“As far as the reports, I’m not going to say anything about any specific player or anything,” he said. “I’m just going to tell you, you know, we’re aggressive and we’re looking at things all the time.

“We’re going to look at everything. When we acquired Kevin Durant many years ago, that was an incredibly aggressive move that we made. I think half our roster went away in order to accomplish [the deal]. Even though we had a really good team, we felt we could be better, and we [got better]. We went to three finals -- should’ve won all three, we did win two.

“There are these inflection points. These times where sometimes players might be available, even if it’s something you might not have considered, you need to consider it. We’re always looking at everything. I tell Mike [Dunleavy Jr.] and Kirk [Lacob] Nothing is off the table -- nothing. If the deal’s right and the timing is right, we have consensus generally inside, then we got to consider these things.”
