00:00How do you reflect on your time with the Heat?

00:02Just, you know, went to two different finals,

00:04all the conference finals,

00:05but then also, obviously, the way things ended.

00:08I'm straight.

00:09I don't got too many bad things to say about them.

00:11I don't.

00:12They gave me opportunity.

00:14I felt like I did my job to the highest level.

00:16I have so much respect for that organization,

00:18for the people that's running that organization,

00:20and for my former teammates,

00:22and I'ma always wish them the best.

00:23But I got a lot of love for a lot of people

00:25over there in that organization,

00:26and I just want them to know

00:28that I'm very grateful for the relationships

00:30that I have built,

00:31and that I'll keep for a lifetime.

00:33So, what was it that made you want to leave then?

00:38That's a good question, actually.

00:39That is a good question.

00:40I don't know.

00:41Maybe just a lot of talking back and forth,

00:44and sooner or later, talking's gotta stop.
