Do you see yourself finishing the season in Chicago?
If I focus on January 15 I would not be playing like that. The better I play, the more options I will have. There are things that are not in my power, although this year I can choose whether to leave or not. If a team appears that I like, well, but I do not approve the transfer and that's it. This transmits me tranquility. From mid-month we will see what happens and I will do my best for my future. The same as the Bulls. They have always said that they will look for the best for the franchise.
From what I interpret, if an aspiring team or with options to enter the playoffs is interested in you, there could be a next move.
I agree with what he says. My name is and will continue sounding for a possible transfer. If I see that a team appears that I can fit in, have an important role and the Bulls also want it ... why not? This is the NBA and it can happen or not. The more you think about it, the worse. When the time comes, some decision will have to be made.
I suppose that the ovations received by the United Center will have helped him.
It's amazing how people work. In my first game there since my return I remember listening to some whistles. But after several meetings you can not imagine what cheers I received. They even sung me about "MVP, MVP". The people are now very busy with me. I perceive that they want me to stay.
Does this affection of the public have an effect on your decision?
No. It's what I say, the stand one day is like that and the other shows the opposite. For my confidence it is important to feel that warmth, but I can not let that influence my decision.
