    What this really means is no Euro team is going to overpay for RootyTooty, and his agent is laughably trying to give him some leverage.

    I have nothing to say on this - I just don't want papa to get five straight posts in on any one thread. #cockblock

    This gives him time to grow back his beard. Stotts will be gone and some new slow coach will be here, and Rudy won't come to a small market anyway.

    So what did Real Madrid do to piss him off? Is the money drying up in Spain?

    I don't see where anything in the article suggests in any way that he's unhappy in Spain. I read it as basically saying that he thinks he's good enough to play in the NBA, but that his body was unable to take the strain of 82 games per year against the best players in the world. He thrives in a lighter schedule against lighter competition, but he's just not strong enough for the American game.

    There is still the possibility that Fernandez, a passionate music fan who has dreams of becoming a DJ, will have another go at cracking the NBA -- if his body can withstand the strain.

    "Who knows in two years, three years, I could back to the NBA if I start to feel better about my back."

    First of all I doubt Rudy would come back here, there were a lot of bridges burned. Secondly did everyone forget what a tool he was when things weren't going his way? Good riddence, we can find someone else to brick a bunch of threes for us.

    Yeah Rudy coming off the bench slicing in for a rebound, whipping passes about on the break and running a real pick n roll with Lamarcus would be far better than what we get now.

    Did you notice the bench scored 8 points last night? Well anyway, Stotts ball would fit Rudy just fine and the other way around too I think.

    I would be all for Rudy coming back. He would be a perfect backup guard and have the court awareness to keep the defense guessing.

    I'd bring back Rudy in a heartbeat. Even quicker if we could get Patty Mills, too.

    Kinda ironic really. They are kinda exactly what we need coming off the bench. We had a real shot at getting mills last season. Our gm-less team dropped the ball in that regard

    OK. He can't do worse that what we've got coming off the bench now.

    I'll let MM tell it again if he wants. It was a pretty crappy deal for a guy who was doing his best to make a difference in some young people's lives and walked the walk. I'd be pissed off at the world, too.
