Post Season Interviews.. Nate: "Zach wants to stay"
1080 The Fan is playing clips from the post-season interviews at the Blazer
practice facility.
Nash: Mostly said the company line. "We're in a better situation right now
than we were last year at this time because of Nate." He was also very
pleased with how well Martell came on at the end of the season.
There were some legal reasons why he couldnt talk about underclassmen in the
draft at this time, so he didnt talk much about Adam Morrison. He did however
answer a question when asked if he would be worried about Morrison's lack of
defense. He answered; "Most guys when they come in the NBA cant play defense.
Guys like Martell and Travis couldnt play summer league defense but have
becomecompetent defenders in a very short period of time. So I'm not worried
about something like that."
Nate: He talked mostly about Zach and Darius.
As everyone knows, Nate talked to Darius before the season started, at that
time, Darius had told him he didnt want to play here but was willing to give
him a full season. Nate then talked with Darius this morning and he still
feels the same way he did last summer. He wants the team to look to trade
him and they will do that. However, Nate is approaching the situation
as though Darius will be back next year. "Just because a guy wants
to be traded doesnt mean hecan be traded."
Now, heres the shocker... Nate talked to Zach earlier today and basicly asked
him the same question he asked Darius. "I know what he told you guys in the
media, but I spoke with Zach earlier today and he told me that he wants to be
back next season. Earlier he was very frustrated with everything, but he made
it know that he wants to stay here. So I am very encouraged by that."
Nate on Martell... "He got the size to be a really good 2 guard in this league.
I played him at the 2 and the 3 this year, but he is a legit 2 guard. I forsee
him getting a lot of minutes next year."
More to come from the practice facility today...
There should also be some interesting things on Courtside tonight.
