    Wait!! I thought Portland got fleeced and that Rooty Tooty was going to be the starter in Dallas for the rest of the decade?

    And if he plays well, Cuban will have no problem with buying out his contract, which may even have a clause in it for just that purpose.

    I hadn't thought of that. Cuban of all people might do that.

    It's sad because unlike Sergio, Rudy got the perfect post-Blazer setup. The champ team needs a starting SG. Sergio walked into surging guard depth in Sacramento. But in Dallas, they expected Rudy to start.

    It may take Rudy a couple of years to shake off McMillan's prison system from inside his head. He has to relearn how to be free as a bird.

    I'd once again like to say "fuck you" to Trevor Ariza. Rudy was never the same.

    NBA teams can only contribute $500k towards a buyout, so unless Rudy's new contract has him making $125k per year Cuban won't be able to buy him out.
