Our strength is our balance and versatility ... We've got a lot of good players, but no great player like Adam (Morrison) or Ronny (Turiaf).

BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Ronny Turiaf
I'm hoping it will be a productive trip on the court and also a fun experience for our players to enjoy the great Chinese culture ... I do plan to play some of my younger players, like DeMarcus Nelson, Marco Belinelli and Ronny Turiaf, and get a better read on how they can help our team.
said Don Nelson
but the last two games he's made a couple great plays that's really have been over and above what you expect out of players. NO TURIAF SUSPENSION: Laker big man Ronny Turiaf, ejected with a flagrant-2 foul on Price in Game 4, will not be suspended for Wednesday's Game 5. No further action ... Stands as called

I can see myself playing the power forward and center positions ... Wherever I can fit in, that's what I plan on doing. In the past, I've been called upon to play both positions and I'm comfortable doing so. Whatever Coach Nelson asks me to do, I'll do.

It was a very emotional meeting because he loves the city, he loves the organization, there are certain bonds here ... He feels it’s in his best interests to move on. The last thing you want is a young player like Ronny no matter what he’s being paid is being on the bench at 25 years old and not playing. We discussed it yesterday, he wants to play, and sees an opportunity to play in Golden State at least twofold what he can play here.
said Mitch Kupchak
He’s basically on his own to begin conditioning and basketball activity, starting today ... It’s a process. Based on what he did last year, I would expect him to come in in mid-September basically in great shape. I know that’s his goal. He’s coming back this weekend, we’re going to meet with him Monday. He will go to Atlanta late next week to begin his training for the upcoming season.
