That MS Excel isn't going to talk on its own! letting Rudy walk for nothing...is probably preferable than dumping Rudy for.....nothing.
I know right, it only takes me a couple of emails to get a trade done with my fantasy team! What's the hold up.
I don't think anyone is upset over losing Rudy. I think what people are upset abou tis that he supposedly requested a trade last December, and KP did nothing. Now it has gotten to the point where we really won't get anything for him. That's a little upsetting
Honestly, I'm kind of glad he hasn't yet. Not because I think the roster is fine as-is, but because with him being a fresh GM, his colleagues are likely trying to rob us blind.
If you hadn't noticed, we recently fired our GM who was regarded as one of the TOPS in the league without reason for a suckier version of this GM's assistant (Penn). On the shit list with a few agents now. Blazers becoming increasingly harder to deal with. Zero leverage in trades.
And yet, when healthy, we are one of the top teams in the league. That doesn't scream "falling apart" to me.
Losing assets for nothing does not help. Neither does getting rid of competently performing general managers and sticking in someone green in there to replace them.
There isn't one.The fact that now Rudy and his agent have gone public saying they won't report is just 1 of the things that could mushroom here in Portland. Falling apart is too strong, as well. Potential train wreck, which I said, is closer
Let me recap. Everything is fine. Don't believe everything you hear. We like our team. Rudy is an important piece for our success, and we hope to make that clear to him.
