Re: Rudy wants a bigger roll "As a rookie for the Trail Blazers last season, Fernández averaged 10.4 points in 25.6 minutes per game, largely as a reserve. This year it seems he will get his wish for more playing time and a bigger role, as the Blazers traded fellow Spaniard Sergio Rodriguez to the Sacramento Kings to open up more time for both Fernández and Jerryd Bayless. Training camp should be incredibly competitive in Portland, as both of these young men show enormous potential as future NBA stars. The time is now for the Blazers after several years of talk about their potential. Rudy Fernández could be a big part of their quest for Western Conference supremacy." -Apparently they forgot that the Blazers signed Andre Miller...
Re: Rudy wants a bigger roll nice to see Rudy picking up sergios spot on the roster. B!tching... Who does Rudy expect to start over? If anything hes gonna play less with miller. I mean unless roy plays sg and rudy plays sf.... his minutes are gonna drop. can we trade him for Kevin Martin? Reunite him and sergio so we dont have to listen to him bitch all year
Re: Rudy wants a bigger roll This is a classic case of team goals and individual player goals diverging. I don't blame Rudy for wanting to play more. If he is going to grow into a serious player in the NBA he needs the playing time...but how in the world is he going to get more the 25 min./game on this team...unless.....I can't even type what I was thinking...
Re: Rudy wants a bigger roll FUCK............. I SPELLED ROLE WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO AHEAD, LET ME HAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Rudy wants a bigger roll Here are some other rolls... perhaps Rudy should eat more if he wants these?
Re: Rudy wants a bigger roll Actually you spelled roll correctly. You just used the wrong roll in your post. Congrats, you just Rick Role'd yourself! [video=youtube;Yu_moia-oVI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI[/video]
Re: Rudy wants a bigger roll until he learns to play better defense, and isnt one dimensional on offense....then i think he should get a bigger role
Re: Rudy wants a bigger roll hey rudy.... shut up. other then make threes last year... you were not that impressive
Re: Rudy wants a bigger roll Jackie Chan ftw. No but seriously, he's gotta show more than 3's and alley oops to get a bigger role in Nate's system. This, to me, means one of two things: Outlaw needs to be traded to give Rudy some more minutes and more time to show if he's got the stuff... or Rudy is ultimately not destined to remain on the team. Thoughts?
Re: Rudy wants a bigger roll rudy is stuck behind brandon, unless one of them plays the point full time, its hard to see him getting much more burn.
Re: Rudy wants a bigger roll Rudy will ultimately want to be traded. He is going to want to start. I can already see that. Rudy would be great if he wasn't behind one of the best shooting guards in the game. Realistically, I could see us trading him and a combination of other players for a long term answer at point guard.
Re: Rudy wants a bigger roll or maybe he has a future at Lambert's, home of the "throwed roll" [video=youtube;amXZKTDLMIY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amXZKTDLMIY[/video]
