I'm still going to have to go out and score, but defensively hopefully I can make them a little bit better.
Sam is there, Sam has been playing well, he has been doing great in camp.
I just want to do the same things there that I was able to do here - be a team player and go out and help the team in any way I can.
I definitely think that myself and Sam will help the Timberwolves.
I just meant as far as coming to the games on time; it was just like I was under the microscope, every little thing, it was like they were looking for me to come in here with my shoes untied.
I think it was one of the better meetings that I've had with those guys, because I was honestly able to say everything I wanted to say, and I pretty much aired out the dirty laundry. So from that point on, I thought all of that was behind us.
I think that was one thing I definitely brought to the table, my aggressiveness and my style of play, and I think that's one of the reasons why the fans here really appreciated the way that I went out and played, just because I think they kind of liked that.
I think was able to do a lot of things here.
I'm 33 years old now. I really want that ring. I got a taste of it here.
Well I forgot how different it was because I've been here for about four or five years. It's a big load off my shoulders now. Now that I'm there, I'm like, man, I can breathe a little bit, you know?
Fortunately for me I was able to do well here, and it really did great things for my career and now hopefully I can go out there and continue to do what I did.
Over there, Kevin McHale, I feel like I'm talking to someone I know. It's just a total different atmosphere.
When I was put in a situation where I'm going there, you have to look at the team and the possibility that hey, we can probably do some good things over there.
Why would I want to help them (the T -Wolves) win a title? They're not doing anything for me. I'm at risk. I have a lot of risk here. I got my family to feed.
