What this all proves is the Blazers is a dysfunctional, poorly run organization. Rudy is in the right here, he sees how badly our organization is run and it comes from the top.
The Blazers are just fine with Andre Miller and Przy's expiring contracts, and didn't have to put up with Randolph for the past 3 years.
I'm surprised. 20 posts in, and nobody has proclaimed that Rudy is a budding star, or that the problems are all fabrications by the Spanish media. Maybe people are starting to open their eyes to what sort of person/player Rudy really is.
Zach was the only one that wanted Zach to play here. Rudy can whine all he wants. Doesn't mean Cho had to drop the ball and badly misjudge the market for him.
its not even a Cho thing. Its a dysfunction of the organization. they burn relationships with agents, fire GMs without explanation and players want to bail on us. all this fucked up shit in the Blazers organization isn't going to stop until Vulcan stops being weird and Larry Miller gets the step.
In regards to another thread where I made a statement about some of the Blazers issues, and was raked over the coals for......... Choo choo
I find it funny that the majority of this board was outraged that Rudy's value was possibly only a draft pick, back when it was rumored it was Toronto for a pick. Outraged that his value was so low and laughed off and said it would be fail if that is all we got for him. And now you're outraged that we didn't trade him for that and misjudged the market for him. Just sayin.
Yeah, that's why he wants to go back to Europe, he's not down with upper management. Give me a break.
OH SHIT! We lost a bench player! You know, you could always go be a fan of the Thunder. I hear it's all sunshine and rainbows over there.
Maybe he should stop playing on his computer and see what's actually going on. Cho's been hired for a month and hasn't done anything with this roster. Sadly, I'm not shocked.
If all we could have gotten for Rudy was a late first round pick, we didn't really lose much. Those can be easily acquired by making it rain on cheap ass teams during the draft. Also, I can see Allen being spiteful and essentially banning him from the NBA (by not acquiescing to his trade demands) by not trading him to another team, and forcing him to stay in Europe.
