My character has always been important to me. That was the one thing that I knew, no matter what, I had to hold that strong.
Teams are often pretty clear about what they can do or are willing to do.
I don't feel like basketball is the only way to make a living.
I am not a passenger in anything I do. I am and always will be a leader.
I have people that I'm close to that give me things to read throughout the season, and in particular in the playoffs and the postseason.
I'm not chasing money, so I'm not looking at just trying to stretch out a deal artificially just to have a certain number.
