I would entertain trading Rudy, yes. He got hurt last night. Didn't you see him leave the game in the 4th quarter? Correct.
Man, reading Blazersedge, a good chunk of the team is injured. Rudy - Back spasms LA - Knee Joel - Back spasms GO - Inner thigh booboo Bayless - Ankle
Great, now a certain chump will start threads talking about how we have no depth and we might as well write of the season!
It's not about Rudy starting. He'll be our 6th man here, and should be, for a long time. And while I know we have players we can upgrade, I'm not in a huge rush to do it right now. We can upgrade the PG position, but with Roy, I have less of a value on the PG position as if we didn't have Roy. We'll be alright there regardless. Or, SF, and we can upgrade Batum, but most of the upgrades to Batum, or at SF are going to need more touches than Batum needs, so i don't see a huge rush to upgrade to a scorer. So then it's the bench, and he's the 6th man I want for our team.
I have been trying and trying to think of a trade that would work out for our team. But I really am having a hard time finding another player that would fit in with us for the right price and trades. It is really hard.
Yeah, Greg took a hard shot to the leg in last night's game. It scared me for a minute. But then he went ape shit on the Thuggets and I forgot about it.
Having watched zero games so far (thanks Comcast!) I'm not sure we can say anything at all about how "well" he's passing, for all we know he's passing the rock but teammates aren't converting ... or maybe he isn't passing well ... the point being most of us haven't seen him play. I stumbled across this article at Oregonlive a few moments ago and from what I can gather he's playing better and more within the flow of the offense and providing meaningful contributions at the defensive end too. http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2009/10/blazers_jerryd_bayless_takes_p.html Who knows though, it's all just hearsay and commentary at this point; I need to see it to believe it.
