It's apparent that Toumani Camara wants to be a more central part of the Portland Trail Blazers' path forward, and it would appear the feeling is mutual. One recent quote from a Blazers front office executive serves to back this up.
"It was so important for him and for us that he got some recognition last year," said a Portland front office executive back in July. "Toumani is really, really good. We’re hoping to be able to work something out to keep in Portland for a long time."
It's clear that Camara has earned the respect of not only this fanbase, but of his coaches and the front office as well.
