    This is from a guy named "Sug" on OLive. (Doesn't he post here too?) He's been giving trade "updates" for the day apparently. Take it for what it's worth, because obviously he can be bsing.

    Ha, that's what I was thinking. No wonder some teams might hate us.

    From what I've gathered you guys would throw a parade if Sergio left.

    Hell I have been gone for a few minutes. What the hell is going on. Ruffin never heard of him - where did he come from and does this have anything to do with a bigger trade?

    I think if Sergio or Outlaw are dealt, there will be a very bimodal response... some people are pretty invested in rooting for or against each of those guys.

    I love Sergio Rodriguez as a player. I think he's the perfect PG for our White Unit.

    No. Remember, he said "some people are going to be upset with who goes".

    Can't be Sergio. I don't know anybody in the city (other than Maris) that thinks this guy can play.

    Same. My ideal future lineup is a Bayless/Sergio tandem. But I wont be sad if Sergio leaving gets us a player like Wallace or Butler. Jefferson may be another story.
