I'm going to go ahead and put a big damper on this thread. [video=youtube;Ep8ewVzvld4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep8ewVzvld4[/video] For the first time since winning the #1 pick we now no longer know what the Blazers future holds for us. All of this could turn out to be one big fail.
calm down guys...if he wants out then fine, we will get something pretty nice back, and hopefully at a different position than our best player.
So basically Wendell Maxey took members of the team not knowing whether Rudy got his MRI yet to randomly suggest there are trade winds blowing and Rudy is unhappy. What fantastic sensationalism.
I don't think this is what Blazer fans need right now; bullshit speculation by fuckin' Wendell Maxey and Dwight James on which Blazers want out! What a couple of jerks!
Maxey is usually very careful about what he writes and tends to avoid sensationalism at almost all costs ... or at least he has in the past, which is part of the reason he terminated his association with Hoopsworld last year. If he's saying this much, chances are he's heard more and simply hasn't printed it because he doesn't feel comfortable going all the way. All I can say is that I wouldn't be totally surprised if Rudy wants out, and I'll happily send him on his way and hope for a real small forward or a flex 4 in the deal.
