    I think it might be a bit early to call for Rudy's head. The article cited "league sources" and they only talked about Euro teams trying to woo Rudy. Of course they are!

    Until someone more reputable then league sources makes the same statements, I will take this with a very large grain of spainish sea salt.

    I want Rudy. He is so skilled on both ends of the court. He still has things to work on, but overall, if his rookie year was any indication of what's to come, we would be foolish to move him for any player that isn't an All Star or has the potential to be one.

    Re: Rudy may want out?

    Suuuuuure. That was Nate who did that and not Sergio and Rudy doing something that they had clearly done many, many, many times before.

    Rudy/Outlaw/Batum/Bayless/2010 #1 for Harris/CDR

    Harris/Blake
    Roy/CDR
    Hedo/Web
    LMA/Pendergraph
    Oden/Przy

    I'd be more than happy with that.

    C'mon. Where are all the Mr. Sonic jock sniffers? Yet another player complaining how he was used by Nate.

    Oh my god! A voice of reason! Don't you know the rule on message board is:
    1) speculate
    2) condemn
    3) find out the facts - maybe

    If your take is accurate, then I don't want him on the Blazers. That's a pretty "me-first" way of framing why Rudy came to the USA. Another reason could have been to win a title in the best league in the world, or to measure himself against the best players in the world. Yet, from at least a few reports over the past year, we are hearing rumors of what could be a very selfish player.

    Rudy whining about how he was used, when during the season he was talking about how run-down and tired he was. Give me a break.

    Cheers to Chris Sheridan for inciting a near Blazer board riot with his rumors and suppositions. Nothing like a half-baked soap opera plot to liven up the sports news cycle!

    Sounds to me that the same meddling Spanish agent that was upset over Rush is at it again.

    Navarro was a 2nd round pick and was free to leave Memphis. Not at all similar.

    I didn't say that. At all. I posted the word RUMORS for a reason.

    Regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, I still feel that Rudy will need to be moved in the long run. It's not like we're grooming him behind an older shooting guard. Brandon Roy will be here for years to come, so unless we plan on losing Rudy to free agency (which I think will happen), we should probably deal him.
