07:53 AM ET 09.22 | Rudy Fernandez wants to play for ... Portland? After an entire summer of trying anything and everything to force his way out of Portland -- with his agent stepping far enough over the line as to be fined by the league -- [Fernandez] is changing his tone as camp approaches. ... "I think if Portland keeps my rights, that means they believe in me. I'm excited to begin the season with them and prove that I have my place on the team and play minutes. The most important thing is to grow as a player and as a person. I'm an NBA player and there's not many people who can say that."

Well.....I suppose his point is that you better 'get in where you can fit in'.
And fittin' in with the 'Blazers.....in the NBA.....making mass quantities of U.S. currency.....is a heck of a lot better than sitting on a couch at home being mad.

Probably talked to Rubio during the Worlds and realized coming of the bench in Portland is better than starting in Minnesota.

Maybe he realized he could do a lot worse than playing for a possible Western Conf. finalist.

He's not a superstar, so demanding a trade to a team of his choice was just stupid.

Well is it just me or this dude sounds a little boastful. The fact of the matter is, he still won???t get minutes in ???Port Land ???. So the problem remains, less minutes = lower stats, hmm yeah that should really help him in future trade considerations. Get your mind right Rudy!!!

It's not about Rudy, he hasn't establish super star quality to demand a trade yet in the NBA, maybe Spain.
