关于基德下课后，凯里·欧文在达拉斯的未来，乌杰里表示：凯文·杜兰特曾经跟我说过，这世界上只有一个凯里·欧文。我觉得我们得想办法弄清楚，欧文该怎么融入我们的体系。直到昨天，我都在和欧文聊这件事，我觉得他能融入进来。我们心里都非常好奇，想看看他和库珀·弗拉格搭档打球会是什么效果。而且我觉得，弄清楚这件事，也是我们对这支球队应尽的责任。

我很抱歉基德不能继续执教他们，因为我知道欧文对基德很尊敬，我为此负责，但我要做的事就是把他们放在最有机会成功的位置上。

“Kevin Durant once told me that there's only one Kyrie Irving walking around in the world. I think we have to figure out a way, how Kyrie fits with our program. I've had those conversations with Kyrie, up till yesterday and I think Kyrie will fit. There's a huge curiosity in our minds to see how Kyrie fits playing with Cooper Flagg … and I think we owe that organization that we owe this organization.”
