Nash lost one potential trade asset last month when center Arvydas Sabonis decided to retire. With a year and 6 million left on his contract, Sabonis could have been bait to teams seeking cap relief next summer. We had some fairly attractive offers, ... But they were for players with long-term contracts that weren't worth it in the long run.
More Quotes from John Nash:
I've already had three calls today asking, 'Are you guys still ready to do business' ... And the answer is 'Yes.' I think everybody is ready to do business. It's just that you want to make a trade that conforms to the parameters that we've set up, and those are somewhat rigid, frankly.John Nash
One aspect of this is that rationality of thought imposes a limit on a person's concept of his relation to the cosmos.

That talk is ridiculous. Those are the same people who said Chauncey Billups was a bust. The fact is, it takes a while in the NBA, and it takes a while to make the transition from high school. The bottom line is, when we drafted him, there wasn't any commitment to play him in his rookie year, he was going to sit and learn from the veterans. Yet, somehow he forced his way onto the floor through way of practices. And this year, there was no commitment to start him, but somehow he won the starting job. Then he got injured.

Drafted out of high school a year ago, this 6-foot-9 small forward was so raw he barely got off the bench in Portland last season and most of this year as well. Now he's getting a chance to play as part of the Blazers' late-season youth movement, and he's been impressive. Over his past 11 games Outlaw has averaged 11 points (on 56.6 percent shooting) and four rebounds in just 24 minutes per game while playing solid defense. He's been a real pleasant surprise, ... His medium-range jumper has definitely improved. He's a good defender who will block shots at the small forward position. He's further along than we anticipated.
John Nash
We will not tolerate this type of behavior from any player, ... We will continue to demand a higher level of professionalism and personal responsibility from all of our players or we will continue to take appropriate action.
John Nash
Sam has demonstrated a toughness and tenacity at the college level in the CBA, as well as in Europe, ... He will add to the intensity of our training camp and practice sessions.
