It's unfortunate. But it's also a very newsworthy item out there.

I'll say this and I don't want to talk about it anymore. It's interesting to me that for somebody who's been so tight-lipped about everything that goes on in that organization, that I'm the only player that he's ever talked about when it comes to a negotiation.

I've never denied it was tough to leave Atlanta. It's interesting to me, for someone who's been so tightlipped, that I'm the only player he's even talked about. To me, that says there is something that needs to be explained.

I have played a handful of rounds of golf with Wayne Gretzky.
