I didn't need to meet with other teams. I didn't care about what offers were on the table. I wanted to be in Atlanta. I wanted to represent for this team.
I'm just going to keep working. Spend more days in the gym, as possible. Just trying to get my game up, and just keep playing. And if it's in God's will for me to win, then I'll get it.
Today is a new day. Even if you were wrong yesterday, you can get it right today.
I've decided to become a member of the Houston Rockets. I feel it's the best place for me and I am excited about joining the Rockets and I'm looking forward to a great season. I want to thank the fans in Los Angeles and wish them the best.
We're trying to send a message to teams that when they come into our house they are going to have a tough game ahead of them.
This was a little bit of payback for me. The first time we played against them, they did a pretty good job on me. I wanted to come out and get some payback because I don't feel like I played well in the first game.
You know hard work will eventually show up for our team and I think that's what the case is now.
We can't let losing stop us from believing. We're a work in progress.
We just didn't give up. We were down 29, even though that's a big deficit, you know you never throw in the towel. We made sure we gave a better effort in the second half and try and come back and win the game.
We can still make a big run. We can steal games because the All-Star break is coming up. We just have to keep chipping away and fighting for that eighth spot, and I really think we can make it.
We'll figure this out. We'll make it work in the future.
We're not trying to get into the playoffs. We're just trying to win games.
We were all embarrassed after that game, and I know exactly how Toronto feels.
We're gaining a lot of confidence in each other, in the new offense and with the coach. Things are looking pretty good for us right now.
