Here’s what Rodriguez said on the matter in an interview with Spanish news agency EFE, per ACB: Sergio Rodriguez didn’t rule out new challenges in the NBA. “I don’t know. I’m thinking about the future in the short term. Last year I knew that I wanted to be in a place where I could be for many years and to be with CSKA. Surely, I have adapted very well to the club and to the life there. We’ll see in the future.”

Rodriguez was presented to the press yesterday and the most interesting of his quotes come from his interview in the Spanish newspaper “El Mundo“. “El Chacho” explained why he didn’t returned to Madrid. As he said when asked about the Spanish fans who call him already “traitor”: “My relationship with Madrid has always been great. Being in a place for so many years, with everything I have achieved … I will always have great memories and I will be part of Madrid’s lore. I understand the circumstances. I had to expect something from the NBA that could convince me or attract me. When things did not go in the direction I would want, yes, there were talks with Madrid, but they had completed their roster and there was no open spot. They talk to my agent for the future, but they said that this summer they could not sign me. I do not understand why this is a betrayal, the best option to compete for all titles this year was CSKA Moscow”.

“He is a smart point guard, he’s really great in the pick n’ roll situation. And when you get these big guys with him like Jahil Okafor rolling down the lane with him. You put Joel Embiid in a situation with him, he’s going to be great and crafty with the ball. When you talk about some the experience and savvy that a professional like that brings in the table, I think it’s going to add some things to us in terms of point guard play.”
