Transcript
00:00 >> Doesn't affect our plans.
00:04 I'm not affecting our plans.
00:08 >> So you feel good that he'll be here when he needs to be?
00:11 >> Well, I'm just not letting that affect our plans.
00:14 We have our, again, I don't wanna get into
00:18 how, what we're doing here, but, or not doing.
00:23 I just wanna say that he's in our plans.
00:26 >> Right.
00:27 >> Do you mean- >> And I don't wanna diminish
00:31 anything here about his not being here today or not being here today.
00:36 It's just something we don't need to discuss and
00:40 I don't need to discuss for the benefit of all of us.
00:43 >> I mean, you've been through one of these before with Zeke, and
00:46 obviously the rules are different now.
00:48 Does the fine schedule, that starts today or does it start tomorrow?
00:52 >> Again, I'm not gonna talk about that because you're absolutely right.
00:55 The rules are different.
00:58 But you have to have, agreements have to really be solid or
01:05 you couldn't maintain a roster if you reshuffle the deck.
01:10 And so my point is, and that has nothing to do with Zach at all.
01:16 It just, again, I'm not pissed about that because I don't think it warrants it.
01:22 >> Jerry- >> It does not warrant it.
01:24 >> Not specific to Martin, but over the years,
01:29 you've had times where you've been in a situation and
01:31 it seems like your approach sometimes has been, you come to camp and
01:35 do your thing and we'll hit the accelerator on trying to get with you.
01:38 Is that viable here?
01:39 >> That's not right, number one.
01:42 And that's my saying, you phrased it right, it seems.
01:46 That's not the way, what that seems is not it.
01:51 The facts are that you have to at all times in the system we're in today,
01:57 especially a seasoned system like we're in today.
02:01 In other words, we've been years now putting contracts in place and
02:07 you've gotta rely on those contracts, have to.
02:12 And this isn't reflecting Zach,
02:19 it's just that you've got to rely on the integrity of your contract.
