Sergio Rodriguez gave an interview in his native language to ultimatenba.com and said this, at least according to the Hoopshype.com translation:

“I’ve always wanted to succeed in Portland, although if it’s not possible and in order to play consistently I have to change teams, whatever it takes.  I’ll do anything to have success in the league.”

This doesn’t mean he’s dished out a play-me-or-trade-me ultimatum. He doesn’t have to, does he? The Blazers can’t really be pondering keeping him on the roster through another season, can they? Seriously? They’ve already made up their minds about him — I think at this point they’re just trying to see if he can bring them back anything of value in trade. A first-round draft choice, at the very least.

I believe he will play well in the NBA for somebody, particularly a team that likes to play an uptempo game. But for all concerned, it looks to me as if it would be best for him to move on. Can you blame him for wanting to play?
