Magloire finally comes out of hiding - press conference tomorrow
From the O-Live blog:

Students and staff from Open Meadow Middle School will help introduce the newest Trail Blazer, Jamaal Magloire, to Portland. Magloire will be available to answer questions from the media and community members, followed by a student-led tour and reception at the Middle School site.

Open Meadow Middle School? Where's that?
Edit: I see now it's a small private school (only 160 students) in North Portland.

He won't show up. He's studying buddhism in Tibet. Although some think he's being trained by the CIA in Belarus.

Update: The audio from Barrett's interview is available here. Here's a summary of the key quotes:
On Portland'd frontline depth:
"It almost looks like a logjam, but in the West depth is a part of winning games, night in and night out.
Will you make an immediate impact?
"To have an impact right away is definitely a priviledge and an honor and if I can get the opportunity to come here, contribute to this team and have an impact, you know, from day one, I would be probably the happiest man in the world."
What qualities will you bring to this team?
"The thing I can bring to this team is leadership, discipline, hard work, and I have aspirations and goals of myself. I just want to come out here and do my part and lead by example."
Can you play at the '4' in addition to the '5'?
I'm looking to play both power forward and center positions. I worked tremendously hard in the offseason and I realize in order for me to have the impact I want to have I'm going to have to play two positions.
Doing the dirty work?
"I don't take 'no' for an answer, I'm very relentless and I'l do the small things that other people won't do in order to win games. They may call it dirty, they may say it's rough, but that doesn't matter to me because all that matters at the end of the day is that we win."
How do you approach the season with regards to being in a contract year?
I tend not to think about the contract. What is most important to me right now in my life is my pride and I want to be in a situation where I can play and be a significant part of a team. If it's here, that would be great because from what I've seen so far this is a great city, but I will not settle for anything less that success and being the best."

Re: Magloire finally comes out of hiding - press conference tomorrow
Did anyone else think there was a negative under-tone in this interview? He kept saying stuff like "...as long as I'm here...", "...if the Blazers give me a chance...", etc. He seemed to really be hinting that Portland better play him and that Portland might just be a short stop for him.
Please let me know if I'm alone in this.
