In an interview with SLAM, Mehmet Okur says the short notice he had between his trade and opening day --basically two days and one hour of practice-- is still affecting his game.

"I feel a lot better than the first time I got here," said Okur. "So I’m still learning about the system, players, city, off the floor. I’m gonna be OK".

Okur also spoke about the dinner he shared with Deron Williams and the GM of Besiktas in San Diego where he and Williams have homes in the same neighborhood and what he told Williams to expect.
