Some guys look forward to their free agency years so they can go to a contender. To me, that's what I'm doing. I believe in what this team is doing.

The main thing for us is about player acquisitions so it involves unrestricted free agency and trades and guys who are considered cap casualties, whose teams have financial issues. No matter what it takes to acquire players, that's just the main thing; pro personnel is about player acquisitions for the most part.

I've got to play free agency out, and I've got to look at all of my options.

The Contender

I am dead set against free agency. It can ruin baseball.

In the NBA, you're never immune to rumors and trade rumors and free agency stuff.
