Well, it’s been a busy 48 hours. I’ll let you know a little bit about what happens after you get traded in the NBA, but first I’d like to say a big thank you to the Milwaukee Bucks for the opportunity. They’re a great organization full of great people and I wish them and the boys all of the best.



Milwaukee will always be a special place for my wife and I – we got married in our backyard here, made a lot of lifelong friends, I got my first hole in one at Lake Park here; we built a great relationship with Our Next Generation, and to the ONG Kids, the goal is still 1000 books to read for this year, and I’m still going to read my ten books.

So, going back to Friday afternoon – I got the call from the GM and he let me know I’d been traded, but then the phone cut out before he could tell me where so I was trying to call him back to find out where I’d been traded. Then I told Anna, my wife. I talked to my agent, my family, friends. I talked to “Hook” (aka John Henson) I’m glad he’s coming with me so we can help each other out and I’ll be able to show him some good spots around Cleveland. And then it’s just figuring out what you’re going to pack because I was going to be on a flight to Cleveland the next morning.



So, Saturday comes. It’s a long day of travel. I was excited when we eventually got to Cleveland. It was great to see a lot of familiar faces. I’m glad Kev, Tristan and Channing are still on the team from when I played there so it was really good to see them. And it was really cool to be at the Q and watch the boys get a win; all the support and love everyone has shown from Cleveland has been pretty awesome. It just makes me feel really welcomed and I’m excited to come back and play for you guys.



Today I just got some shots up at the practice facility, where I’ve gotten a lot of shots up before and ran through some of the plays just to get a feel for the offense. Some of the plays are similar so that helps out.

Flew back to Milwaukee and just getting some stuff together and packing some more bags. My family is coming out for Christmas as they do each year, so just figuring out the flights. My sisters come on Wednesday so I’m looking forward to seeing them and my parents.
