Channing Frye understands that basketball is more a business than anything else, but he still hopes to remain a member of the Blazers, according to Hoopsworld.

"I hope so. I always hope," Frye told HoopsWorld when asked about remaining in Portland.

"But at the same time if something happens and they (Blazers' management) feel they've got to make an opportunity better for them, I'm not going to take it personally. I want to be here. I think I'm going to be here, but you always have to have that kind of attitude."
