After the first time I got traded - I was in the bullpen warming up for a game in Double A, and I got called back in and got traded - that was probably the, like, most crazy it could be. And once I got traded, the next time it got a little easier, and I got traded the next time - it's just part of it.

As soon as you get traded, you kind of start thinking where you're going to live, your family, you have to pack.

Although it was hard to be traded, I have no hard feelings. I'm grateful to Dan Gilbert and the Cavs organization for 12 amazing years. I know I'm very fortunate. I'm leaving one great team and joining another. I can't wait to put on my new Warrior jersey.

At the end of the day, you just want to go to a team that believes in you... and hopefully wants to build a franchise around you.

I want to finish my career in Cleveland. They gave me the opportunity to play in the big leagues.

I've had many a player tell me all through high school and right up until signing day that they were coming to Alabama, then they signed with somebody else.

I had never been to the playoffs, and it was exciting. The fans went through the roof. They were excited about the whole team. It was great to be traded to a city like Chicago, which was a lot like Boston.

Whenever you get traded out and you are playing for a winning team, it's always good.

The 76ers hold a special place in my heart and I am intrigued by the opportunity to return to Philadelphia, where I was part of a rebuilding program, joining the team the year after it went 9-73 and going to the NBA Finals just four years later.
