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"?
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.
what a little bitch.... now we are basically going to get nothing for him im guessing? i bet boston and chicago would still like to have him tho....and its also nice to see that jason quick isnt stuck under a rock and actually came out with some decent news
yet when we got less than nothing for ZBO, people praised Pritchard. hell, at least ZBO would have reported to camp.
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%
