Turner said the interview, which “lasted a couple of hours,” took place in Las Vegas where Turner is coaching the Rockets summer league team.
“I thought it was productive,” Turner said in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. “We met and exchanged thoughts and ideas.
“I really enjoyed it.”
“He’s doing good. He’s way ahead of schedule,” Gomes said. “He’s training hard and he’s on the court a little bit. We need him back, of course. He’s our All-Star, he’s the motor that goes, so hopefully next year we’ll have a good year.”
The crowd might have oohed and ahhed at Jonny Flynn’s 11-point, seven-assist performance that included a couple of smooth threes and some look-away entry passes into his bigs for dunks, but Flynn wasn’t having any of it.
“I didn’t play up to my standards,” Minnesota’s No. 6 pick in the first round said. Flynn, who wouldn’t blame his performance – 3-for-10 from the field, seven turnovers – on the adjustment of playing off-guard at times with Bobby Brown manning the point, was more upset with his team’s output than his own. “I’m definitely, first and foremost, looking to win. That’s how a point guard gets judged. You can have the best game in the world, but if you’re not winning or you’re not on a winning team, you don’t get looked at … we didn’t win the game. That’s the big thing to me.”
