    He’s going to be so good in the locker room. And dame always gravitates towards vets. They’re gonna like each other.

    I really like Tolliver, locker room always needs a guy like him, especially one filled with young guys like Portland.

    I called Leonard "Biebs", and I'm calling Tolliver "z3" (shoots 3s, looks like a zombie).

    He's the type of vet, most teams get from day 1. Glad to have him.

    If you've ever listened to any Tolliver interviews, you know he's incredibly well spoken. He's gonna be loved by all the guys here.

    Toll Booth for life.

    Looks like CJ just gave Tolliver a "Welcome to Portland" glass bong.

    Oh, so Tolliver is Vanderpool's replacement.

    I can get on board with that.

    Former Creighton standout Anthony Tolliver 'excited' about fit with Portland Trail Blazers

    "I figured I'd have a job, and just wasn't sure where it was going to be," Tolliver, who signed with the Portland Trail Blazers, said during an appearance on "The Bottom Line."

    "And now it's just a really good situation to be able to go to, to be able to hopefully play on a team that's going to be a contender."

    Tolliver talked about being inducted into the Jays' hall of fame, his fit with Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, the success of his basketball camp and much more. See a transcript of select excerpts below or check out the full interview at the top of the page.

    "I'm really, really excited about it. ... I'm just really, really honored. It's not something that I really expected or, went for, or anything like that, it was just more: they called me up, like, 'Hey, we want you in the hall of fame.' I'm like, 'Oh, okay!' Like I said, I don't play for those reasons. To get notarized or to get to get a recognition or awards or anything like that. So whenever I do, it's really cool."

    On how he fits with the Portland Trail Blazers:

    "They have a good combination of young guys and veterans. Obviously, they went to the Western Conference Finals last year and surprised a lot of people. So I think one of the biggest deficiencies was having enough shooting around Dame (Damian Lillard) and CJ (McCollum). And, they had some really good athletes, but the shooting was not as good. So, Golden State every time, CJ and Dame touched the ball, they would just blitz them. And they wouldn't have an opportunity to really affect the game on the offensive end. ... I'm really excited about the prospects of the team that we're going to have, the guys that I'm going to be particularly playing with coming off the bench. Yeah, I'm really, really excited about it."...................

    Listen I like him for the locker room, but he shouldn’t be getting minutes, nevermind more than Skal. It’s early but when it comes to the new guys, playing time should be earned, not given.

    Still waiting for him to arrive in Portland. Did he have a delayed flight or something?

    In game one, it looked like Skal was getting backup 5 minutes while Tolliver was getting backup 4 minutes.
