Valanciunas knows trade rumors will swirl over the next several weeks. How will he deal with that? “Shut my phone off,” he joked, before he got serious. “Talk with my people, not outside people. People I know. To be honest, it’s a part of the deal. You see what’s out there. You expect everything and you just do your job. That doesn’t change. Whatever happens, it will happen. “I just come in every day, work. Every game, I play 100 percent. That’s all I can do. That’s all I do. It’s above me. I have no control in that.” -via New York Times / January 14, 2025
