Being quiet hasn't done much, so let me start talking and see what that does. Why not go all out and go all you can and try to get (to the post-season) like all those other teams. We want to be playing in March and April, too.
Playing behind Kobe, he's not going to get too much playing time. But the most important thing is he reached his goal. He wanted to get there, and he got there. If he would have stayed another year, it probably would have worked anyway. But I still feel it worked out the best for him.
