And he probably didn't even make those comments to the media at all. For all we know, this could stem from a private conversation between him and Feaster and was leaked to the media by either party, could be completely fabricated by a media blowhard, or something in between.
Although it makes moving an "asset" nearly impossible now, I prefer that (if true) he made his intention to retire clear before a potential trade deal was in place. He's got the right to quit whenever he wants, so there's little point in shopping him around because he's at the point in his career where he'd rather walk away from the game than put his family through a move right now.
