How? Was this some how related to some Sergio love fest that I missed reading about?

MARIS pretty much feels that the 2007-08 Blazers team had reached compositional perfection and all that was needed was to let that team bake, and Portland could have served multiple championships, piping hot.

So he takes a dim view of any of the players from that team being let go.

I think whether interest (by which I mean, serious attempts to acquire the player) is smart or stupid depends on the price involved. If the Bulls wanted Batum (as an example), not having interest in Hinrich was perfectly rational.

I'm "interested" in Aaron Brooks as a backup point guard. That interest would evaporate quickly if the cost were particularly significant.

My general philosophy on evaluating GMs/front offices is that evaluating decision-making process requires actual knowledge of what the decision-maker is thinking, what was actually available and what their constraints were. Judging without those things is largely just opinions made of nothing more substantial than air.

That doesn't mean I don't think fans can have legitimate opinions on GMs but, lacking the ability to see and therefore judge the decision-making process, I think you have to work with results over a representative sample. I personally don't think that well under one year is a representative sample for an executive, who's plans can legitimately be 2-3 years in scope.

Here we go again: Blazers and Charlotte ARE still talking. Charlotte wants Rudy Fernandez included in the deal

More from Quick:

Miller says he has informed Michael Jordan of this stance. The deal is "open in terms of multiple scenarios and ongoing dialogue"

Dear goodness if that is true just give up Rudy. Last I checked Wallace > Rudy. If Roy can stay relatively healthy we have no use for Rudy. This is why trades never get done we are only willing to give up expirings/complete scrubs (such as Babbitt), but no one of any decent value.

Oh, I did miss the part how he would not want to play for Charlotte. Hmm.
 
I say do the deal and they can flip Rudy to team he likes in another trade.
 
fuck andy miller and rudy fernandez such fucking bullshit

Did you read the follow-up tweet? Rudy would ask for a buyout to go back to Spain. While Charlotte could refuse a buyout, I don't think they have interest in a disinterested Rudy. That Rudy is a barely sufficient bench player.

I don't think it is in our hands to do the deal, I think it is in Charlotte's hands.

No kidding. This process reminds me of something...

Are you kidding me? Agents talk to these GMs/Owners all the time and if MJ was asking for Rudy to be put into the deal wouldn't it make sense for him to talk to the player's agent?

You're exasperated at me for not looking into the future to when you'd go back and edit your post?

I like it.

Regardless, if a buyout isn't granted, Rudy is contractually bound to show up, or get fined. It's just lame, because he has no say in this, but he might be becoming the reason why Portland doesn't land Crash.

Sure. All this means is that, unless Rudy has a change of heart, he's no longer an attractive asset to Charlotte in a trade. I doubt they want a resentful and disinterested Rudy.
