some things."

"I was cut in my rookie year,"

"A player has to commit to it. A player has to want to do it. You can't just rely on your athletic ability. You have to grow, you have to learn. You have to have a zeal to succeed."

"I look at this as similar to that situation, ... There's hope here. I feel hope. Chris Bosh is a future superstar. The kids drafted should blend in with him. That's something to build around, build together."

"I look at this as similar to that situation. There's hope here. I feel hope. Chris Bosh is a future superstar. The kids drafted should blend in with him. That's something to build around, build together."

"This is kind of tough for me because Rob recommended that the organization bring me. I'm very grateful for that. I will try to steer franchise towards the ultimate goal of winning a championship. Of course, that's a long way away, I realize that. But if we can make positive steps during my interim ? and in bold type interim ? role, I want to do everything I can possibly do to advance this franchise. We are in transition; I recognize that."

"I'm the guy who traded Kareem Abdul-Jabbar."

"I had to start over in Milwaukee and were able to build a (good) team. When I went to Cleveland (in 1985 as vice-president and GM) we did the same thing with a blend of young players and veterans. This franchise is in the same position. It's essential we blend youth in with veterans. We're going to continue that plan and I can see positive results."
