When I look at our roster, I'm sure all of you have printed that I'm coming up on 35, and given my situation and my salary structure and all that, yeah, I have to wonder if this team is going to make moves and they haven't.
I don't think I'll be playing again. I'm very content and happy, doing the types of things I haven't gotten to do, be a father.
It's fool's gold if you are winning games and are not playing the right way.
I'm not apologizing to anybody for anything.
I meet a lot of people.
As of right now, I have no desire. I've watched several games and played pickup ball thinking I'd have the feeling I'd like to get back, but I didn't have that feeling. I don't really miss the game.
I've never had a chance to go to the Finals, and I don't have a ring - and that would be the only thing that would get me to think about it.
I'm still doing something I love to do.
Even if I would have left on a good note, there is still going to be people who don't like you, who don't like what you stand for. I can't worry about that.
If these are the last 34 games of my NBA career, I want them played as tough as I can.
I've been shooting the ball and running a little bit. It's just going out here now and forgetting that I've been out and try to get back in and make sure I know what's going on out there on the floor and that we're just not lost as a team.
I hope the business sense that artists like Jay-Z and Nelly are showing rubs off on the young players. I want somebody to stand up and say, Look, these kids got it going on. We want to be a part of them.
I actually think some of the rappers can help our image, because the thing I'm concerned about is the NBA's image. I always want our image to be on the rise, and if the rappers can help young players get business-minded, then I'm all for it.
I didn't go in there and tell them I think you should move me, but I also understand the nature of this business.
I have to be a father first and a husband first.
If you're going to trade me, trade me. Whenever they are going to do, let them do it so I can situated.
