The truth is, the change is here and it's time to move forward.

There's no way to eliminate the memories of the fantastic performance of Kenyon Martin. He is a role model as someone who works hard. We're always going to use him as a role model. I have tremendous respect for Kenyon Martin. I am saddened by his reaction.

I have not received anything official [from Martin]. I'm hoping he will reconsider.

One thing I will say is that Kenyon is never going to be able to erase the great memories I have of him and I'm sure that's true for our fans, ... He was a model for future players. I have great respect for what he accomplished here.

no such request formally made so I don't know where that is.

It's a day of change,
