00:00 Last summer, taking $26 million less to be able to sign and
00:04 make the team better and the organization better.
00:09 Changing my role, which media is ball dominant,
00:13 which my ball dominance is really effective.
00:17 But changing my role, trying to change the narrative,
00:21 trying to sacrifice and do whatever it takes to win at the highest level.
00:25 Whatever people talk about and say, I just wanna win at the highest level.
00:29 You know what I mean?
00:30 So taking less money, sacrificing the role, that's not talked about.
00:33 It's talked about the other BS.
00:36 But and it just didn't work out.
00:40 So me leaving Brooklyn and thinking I'm gonna retire as a sixer,
00:44 you know what I mean?
00:45 And the front office had other plans.
00:48 They didn't want me.
00:49 And it's that simple.
00:50 So and there's more detail, more to where I can't talk about.
00:55 But there's a lot of narratives.
00:57 I don't have social media, but there's a lot of narratives and people talking.
01:00 And just they have people think they have an opinion or voice.
01:04 And other people listen to it, you know what I mean?
01:05 But none of that is true.
01:07 >> I don't think so.
01:09 I think he did a lot of great things for us.
01:14 But the notion of misuse,
01:17 maybe that might have been coming from the way he felt.
01:22 The coaching staff and what was said.
01:26 But in my opinion, I just feel like we allowed him to just be himself.
01:32 And we gave him the ball every single possession.
01:36 Because he's really good.
01:38 I mean, he's an amazing player.
