    I wouldn't. Agents get stuff out realllllllllllllll quick, and if Rudy told his agent about his concerns (which is highly likely), I wouldn't be at all surprised if his agent was the one spreading the news to the "sources." Of course Rudy's concerns might be really overblown and exaggerated by then, but that's the truth with most "news" stories.

    Unless Rudy is pulling a Sergio and he's voicing his discontent through the media.

    Man, the reaction to an internet rumor around here is about as predictable as the results of the doctor's little rubber hammer tapping a knee.

    Gotta love this time of year.

    I love Rudy's game but not enough to play over Roy. I think Nate could have used he better playing Roy and Rudy more together in the regular season. I still think it doesn't matter about Hedo and it would have been something else to upset Rudy with playing behind Roy. I hate to say this but now is the time to trade Rudy with his value still fairly high. I would still sign Hedo and try and trade Rudy, Blake and Outlaw plus picks for Harris or maybe even Conley.

    Why do you keep putting words in my mouth? If you want to ask a question, great, but you are assuming things that I didn't say.

    Man.. I'm just joking with you hence the 'haha' at the end of it. Don't take everything all so seriously.

    If true though, I would prefer our Cap to be used at PG and Rudy to stay. Not so much to please him.. I just think our money is better used elsewhere.

    So the Blazers will overpay a 30 year old player and lose a young player with pretty good talent.

    KP seems smarter than this.

    our 3 position is essentially fine. just some better experience and let them grow into it....sure, Hedo has playoff experience but in 5 years, so will TROUT, martell and Batum (whomever's left).

    why, out of spite?

    please. put the best team for a long playoff run together. Rudy is a great part and player for winning teams IMO.

    Turkey Glue is overrated. He'll play well at times but he's getting older and not worth the big money.

    I am pretty certain that this entire going after Turk is a clear sign that the Blazers are ready to consolidate - so there is probably a move for a PG that is waiting to happen...

    Even without the Rudy drama - we had Webster, Outlaw and Batum fighting for minutes behind Turk. The plan is clearly to do something more...

    The only thing this Rudy drama brings, imho, is that maybe it opens an opportunity to get a better PG than the Hinrich/Miller class that we could get without moving Rudy. Either a move on Harris or Hinrich and Deng or TT combo - something like that.
