You can't run a press conference in the middle of the draft. In all reality we are all still sitting in our war rooms still. This goes on over one day. Do you even RP?

How does Jabari feel about the bad boys edge that lance Stevenson has, being a good character guy? Jabari Parker:I haven't had a chance to really meet Lance yet, but his influence around this organization is definitely strong. Coach was giving me a tour of the locker room yesterday, and when you walk in there is this big mural of Lance wearing chain-mail on top of a gryphon with a bow and arrow in this fairy-tale type battle against giants and cyclops. Like, this is an entire wall in the locker room. The rumor is he had it commissioned during the middle of the night when no one was around, but no one really knows where it came from. I asked them why no one has taken it down, but I think everyone is just afraid that Lance might do something crazier if they did.

Are the rumours true that Jabari Parker has received 14 different marriage proposals from fans, and accepted all of them?
We know that Mormon polygamy in Utah isn't that uncommon but it's a pretty touchy subject with the rest of the country. Will this cause any issues with the team and the league?

Jabari Parker:I don't know where you heard that rumor but I would like to set the record straight by saying that it is utterly false. It was 15 marriage proposals, not 14.

That is our mistake. We knew about Elizabeth, Margaret, Florence, Bertha, Helen, Olivia, Belinda, Ethel, Emily, Ida, and Katherine, as well as the triplets Mabel, Maude, and Martha. We thought Agatha the Amish girl was just made up though. Sounded a little ridiculous. But we will do better fact checking in the future.

I have one more question because Mormonism is hilarious. Now that Jabari is rich, will he collect pairs of magical underwear like some players collect shoes? Like, I'm imagining entire rooms filled with underwear drawers. Maybe some with a friendly missionary's face printed on it?

Sacramento Bee to Jeff Teague: How surprised were you that OKC offered you very little, if anything, to resign with them and instead opted for Kyle Lowry? Will there be any hard feelings when the Jazz roll into Oklahoma City this year?

Sacramento Bee to Jeff Teague: How surprised were you that OKC offered you very little, if anything, to resign with them and instead opted for Kyle Lowry? Will there be any hard feelings when the Jazz roll into Oklahoma City this year? Jeff Teague:It was a little surprising. We kept waiting for the call to come and it just never did. I'm not sure why they even traded for me in the first place. But it's alright, I understand it's just business. I'm happier now and really excited about joining this Jazz organization. Everyone has made me feel right at home.
As for any sort of bitterness towards the Thunder, I'm not really concerned with that. That team is clearly moving in a different direction by opting for an older, rounder point guard who looks like Raymond Felton's long lost son. No hard feelings.
