We are very pleased that the Wizards did not match and that Steve Blake is now part of the Trail Blazers family. As we said when we signed him to the offer sheet, Steve has competed at the highest level in college culminated by his experience at Maryland and winning a [NCAA] national championship.

As we said when we signed him to the offer sheet, Steve has competed at the highest level in college culminated by his experience at Maryland and winning a National Championship. With his two seasons at Washington, he adds to the limited experience of a young team and we know he will bring additional energy and enthusiasm to our training camp

I would not be pleased with you.

[What resonated for Blake during his match with Agassi was] when Jimmy Connors sits down and says, 'This is what they came for. This is what we'll give them.' ... It doesn't get any bigger, or better, than that.

I'm please with our offence. I'm not too pleased with our defensive side of the game.
