I don't think so. Rudy just isn't a Nate player. The shitty thing is that Rudy is an asset that we squandered. He didn't fit here, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have talent.
No more Rudy running pick-and-rolls, or Andre's lobs. That's too bad. LA lost his two best alley-oop connections.
We'll see how he does in Dallas, huh? And we'll see how whatever we have as backup shooting guard does, too, huh? Ed O.
A perfect system how? To get him more open treys to either brick or pass up because he's too timid to take them? Did you watch him play at all this year?
Ed, the man shot 37% from the floor, 32% from 3, passed up painfully open looks and can't play man defense. What are we losing by trotting any NBA journeyman out there in his place? He averaged under 3PPG in the playoffs on 22% shooting. Please, tell me why I should be concerned he's gone?

Mark Stein says he goes to Denver and it is clear we switched picks with Denver; because they were consecutive picks no need to formalize, so we also lost Faried in this deal. http://twitter.com/#!/STEIN_LINE_HQ/statuses/84079412189995008
rudy was good his rookie year and has stunk since, we probably should have dealt him back then, oh well, ciao
Well a silver lining this trade guarantees not having a first round playoff exit and we pick up a lottery pick for next year! Bonus points for having to convey our 2013 lottery pick to Charlotte.
Rick Carlisle won't likely force a slashing player to be a stand and shoot player. Look at Dallas' offense and then look at Rudy playing international ball.
It might just be a jaundiced view on my part, but Miller doesn't seem very enthusiastic. I just turned on Comcast Sportsnet (channel 179 up here in Seattle) so I get to watch it. yay Ed O.
Yes, it does. We could have just drafted Smith and kept Miller. We could have then kept Hamilton. Or Rudy. Or whomever. Meh. Ed O.
i honestly don't feel the doom and gloom that you guys do...i thought it was a solid trade. the faried part sucks tho
Yeah, Smith+Miller+Hamilton I'd be much happier. Spears is on 750 right now, talking bad about Felton, saying he's not in the best shape, rubbed some people in Denver the wrong way. Basically, saying we fell flat on our face with the trade.
