Welcome back primetime on 1080 the fan -- he can sit it's gonna have this extent town as a -- Yeah I would say so they needed a man in the middle and they got a two time All-Star former NBA defensive player of the year in the middle I would say that's pretty good I would till he's been only fourteen seasons we welcomed. Shoot the fans for the first time newest. Portland -- Marcus -- welcome to parliament. I doubt it's there was report -- you didn't like this deal knows that completely false he storming out of a restaurant and all this bad stuff happening was that just a rumor and innuendo.
Sister rumor. Everything that probably thought of those quotes were from me if it.
Yeah that's -- on us. It's a little hard though when you know you there you know -- LA sunny happy to be there reports he really close the teammates was a little little part go to hear that your your having to -- the situation you're comfortable with.
Any thought you'd trade is always awkward situation now personally you've been completely a couple of years. He's cute surround -- you're familiar which team date and you know you enjoy the situation that you win -- find out ultimately the trading -- want to -- Robinson it is always difficult part. They want to sit back and digest the situation and pick a moment it is so they analyze -- think our -- were you were at and we were gone -- was like no Brandon. Or an opposite different direction known that when I have -- in my career and coming at Portland -- on the by the great players that we haven't. Brandon Roy -- LaMarcus Rogers it was a no brainer not definite look in the situation again back playoff contention again. That we can we get started.
So you were at least at a Portland restaurant when he found out is that part true you know worrying aren't all -- face get a lot of good out of India. The -- peppercorns there you can't beat. And I got to give a -- to -- the bartender has been their for years he's amazing. So all right so now what do you think of when you think of Portland anatomy the -- I mean this city.
Notably you know definite you can get a rain. You know what the result here today without bought the franchise -- deciding allowed a couple of days mile. Hopefully continue to be funny and hopefully have better days out there on the court.
Stanley -- with you you know has that all work.
Right now LaRoche is there a school right now so that'd be tough to pull a modest school and try to put -- and school obviously the school -- and helped them -- a just have a new friends and stuff like that put there in LA don't equate to our flight Saudi Arabia we can.
and Marcus Camby. So you know I guess that brings up that the next question this is the million dollar question is this deal is here this rental player terminology I mean you've got kids you know. How do you plan moving forward -- UA rent a player or is this a situation that you hope. You're here for you know a couple at least two more years.
Awful lot of mental and -- and people in the organization throughout a couple of days you know this city don't they don't view mirror and you know they threw me yearlong term and down. You know hopefully the situation in Brcko for a few next 26 -- and you have the long run in the post season and eventually. You know are going to be here for an extended period of time unnoticed situation up man -- here you know unfortunate for the trailblazers they lost to a good big advantage. So for his ability Greg Oden so in that slot -- what services to be here but like if they don't welcome -- in the welcome in the beer and hopefully can be long term.
A year you turned 36 next month even -- a long time have done some wonderful individual things what I mean. Realistically 34 more years quickly what are you wanna accomplish in that time.
Definitely to win the championship. -- have invented in the finals since 99 -- for eleven years ago so. I know how hard and far between he can be to give back to that level book. Being on this team to -- a better shot to get to a Dylan Garland before so that we look forward to get that ring but also looking forward to get an airport.
They touchy about what your role on this team's going to be.
just pretty much over the coming here and just be much so that due to clear that they and in barber did last fourteen years in. Just try to blend in you know that's my main focus on main focus urbanized will be focused on the defensive on the court would be rebound and the blocking shots and being held a -- Martinez.
Can you be and and much needed -- veteran presence in this locker room -- what kind of -- leader are you when you get inside those walls.
Been sort of in a natural leader I don't. Every team that have been on have been a captain of that team so I think my teammates have my peers respect me as a person respect my ability out the on the court but also the constantly about any situation where does --
I was I knew his blazer Marcus Camby here on the fan. So -- Royce been -- you know he's obviously got that lingering hamstring injury and obviously the big guys are down but you come in. I think you know I I think it's safe to say that the blazes were kind of lost in the shuffle in the west. Before this trade. Not a lot of people expected the team to get out of first round now what Sosa they -- Marcus Camby who's a great player in the middle. What is the ceiling for this team in the post season.
Hopefully we can Burress does that go further but and fanned out in I want. Deep with this thing on the figured it out Gordon green this team all the way to the championship wanted more. There must self -- whole Lotta hard work for us to come together and -- won't have to be lucky to do when book if you play the game the right way play unselfishly. Make the game easier for each other -- have a problem with the wanna.
You know if you bring a championship here you'll never have to pay for another mile ring side again.
I think that a it is so good yeah.
the city of Portland likes his Joe blazes by the way you see you didn't know your you're gonna be kind of a big deal here for the next couple months. Yes standing -- the other night do you have personal relations -- used to play a punter Miller what what personal relationship do you have with current Blazers.
Actually would want power for one year lost tertiary endeavor. You know either he's one in the continent consummate professional that we have in this league. So good see -- the date defeated him to their familiar faces like when Andre Miller. It makes it a whole lot either from myself.
Between you and John Howard you like older than every other guy on the team combined you're the elder statesman and.
Yeah that is that is true you know we -- dinosaurs -- yeah. That we -- their place so we keep ourselves ready.
Marcus Camby did talkin' to you good luck in Dicey -- anticipate playing tomorrow against Boston.
Yes applicant would probably get out there for those great fan.
My good stuff if you wanna hit Kevin Garnett in the face of the noble idea -- that our crime and yeah I'll be okay with that you just we just bar seven and started being bit you know when that guys in the floor you just wanna shut him.
Unity -- marked his said the -- meant thanks to talk to us but you guys go.
