Toumani Camara Rumors

KC Johnson: One of the ways you created buy-in in Portland with a video that's made its way to Chicago is the box, where the defensive player of the game after a win would write his name and drop it into a box. It was an idea you came up with. You said thinking outside the box. Some teams have the belt or the chain but yours was a different wrinkle. Will we have something similar this season in Chicago? And what did that experience mean to you and the Portland team last season? Tiago Splitter: Yeah, I mean, one of our best defenders there was Toumani Camara, right? And never whenever he got like a big stop, he would do the box sign and basically saying, I put that offensive player in the box. And I want to create something different than the belt or the chain and why not, you're going to put their whole squad in the box and whoever is the best defender. something of course to create a bond and the guys had fun with. Still, I don't have a great idea for the Bulls. I have time. But we'll figure out something, but the most important thing you know like I said is the bond.

Sean Highkin: Donovan Clingan not happy with the All-Defense team selections, but not on his own behalf

Anonymous NBA scout on Holiday’s season: “Jrue is just the ultimate glue guy, a true professional on both sides of the floor. When they traded for him, it was like, “Why are they doing this? Let him go somewhere he can compete for a championship.” But Jrue is going to play hard every night, do what’s needed to be done to win games, whether that’s play on the ball, off the ball, whatever. And he was good for them. I love Jrue and the way he complements Toumani (Camara) defensively. That’s two good perimeter defenders.”

Sean Highkin: "There are three guys that are definitely long, term guys you keep and build around: Donovan Clingan, Deni Avdija, and Toumani Camara. Then obviously Dame (Lillard)'s not going anywhere because he's got a no-trade clause. And we've talked about how the new ownership group views Hansen and how the front office is still really high on him. Outside of those five, I think everything is pretty much subject to change. Jrue (Holiday), I could see it going either way pretty easily."

How did you find out about the extension? What was your reaction? Toumani Camara: My agent—I was talking with my agent. I think it was something that he was working on with Joe at the time. I was jumping around, to be honest, for maybe the next 20 minutes after that call. I just couldn't really believe the situation. I think it's a blessing that I'm able to feel comfortable with this team and build something big out here. That's the biggest positive for me, for sure.
