    Yes, but they had to toss in a second round pick to boot!

    Funny, we basically gave them Rudy, Faried, and Miller for Smith and Felton.

    Very interested to see how this pans out (The No GM Experiment)

    Half of Denver's team is in China, so they needed warm bodies! :)

    I just think it's hilarious how that prima donna gets traded to the defending champs and starts making minutes demands before they've even played a single game.

    I read here that the Blazers were going to rue the day that Rudy started for Dallas, and that Dallas was a perfect fit for him?

    He's an NBA afterthought, and I think it's hilarious he has to go play in Denver now for a coach that will limit his minutes even more than Nate did once he sees the "Ole" defense.

    I don't think he'll be back. I think he wants to stay in Spain.

    His contract dictates that he has one more year in the NBA. If he doesn't play here, he sits out a year.

    The report today was that he was seeking a buyout. Maybe that's why they traded him?

    Can't be true. Rudy was going to start for Dallas and be superduperawesome because Nate didn't know how to use him!!! :MARIS61::MARIS61:

    Serious question:

    Derek Anderson or Rudy Fernandez?

    If you're asking who was/is better, the answer is Derek Anderson.

    I thought the prevailing thought around here was that Rudy sucks? :dunno:

    No, he will finally get a chance in an optimum situation because McMillan is the most boring coach in the NBA, George Karl coaches fast break, and now Rudy gets to play his style.

    I think that there needs to be a distinction made between post-Ariza Rudy and the Good Rudy.

    The nail on the head.

    He's still better than what we have now though.

    At Spanish. Maybe. But HCP is up there with less of a lisp.

    That really was the turning point in his career. He went from being a fearless slasher to a guy who wouldn't leave the three point line. Reminded me a lot of Derek Anderson after Juwan Howard undercut him in the playoffs.

    I think it was the other way around. The report was that Dallas was trying to clear more cap space by moving Rudy and Brewer for nothing. Rudy got wind of it as he was waiting on Visa Issues and got pissed and asked for a buyout.
