The original was in Czech, and since I'm a massive dork, I wanted to see if I could understand some of it. Here goes nothing.
(Asking about what happened after the trade)
Yes, I was glad. I guess I welcomed it. There was an opportunity to play alongside one of the top 10 players in the league Lebron James, and for me Cleveand had a better long-term outlook. I believed that I would be playing. Of course, I went to the bench again. Before long coach Silas was fired and under the new staff once again it wasn't ideal. I was frequently sitting on the bench. The trade to Cleveland was an interesting experience.
How have you been becoming accustomed to Cleveland?
At season's end, I've been on my own. My wife stayed at home in Boston, we're moving before next season. For now we've moved to a house in a smaller town. Cleveland is not a very pretty place but our house is in a nice area.
Will you stay now with the Cavaliers, or will there be another trade?
It's not certain. 50/50. I haven't heard indications of a trade, but I will wait and see. Until the new management comes, with a new general manager and head coach. They will have their own opionions on the makeup of the team. We'll see...
One of the co-owners of the club is now the singer Usher, right? Have you met with him?
Yes, I did meet him. He is very short! (laughs). I like his music, I listen to it. What kind of person he is I can't say for sure. I only met him briefly, once to shake his hand.
This year you will pay for the Czech Republic. Last year you did not play for the national team. What changed?
Last year's reasons I have sufficiently clarified. It would be hard to refuse, but this time around, I think it's the right thing to do. Next time I do not want ot turn town the national team. Also this year it will be easier to qualify. I'm ready for the opportunity. I'm always ready to play for the national team.
Can your club complicate your participation?
I don't think so. It is important that the Czech Basketball Federation have an insurance policy compared to the NBA. Provided the insurance is payed, there shouldn't be a problem.
Do you remember the last time you appeared for the Czech team?
When did I play.. hold on - In January 2002? Yes, against the Slovaks. We won that time.
There is also a question about his agent that I just didn't understand.. I couldn't tell if there were problems with his agent and he's getting a new one or not.
