    I imagine he'll head back to Europe. He's like Claver: he can play, but he's lacking some key NBA feature. Getting practically no minutes on the Greek team in Eurobasket probably killed his NBA career.

    I think being a legend in Greek basketball and playing and living well there might seem better than sitting on a bench in Denver or Houston

    Denver also ruined Rudy, and probably had something to do with Sergio if we examine closely. Nikoloz Tskitishvill, Linas Kleiza, Steve Blake, Birdman Anderson. Not to mention J.J. Hickson and Andre Miller, and especially Taurean Green.

    Yes he did. Rudy was never the same.

    True, but well before the Ariza incident, Trudy was still a soft bitch. Afraid of contact. Always doing that ridiculous, ineffective spin fade away jumper. I think I remember him hitting it once. Without Sergio he was largely ineffective. Sure he could shoot his rookie season. But damn near every Euro can shoot. I for one (especially after demanding a trade) was glad to see his soft ass go away...

    We've all seen that. It's only proof that The Sun will shine on a dogs ass. He didn't do shit like that in Portland. Show the myriad of spin around fade away jump shots that he bricked over and over.

    I wonder if the Bulls will give him a training camp invite now Dunleavy's out for a while with back surgery.

    I watched every single one of those dunks as it happened. You posting that just proved my point. Every single one of those dunks was on a pass from Sergio. Every single one. None of them had any contact from any defensive player. I love that play to be honest. But it confirms my point that he could not do it without Sergio and that he is soft because there was never a dunk on anyone. If you're 6'5 you better damn well be able to do that shit when you're wide open.

    True dat. They're going to need somebody to play D, though (dunno if that's KP).

    Actually that is incorrect. #6 was from Blake. I understand the confusion though since they are both white looking and all.
