"This is one of the toughest moments in my life. Exactly seven years ago this team gave me a chance and I never imagined it would work out this way. They allowed me to grow as a player and a man. Just wanna say thank you. Especially to the fans. From the moment I put on this jersey, you guys showed me love and support, on good nights and bad nights, never turned your back on me. That meant everything and it was the reason I had such pride representing this jersey. To the people behind the scenes, medical staff, strength coaches, equipment guys, security, chefs, coaches, thank you for taking care of me from day 1. Lot of stuff you guys do go unnoticed, but I always appreciated what you guys did in order for me to perform and be the best version of myself. Made so many brothers and friends for life. Loved being part of the Clippers family. Steve and front office thank you guys for trusting me and giving me a chance, year after year. I leave with nothing but love, gratitude and respect for this organization and all you guys. From top to bottom, I'll never forget these seven years and love I got here. Always love Clippers."
