    I was able to translate it using chrome

    Nothing too groundbreaking, but says Portland has great fans (best atmosphere in the league), wants 30 mins a game, shoot 50%, 42% from 3, 88% from the line.

    Wants to win.

    Doesn't mind sacrificing points (being second fiddle) if team is winning.

    Sure sounds like a guy that's hungry to improve his role

    I agree with 3R, I don't want him sacrificing points. I want him playing defense and scoring as many points as he can.

    How many shots/points/minutes did he average this season? And how did it compare to SFs across the league? I realize the first month and a half was a throw away because he wasn't getting any run. We do need to remember he played his best at the 2 this season.

    Check out his role for Nancy during the lockout. I think that's what he envisages. (Basically what Kirilenko did for his Russian team - he's involved in everything but is unselfish. Part of why I'd be happy to see SVG as coach: he got a lot out of Howard but even more out of otherwise pretty flawed players Hedo and Nelson.)

    I know it is still only May, but he better be in the weight room every day. I wish he was under contract so the blazers could pay Pippen (He needs the money) for an all expense trip to France to show him what it takes in the weight room on a daily basis. I would be happy with just a portion of that dedication. His body needs to be able to take the wear and tear of a #2 roll.
