    Canzano is telling Rudy to wait and see the big picture and direction of the team before getting upset, while Canzano doesn't even wait to even see if this report is exaggerated or bogus. Hypocritical.

    This can get worked out. I also don't think he's as "furious" as the source leads us to believe. I'm sure Rudy is insecure about what this signing would do to his role. That's completely understandable. And just like in any relationship, personal or professional, there are going to be times when people don't see eye to eye. The mistake is giving up or making rash decisions.

    Management, the coaching staff, and Rudy need to come together and iron this out. It'll all be good.

    I'll get off my soap box now.

    True, but I think it is easier for him to come out and say "No this is not true" than to come out and say "Yes i'm a whiney baby"

    It's most likely he isn't aware of the frenzy on Portland message boards. I'm sure Casey will address this in the next 48 hours.

    Re: Rudy Upset About Hedo?

    I disagree (so what's new?)

    Rudy has much better skills than Turkeyglue. Rudy is up & coming. Turkeyglue is on the downhill side.

    This will go down as a KP screw up.

    Re: Rudy Upset About Hedo?

    I think it will go down as a screw up when we get nothing in free agency.


    I like Rudy the player. He just happens to play the same possition as our best player. Hedo helps our team more than Rudy because he is better than what we have at his possition.

    Is there anyway this is a money thing?

    Is he looking for a big dollar extension possibly?

    Most of you know much more than I about how that works under the cap or whatever.

    But this did happen the day after LMA and Roy extension have been talked about by the team.

    Maybe he just wants to be taken care of.

    He's locked into his rookie deal for 3 more years. He can't be extended until after the 2010-11 season, and even then, he doesn't get paid on that extension until 2011-12.

    I think that the most likely scenario is that Rudy is insecure and voicing doubts...but not as furious as the report indicates.

    When this news broke Rudy was boning the hottest woman you could ever imagine and her nearly as hot friend while drinking Cristal. He's not gonna be hitting the internet when it's evening party time in Europe.

    You know I view this with skepticism. Every time the Blazers have started getting good the media has tried to rip this team apart with every tool at their disposal. It happened when Clyde was here, it happened with the Pippen team.

    I actually view Rudy and Turkoglu as compatible. There is nothing wrong with alternating posessions and attack method with those guys out on the floor. So I call bullshit.
