 First of all, can you just explain to us what went into this decision, what you and Lauren maybe saw about the city of Boston that made you want to choose this long-term? Um, I think for the most part, man, I think since I came here and kind of the situation, how I got here, it's only been love. So the city of Boston, not only then, but the organization made it super easy for us to kind of navigate and get through a time that was a bit stressful for us. So just an appreciation, you know, and we love the city, we love this organization, the players in it, and what they stand for doing our best to try to get this letter or another banner. Is this something important for you to do, considering how you got here and how the places you've been here? You mean the timing? The timing, the fact that it's an extension? Right, um, I think it is for me, you know? I think being able to lock in some more years and get more time with players and this organization, I'm just excited. I'm excited to be here and to move forward. What are your expectations coming into Boston, given all the, obviously, you expected to be in Milwaukee, you're here, how has this met your expectations? Well, yeah, once I got here, or even once I knew I was getting traded here, this was a part of what I wanted or what I envisioned. Being in the great organization, being here for a lengthy amount of time and being able to play along guys like JT and JB and really try to, you know what I mean? Get more banners, get more rings. Drew, how big is it that you guys got this done? Honestly, it's a blessing. I played, this is my 15th year. I'm 33. I think that the opportunity that guy's given me to be able to already play for this many years and then kind of lock it in for more, for me to be healthy, for organization just to see me and appreciate what I bring to a team is a blessing for me. So, at the end of the day, I am glad that we got it done before the playoffs. If it would have happened after, I still would have been happy. I still would have been locked in, but just really, really happy and really blessed. How did it come together? Excuse me? How did it come together? It was an ongoing conversation. Yeah, it was an ongoing conversation. It was, I feel like it was pretty, I don't know, I thought it was pretty easy, you know? I think mutually, we kind of just came to an agreement and felt like this was what was best for, not only me, but for the team and just hope it works, you know? I want to be here. I want to win multiple rings and I've heard people say that here plenty of times, so I'm ready for that. And you've talked about it. How has being here working with Joe kind of re-inspired you as far as the game and how you view your team? Yeah, Joe has definitely grown my game, grown kind of my visual perspective on basketball where every year I do plan to grow, but I think being able to give me a different responsibility to look at the game differently, especially with the players and the pieces that we have, I've never been on a team like this. So it's been fun just to get to know Joe and kind of his craziness and his schemes, but at the same time really see our team put it together in your mind. You thinking in the beginning, I'll be more of a role-player on this team and then him sort of encouraging like, you have to be a huge piece of this team, not just a role-player. And where are you at now with that mentality? Really just being me, being wherever the team fits or whatever the team needs. There's going to be days where I'm going to be scoring a lot, but there's going to be days where I'm going to have to defend and get stills or I guess that's every day. But there might be days where I'm shooting corner-threes and I feel like whatever fit that I fit in during that game or during that time, during that moment, I'm here for that. Has it been difficult to try to find that fit or has that come kind of naturally to who you are and making sure that you are doing what's needed in that day to help winning? Yeah, I think there was a little bump there in the beginning. Just, again, trying to get my bearings in the city in general. But I think it comes pretty easy. Just the type of guy that molds to my situation. And honestly, these players are really good. I think when you play with them, they make the game easy for you. This is probably one of the most that I've got. So many open shots and just really just had to lock in and knock them down. So it's been, like I said, maybe a little bit in the beginning, but it's been pretty easy. We went this round in Milwaukee in 2021, signing the extension for the playoffs. Was that piece of mind valuable going into the postseason? I think so. I think knowing that whatever we build here and whatever happens this season is just going to continue to grow and get better at the seasons after that. But honestly, I think during this time, yes, I was thinking about it, but I would say that the most important thing for me is that I wanted to just continue to show the city, continue to show my team that I want to be here and I want to play with. That was if I signed the contract or not. You mentioned the adjustment. What's been the biggest adjustment for you coming here? And did you view this kind of as potentially that, you know, last stop for you, long-term stop? Or, you know, did that kind of have to be something you have to feel out over the years? Here, I feel like that was something that I wanted when I signed here. Obviously knowing this is my 15th year, I know, you know, I mean, time is coming. So I think being able to be on a team and being in an organization like this is big for me. But I think from the beginning, this is a part of what I wanted. Last question. What is it going to take for this group to kind of lock in and achieve what it's capable of in here? A little bit of luck, a lot of health, and I think a lot of mental fortitude, I think, for us to be strong mentally where a lot of people, if a game goes wrong or somebody misses a big shot or does something like that, you hear the noise. But I think as a team, we've done a really good job of blocking all that out. Even when, I mean, we're the number one team in the league, and they have to find something to talk about. I think we've done a good job of just blocking out all the noise and sticking close as a team. Presented by your New England Ford dealers. Built for America. Built Ford proud.
