Blazers Want Value for Fernandez

[Hunter]

It's been known for quite some time that Rudy Fernandez isn't a happy camper in Portland.

And the Blazers appear to be working on his ticket out of town.

Tweets Brian T. Smith of the Columbian on Wednesday afternoon: "Blazers are actively pursuing trade for Fernandez. Team is willing to keep Fernandez, though, and will not give him away for 'free.'"

The Kings are looking for guards with a penchant for shooting, so that could be a possible landing spot for Fernandez.

One other team that makes sense? The Hornets.

ESPN's John Hollinger has the reasons why:

"Gotta wonder if new Hornets GM Dell Demps' first order of business will be trying to trade for Rudy Fernandez. Team needs a 2 and shooters. I have no inside info on that one, just wondering out loud. Makes too much sense."

Hmmm I guess he isn't impressed with Thornton aye?

The Hornets have no one we want. NO ONE.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Great.

Dude, you should do some research. LOL

Most people forget that Peja is on the Hornets.

NOBODY

Yea, I mean, why would we ever want Chris Paul or Darren Collison?

It was brought up on today's W@W show that Ronny Turiaf might be good value for Rudy...........although, the salaries don't match.

OK, here's ABM's wacky trade-o-the day!

Thornton's more a scorer than a shooter.

I'd take Ronnie in a heartbeat.

 

[EGame]

Good luck with that, Portland.

He has a scorers mentality, but you want that from your SG do you not? They call it shooting guard for a reason! For a "scorer" he has a pretty efficient stat line. .450 is pretty damn efficient for a guard, and his .374 from 3 point land isn't bad either, especially for a rookie. I think they have more concerns about his ability to play D.

...or future picks.

I sure hope that the Blazers are able to get some sort of value for Fernandez, but with his moaning, i don't know how many teams would want him if they aren't one of the few he listed. Why trade for a player that is just going to piss and moan or perhaps sit out.

by the way, here is my new vid of Rudy Fernandez demanding a trade from Larry Miller

what sort of world do we live in where there is a limit on how much you can praise/rep GOD?

[Luther]

Best realistic trade I've seen on here in a long time.

thank you my son

I like that trade a lot. With Jason Thompson as their future at the 4 spot and Sacto's need for shooting I could see something like this going down. Not sure where Cunningham would find minutes in the rotation though.

Well, and they have Cousins. That's really why I think they might do it.

I think they're grooming Cousins to play the 5.

That's 2 questions, with 2 different answers.

One we would, one we wouldn't.

 

[Idog1976]

Most people forget that Peja is on the Hornets.

That's a good point, I heard from a basketball expert on this very site that he is better then Batum!

 

[MARIS61]

I would do that.

But I would expect both Rudy and Jerryd to pretty much refuse to sit on Sac's bench and Sac has no use for either of them.

...I like this, a lot!

For good reason, it's fairly lopsided! I can't imagine Kings fans liking this, but if they did, I'd sign in a NY minute!

Wow, Carl Landry makes $3 million. Best value in the NBA by far. (off the top of my head)
