    He's going to get to play more - this team is in desperate need of offense. Frankly with him out tonight, we had nobody on the perimeter to worry about (unless you count Martell) which is devastating when you don't have a post presence either!

    We need to score more points - Rudy can help with that.

    I bet he's a lot more unhappy with the state of his back. He wasn't given minutes last year, he earned them and did a lot with them. This year in preseason Nate spoke to wanting to put the ball in his hands a lot more and allowing him to be one of the team's main creators. Unfortunately he has been noticeably less effective this season with reports of back issues dating back to the preseason.

    But please don't let me detour your latest waaaah fest with more reasonable speculations.

    Well, now it seems that you are also speculating (in thinking Maxey has heard more); I'm just saying that at difficult times like these, correspondents need to be really careful what they are throwing out there.

    I'm just talking about Maxey's track record which has been pretty stellar in the 2 or 3 years I've been reading his articles and blog posts. As for the story above he really only seems to be suggesting that this kind of thing will fuel speculation about Rudy, not that there is any kind of imminent trade, or big rift.

    Doesn't the discrepancy seem just a little odd though?

    I don't really see any discrepancy. I'm not surprised that the substitute coach, with all he is trying to figure out, doesn't know what is going on. I'm also not surprised that KP, with all he has on his mind right now, doesn't know if Rudy had an MRI or not. I don't think there is a story here and it shouldn't have been written.

    Rudy has chronic back problems vs Rudy is a malcontent who wants out.

    Is there a *good* option here?

    Yes, there is.
    Rudy knows a secret Spanish cure for broken kneecaps, and he's in Portland tending to Oden right now. That's why he missed the trip and why no one knows about his MRI.

    I'd rather he just deposited his salary directly into my bank account.

    But yours is good, too.

    This just keeps getting better.

    I wonder how long he will be shelved.

    they are saying most feel relief the next day. It does not sound like this will take long to heal. now we know why there was a weird feeling surrounding rudy and the lack of information.
