    If you are watching the Vegas game, they were talking about Rudy not being able to create his own shot. When they were talking about him they were talking like he was already gone. It was an interesting tone to the conversation.

    It's like the worst kept secret in the world that Rudy is gone except for the formality of trading him for a second round pick or releasing him from his contract so he can go back to Spain and play for Real Madrid.

    Hopefully they don't trade him for a second round pick. Either get quality in return or release him. I am assuming if we release him we keep his rights. I don't want him back in the league without compensation.

    Very sad as i enjoy watching him play.

    If they release him, they relinquish his rights. If they keep him on the roster until his contract runs out and he bolts for Europe, they retain his rights, similarly to how ATL has Josh Childress' rights while he plays in Greece.

    I too would rather see Rudy in Europe and not on another NBA team where he can turn into a star.

    Armon is probably not going to make the team unless we make a move involving Bayless and/or Rudy.

    Rudy IS gone. He wants to be gone, and so does Nate. Miller and Bayless are probably gone as well.

    The "Mikes"?

    Was there a different broadcast than the NBAtv one? Because it wasn't broadcast by M&M on the one I saw.

    I agree our Spaniard ratio is way out of whack.

    Maybe Roy for Rodrigue Beabois or is he French or something? Damn Europeans and their 1000's of years of cultural history. Why can't they just join us in consumer "culture" and the 21st century. They always want to have art, and sense of history and stuff.

    To answer the Jprlk's question, I'd say Miller, Joel, Rudy and possibly Bayless are all gone. Possibly with Batum as well IF we get a star in return. I could also send Pendergraph and/or Cunningham going in a blockbuster trade as filler.

    Johnson and Williams along with (Wesley) Johnson I think will make the roster after trades. That guy who played big today Ebweke or whatever, sounds like he might be worth a look as well.

    For Miller to be going anywhere, it would have to be a block buster for a PG. So I don't see that happening. Realisticly how many PG's are available that would put us over the hump? Are we still talking Parker, Paul, and Harris? or is there another option?
