It's May, and he knows he's got a big decision to make ... It's obvious that we'd love to have him, but so would a lot of other teams, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens there this summer. I was fortunate enough to spend some time around him during All-Star games. He's a great dude and he's from here, so I think it would be a great fit, but hey, that's not my decision.
We need to get better -- that's my only concern ... As the Mavericks, usually we pride ourselves over the last decade not to play for the seventh seed or the eighth seed or just to make it into the playoffs. Our goal was always to be obviously one of the top four in the West, get home court and make a deep run.
We all know what he means on the court -- one of the best clutch shooters I think this league has ever seen ... But also off the court [he's] always joking, great for the chemistry, great in the community, so he's my man. Hopefully it's going to work out, it's going to work out for him the way he wants it to. I think it's definitely going to be weird seeing him in a different jersey, so hopefully we figure it out and he'll be here.More quotes »
