    2-3 players worth an NBA contract, and Maccabi Tel Aviv plays zone almost exclusively.

    Bottom line, I'd welcome Sergio back with open arms.

    Rudy? Probably not. Too many burned bridges.

    There has been many players pass through Portland that were not a good fit with McMillan.
    But I am not sure that is the best way to say it, damn few player played winning ball with McMillan.

    You like to repeat yourself in each thread, to give the illusion that you represent the crowd. Sergio arrived in the last third of the season to a .354 team with a set roster. D'Antoni tried him in limited minutes but didn't care. The season was over.

    Among all-time NBA rookies:

    Sergio #4 in assist %
    http://bkref.com/tiny/ALkuf

    Sergio #10 in assists per minute
    http://bkref.com/tiny/EtEo9

    Sergio #24 among Blazers in PER
    http://bkref.com/tiny/f2a6k

    Rudy #2 in 3 pointers made per minute
    (#1 if minimum minutes are 900, but I wanted to show that Korver’s his only competition)
    http://bkref.com/tiny/Vg725

    Rudy was all-time #1 in 3 pointers made, till the record was broken a year later (but not broken per minute)
    http://bkref.com/tiny/wJJRM

    Rudy #13 in true shooting %
    http://bkref.com/tiny/1fsyr

    Rudy #6 in effective FG%
    http://bkref.com/tiny/eEYtX

    Rudy #7 among Blazers in PER
    http://bkref.com/tiny/GUDS7

    I could go on and on…the NBA made them get worse every year.

    He talked shit about the city and was actually boo'd by the crowd next game if I remember right. Patty actually turned him back into a decent person but he had already pissed off the staff.

    Since no one else remembers this, can you find a link? He just said that he wanted to return to Europe. It was obvious to him and everyone that he was sinking to the bottom of McMillan's rotation. No one could understand why the team wasn't trading him in the summer after his 2nd year when he still had value.

    Rudy has one major hole in his game, though: he can't make a 2-point shot.
    His only points in the game that weren't 3s or FTs came on a put-back dunk.

    Good to see Baby Shaq win a title. Who's Tyrese Rice?

    This was good for: David Blatt, who should finally get serious consideration for an NBA coaching job
    Bad for: the Bulls. Their guy Mirotic (who still should've been drafted over Nolan) was pretty quiet in the biggest game of the year.

    Boxscore

    I can't imagine that Sergio or Rudy would ever consider coming back here even if they were asked, so let's just think of them as ex-Blazers who gave us some nice moments, shall we? Soon to be joined by Claver, only minus the moments.

    You mean, like Arvydas Sabonis (Real Madrid, 1992-95)?

    Sabonis was good before he went to Spain, made his name before he played in Spain, and wasn't known because he went to Spain.

    Rice is very much like Ty Lawson. Alex Tyus is also a very nice player, a very mobile, athletic big.

    Blatt is reportedly considering an offer from CSKA. He's a very good coach, one of the best in Europe and he's from the US but I'm not sure if an NBA team would be a good place for him. He likes to build a team every year, always gets criticized for having a weak roster, etc, than have them come together at the right time and surprise everyone.
