I owe it to myself, to the fans and to the Celtics and the coaches to come back next year ready to play. That's my goal.

Like Doc said, the trade will clear out a lot of negative stuff in the locker room without Mark Blount and Marcus Banks, who didn't really want to be here. It clears the negative stuff out of the locker room and off the team, period.

This was fun because at one point Doc wasn't comfortable with us out there together.

It was tiring. I had a couple dunks and a lot of jumpers, jump hooks and free throws. It was crazy.
