Most of the time, before you get traded, there are rumblings. I wasn't totally surprised that I was going to get traded - I anticipated it happening. And I wasn't surprised that I got traded to the Knicks, either.
When I got traded to the Lakers in '97, Kobe Bryant was just a rookie.
The Rockets paid a healthy price for Chris Paul.
It wasn't that I knew Kyrie wanted to be traded or not, or him and LeBron had a beef. I don't know any of those things.
I didn't like it in the beginning, but later on, if I was in Jerry West's shoes, I would do the same thing. I would trade myself for Kobe, no-brainer.
LeBron James needs to go to another team with two superstars already so he can win a championship.
I can't speak for the Warriors but for me and my career, being traded to the Celtics changed the trajectory of my career.
The two top teams with nice weather and nice people were Dallas and Miami. Of course, the Lakers wouldn't want to trade me in the same conference, so Miami was perfect.
