    In this interview it has some comments from Andre Miller and Rudy F. Rudy sounds like he wants to stay in Portland. Andre Miller sounds apathetic and hopes that if he is moved it is to a good team. "

    Here's a tidbit from the interview/article

    Great. I am so happy to hear that the 30% shooting SG wants to stay. ......

    Aren't you advocating bringing in a 25% shooting guard to replace Rudy in another thread?

    Well if he shoots 25%, he has to be more "happy" and "go lucky" than Rudy is. :NOTMARIS:

    Actually the other thread is about a small forward. He also is a career 40% shooter. In case you are bad at math, that is an upgrade from 30%.

    If he's shooting 25%, he's not going lucky very often. :NOTMARIS:

    Go lucky is much different than being lucky. It is what I describe as being happy even though you stink.

    Yes, I know. I was making a joke. But I don't see all that much value in signing a happy stinker. Rudy may or may not emerge from his shooting funk...Stackhouse never will because we don't yet have nanobots to repair cell damage in order to reverse the aging process.

    I wouldn't read anything into the comments of Miller or Rudy. Reporters keep asking players about trades and beat down their resistance.

    The two are similar verbally. Neither likes to talk, but for different reasons. So they answer what the reporter wants to hear. (The reasons are shy diffidence and foreign language.)

    Blazer fans go up or down too much over players' words.
