How do you feel?
Very happy. It’s very important to have a team trusting me. I like the team, the city, and avobe all the coach. Paul Westphal loves attacking and running, and that’s my style.

Did you get any call from Sacramento’s staff?
Not yet. My agent has told me that tomorrow (for today) I’ll get a call.

What was the night like?
Actually quite calm. I knew quite early that I was heading to Sacramento, and even that Evans was no.4, even before the 1st pick. I don’t really know Evans, but I think we’ll play together.

What do you think about Sacramento?
I know the city, I did a workout there three years ago. It’s quiet, sunny, which I love and you’re in California. Nocioni’s there so I could speak spanish, and also the physic trainer, I talked a lot with him when I was there and we usually talk when we meet in the court.

Do you see yourself fighting for the starting spot with Beno Udrih, who isn’t a favorite there?
I don’t really care about that. I’ve had a shot of illusion. I needed to get out of Portland. I felt like I was in a tunnal without seeing an exit, and now I’ve found it.

What memories are you leaving in Portland?
A lot, and all of them are good. It’s been three great years, where the fans, pess and franchise have treated me pretty well. It’s nobody’s fault: It just didn’t pan out as we thought and that’s that. I’m leaving many friends there.
