I talked to Wally Szczerbiak during shootaround today and he addressed some of the trade rumors swirling out there that have included his name. Here is what he had to say.

"I’ve been traded twice now. The first time it was a shock The last time it was a shock, too. And it’s always an adjustment with you’re family moving. I’m the type of guy that likes to get comfortable in the situation I’m in. And I’m starting to feel very comfortable here, and I’m starting to get my game back on track.

"Unfortunately as a team we’re not having much success. And at this time in my career that’s what I want. I want team success. So whatever happens, happens. I leave that up to the powers that be and I just try to got out there every night and do my job, and help this team win as many games as possible."

And on the possibility of being traded to a contending team at the February trade deadline Szczerbiak had this to say.

"That’s what it’s all about. You want to be on a winning team. You want to be in a situation where every game means something. And we still have an opportunity to make the playoffs, no question. Hopefully we can get on a run and get something going here. But at this point in my career I’d love to have an opportunity to win a championship. I’ve been to the playoffs. I’ve had a taste of that for many years and I want to get back to that point."
