Rudy Fernandez is happy being a member of the Blazers and has withdrawn his early-season trade demand, according to a report in the Oregonian.

"I want to be here. I'm having fun. I bought a home. I bought a car. I don't know what else I can do to prove I want to be here," Fernandez said.

"I'm playing now, too."

Fernandez has become very good friends with teammate Patty Mills, but he's also aware that a trade is still possible.

"If I get traded now," he said, "it's out of my hands."
