SOUNDBITE: (English) Raymond Felton, New York Knicks:
"Start off by saying thank you to my team mates. Thank you to the fans, my family, my friends, everybody for their support in this situation. This is not a distraction to this team. I'm focusing on finishing out this season, finishing out these games with my teammates and going down to Miami, focusing on this next game at task versus the defending champs. As far as speaking with me off the court about what's going on there will be no comment. If you've got any questions or anything, speak with my lawyer. But other than that, I'm here to concentrate on this team, finish this season out with the New York Knicks and see what happens, man. Trying to make it to the playoffs. We're 5 and-a-half games out, 25 games left, so I'm really focusing on that with these guys, with the team and trying to make that happen."
