I didn't think I would be going to Seattle, but I knew there was a trade out there. I'm excited. It's a fresh new start for me. Hopefully I can just start there and help them win some more games. I like their style of play, they run up and down the floor and that fits my game.

We're just finding out how good we can be. Nobody really knows yet.

When people go down, that's an opportunity.

It's going to take time. It's a learning process.

It's a great gift. Those two guys come in and get us motivated, know how to take over the games for us and put players in the right position. Now that we've got them, so we're going to take advantage of them and ride them all the way.

E.B. [Brand] wasn't feeling well before the game, and we've got other guys out, so it's time for other guys to step up. I did a great job of coming off the bench and giving us energy. That's what we needed.

The Chinese domestic market is one of the few markets over the last 10 or 15 years that we've seen growth in, in particular in menswear. The volume growth we've seen in China, and will continue to see, will be very important in raising prices.

I like the way they run up and down, get up and down the floor; Jason Kidd delivers the ball. That would be my kind of game, running the floor and stuff like that. Obviously, I'm with the Clippers now, so we'll worry about that later.
