"This team can't mimic Miami or OKC." -- Julius Erving

"Doug's going to do what's best for him and his family, and I think the organization is always going to do what's best for them. The organization can ill afford to have Doug walk away, because they're not going to get a better coach, or a better teacher." -- Julius Erving
