(didn't want to open a new realated topic)

Accidentlly I found some TV program from 13 to November that discuss Spaniards at NBA, have a long discussion there at the begining about Sergioe's situation, and inrviewes there Segio and Rudy and even have a few words with Pritchard about this issue (and little more with him about Rudy). Do somebody here know Spanish and could transtate a little bit?

EDIT: The commentator at the studio played with Sergio at Estodiantez. He is a Serbian player.

Interesting article on Sergio in the Columbian today: http://www.columbian.com/article/200811 ... /-1/SPORTS

Yes, Rodriguez is playing better. And part of that is due to the increased playing time, he said, which has given him confidence.

But Rodriguez said part of that improvement has come from speaking his mind to Pritchard and McMillan, gaining a better understanding of the situation, and clearing his mind again.


Read the rest--very good reporting. And once again, not from The Oregonian.

I will try to summarize:

- He said he talked with his manager before those statements in Marca newspaper.
- He doesn't blame Nate if he doesn't like the way he plays but he doesn't want to stay in the team if this situation continues.
- He doesn't have confidence because he changed his style, he made improvements this summer and thought this season he would play more minutes and everything was the same as last 2 years (this interview was when all this started).

Rudy said he is surprised because he thought he would play less minutes and that he feels better playing with Sergio because he knows him.
