He should be on in about 10 minutes.

can you summarize the gist of what he said ?

He didn't say anything about contract talks except that they have been started, he doesn't know how Phil's decision to keep coaching will affect his decision, his main decision is going to a good organization, blah blah generic stuff, at least so far cuz he's still on.

RECAP:

- Kobe's comments saying that the Lakers needs to focus a lot on Trevor and Lamar: "It feels great. Very humbling. Appreciate it."

- Something he learned in each stop in his destination to LA: "Nothing's ever going to be easy. Fight for everything you want, everything you get. Staying focused on your goals, don't let anyone tell you you're not worth anything."

- "Can't nobody ever take that away from me." - on being called a World Champion.

- Preliminary stages: "Things have started. It's a business, I understand their business, I have to do what I have to do. It's exciting, good experience for me, learning a lot as I go."

- "WHAT!?!?! I'd jump on it in a heartbeat." if offered 50 million. LOL.

- Point to one game, play, aspect that stood out: "So many high times this season. Everything about it was memorable, even the bad times. Thing that stood out the most, is when things got thick in the playoffs with Houston. Kobe and Artest.. Fisher hitting Scola. Turned us around completely."

- Learned from Phil. "He'll always be the greatest coach, first coach who gave me the opportunity to play. Lets you be who you are, he knows basketball is a creative sport. He gives you the freedom to be who you are."

- #1 factor on who he'll sign with. "Knowing that I'm wanted, apart of a team."

- If Phil decided to retire: "Don't know if it will influence me.. he's been key for me as a player and my development, if that happens.. I wouldn't know. I have a strong feeling he'll be back."

- Family's vote in where he ends up going. "Family is very important. Everybody has been supportive, everybody's great."

- Both Bree and Taj like the warm weather: "Yeah, it might affect the decision."

- Hopefully you're back when the dust settles: "We'll see."
