Anytime you hear different things - whether it's trade rumors or people saying you're not living up to your complete potential - you're obviously going to get ticked off about that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In the NBA, you're never immune to rumors and trade rumors and free agency stuff.
It seems there's always another rumor about my life; some people are simply talked about more than others.
People don't want to hear about it if you're frustrated with your big career break.
I never talk about my personal life. After these rumours, I definitely do not want to comment on anything.
I've heard rumors about myself that are true - and nobody likes that. But there's actually something very liberating when you hear a false rumor because you realize there's nothing you can do. People are going to say whatever they want - especially on chat boards.
While I sign off on trades or free agents, I've rarely overruled my basketball people's decisions. But I'm not shy about steering the discussion or pushing deeper if something doesn't make sense to me.
I've got an overly developed sense of what selling out is, and I of course worry about it too much.
The danger that we have right now are people who get the same information as I do and, therefore, think they'll reach the same conclusions that haven't traded as long, don't have bear claws up and down their backs like I do.
As soon as you get traded, you kind of start thinking where you're going to live, your family, you have to pack.
Rumours are a part and parcel of being an actor, and I am okay with that.
