Garrett Temple: “Now, by going to the Warriors, maybe people can understand, ‘Okay, maybe he is all about winning.’ Because he could’ve went to a bad team and gotten paid [more money], but that wouldn’t have done anything for him and his value. For him to go to Golden State [impressed me]. And now, I saw today that he said ‘If I have to come off of the bench, I’m cool with it.’ That just shows the maturity level he’s at right now. Now, I really hope he can get healthy enough to really do some good things… against every other team except the Grizzlies (laughs).”
