Short one …

On the possibility of sticking with the Kings the rest of the season now that Stuart was traded: “You hope so. This is where I want to be. Stuarts a great guy and was very nice when I was here. Its sad to see him go. But, at the same time, I have an opportunity here to prove myself so Im going to take advantage of it.”

On Blake staying and the possibility of learning from him (he hasn’t really been able to play with or watch Blake play much because of Blake’s injury): “Obviously hes going to be a Hall of Famer. You try to learn as much as you can from him since hes a wealth of knowledge. You try to watch him and do as he does. Its really cool for a young kid to come in and get to learn from a guy like him.”
