Q&A with Tony Allen, Memphis Grizzlies

Here in Oklahoma City, we know how tough it was for Kendrick Perkins to leave Boston, and how tough it was for Boston to say good-bye to Perkins. Was it tough for you to leave Boston as a free agent?

“It wasn't as tough. I left trying to start something new. I don't think Perk wanted to leave. I was looking for a better situation for Tony Allen, and I did that. I came here not knowing if we were going to win. A lot of people questioned why I came. A lot of people said that I was immature. But what I've done for this team has just showed what I can do. I don't even want to talk about Boston. That's a chapter in my book.
