    I'd rather keep Rudy and trade him next season after he regains some of his value. He isn't a bad player, more confused with his role and unhappy in his current situation. Trading him now would mean getting little to nothing for a player that could easily come out next year and start knocking down threes left and right and get some value back.

    Rudy is far more talented than anyone in this year's draft will ever be.

    What a fucking joke.

    Sounds like KP is running scared and about to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

    Re: Blazers discussing Rudy to Toronto?

    What a clusterfuck. You just don't trade a guy who is coming off an unusually bad year (compared to his rookie year in the NBA and his Euro days) whose value is at its lowest possible point.

    Unless we move #13 in a larger trade for a better player than Rudy, I hate this deal.

    Meh. I'm not sold that Rudy is more than a gimmick player. Good for bursts of exciting play, but for the most part a disappointment. I think a lot around here overvalue him.

    Let me be the first of many to say that this is fairly lol-worthy. Better than Wall? Hell, Turner is probably better than him right now.

    Trading Batum is throwing the baby out. Rudy is throwing a rubber ducky out.

    Young is a steaming pile of garbage. Not only do his stats suck, he also has a pathetic work ethic: http://www.blazersedge.com/2010/3/20/1382121/media-row-report-blazers-76

    Oh, and my guess is we're going after a big @ 12. Patterson, Aldrich... maybe Orton?

    Me, I'd want Aldrich to replace Pryz. I mean LOOK AT HIM. Are we sure that isn't Joel's long lost little brother?

    rudy is just flat out not that good. I would not say I would take anyone for him but I would do this deal. He is very overrated by our fan base. plus it is clear that he does not want to be in portland.

    I like Rudy but haven't been as impressed as I was before we drafted him (I was pretty high on him before we ever got his rights). He doesn't take the ball to the rim the way I hoped he would on a regular basis, pretty much a 3pt specialist at this point. Which is unfortunate for us...I think if the offense revolved more around him he would be more efficient.

    It depends on who is available. I think someone with high-upside (think Paul George) was available then I would do it. But not for anyone else who is projected to go in that last lottery range.
