    Supposedly Quick is reporting Rudy will sit out his final years and will forfeit his money if needed?

    Isn't there an agreement that NBA teams won't poach players under contract with foreign teams and vice versa? I mean, could Rubio have gotten away with telling Barcelona "Keep your money, I'm going to go play in the NBA"?

    It is interesting that this isn't from the Spanish Media either. What a bitch!

    You would think so. Also, howcome the NBA hasn't issued a fine to Rudy during this offseason?

    Quick mentioned there were deals for Daequan Cook from the Heat or a Kirk Hinrich package from the Wiz that were turned down at the draft. More recently, the Cho turned down a Bobcats draft pick owned by the Bulls for Rudy.

    I would have taken that last deal in a second.

    I always figured that Rudy wouldn't be here long term, but I never thought it would end so badly.

    If the Blazers end up getting nothing for Rudy then Cho has some explaining to do.

    The Blazers got Frye and earlier cap space for arguably the worst contract in the NBA.

    There's been deals presented to Cho and he has reportedly turned them down because he said he could find something better. Looks like he badly misjudged the market for Rudy Fernandez.

    At least he is a young new guy like Morey!

    I'm still less than thrilled with the Cho hire.

    95.5 the game been talking about how Rudy's camp is saying the Blazers should release him other wise other foreign players won't want to play for the Blazers because how badly Rudy was handled. I don't want any more cry baby euros on this team! I would rather force Rudy to not play for any team for the next 2 years. A true player will look at this situation and see that Rudy didn't deserve a larger roll on the team and its was Rudy who was out of line.

    actually taking on Steve Francis was much worse. Frye was horrible. The earlier cap space did not help whatsoever.

    meanwhile, ZBO = NBA All-star.

    Since the ZBO trade - Teams ZBo played on reached the playoffs when he was there - 0%
    Since the ZBO trade - Portland reached the playoffs when he was not there - 66.6666%

    Yeah, well...if we had a $18 million dollar expiring contract right now, it'd be pretty sweet.
