It meant a lot to me because he didn’t have to do it. He had an MVP year last year, why should he move? For him to do that, I can’t thank him enough. It’s his team and I’m just glad he allowed me to come play with him. He could have said ‘hell no’ if he wanted and everyone would have been fine with it. For him to do that so easily, and just text me about it and be happy that I’m happy to come play with him, it means a lot. He really does not have to do this. He’s the man. He plays third way better than I play first, I’m sure.
