Mavs' Rudy Fernandez to Madrid?

[Minstrel]

Oh wait! We never play Real Madrid

Schedule hasn't been released yet, has it?

and the Spanish ACB isn't comparable to the NBA.

Some people believe that it's actually a much tougher and more talented basketball league.

Actually maybe you're right, the Spanish national team did almost kick Team USA's ass. Hmmm.

i believe that would be net, and in euros, so basically around 10 million a year US, not too shabby, and as ive heard, free mansions and cars and all that jazz

More perks--1) the season is what, 30 games? 2) This causes more easy days between each game. 3) So compare salary per game to the NBA, not just salary.

They're working about as hard as a college player: 4) Little time in the weight room. 5) Shorter travel distances because each league stays inside one European country.

I think Rudy's thought process is that he is with Dallas, the NBA champions. Next year with Butler back they will be more talented than last season. Rudy has as serious opportunity to get a ring with Dallas. Many guys never get that chance. So that may be why he turned it down.

He's going to be terrific for Dallas. We're going to regret trading him to the Mavs.

Yea why the hell did we send him to the team that knocked us out of the playoff's? Serious question, what did we get in return?

lol why?

Because the Euro owns the Dollar, that we've trashed.

A PG as good as the one we traded, that also might walk after this season

I think you are right, but his defense will still be pretty bad. It is a great situation for Rudy. Cho should have traded him last offseason. Even without any good trade leverage it's not like we got anything great for him a year later. Sure we got a late 1st rounder but we then squandered that by, as MM says, trading for a less talented (Ok so MM said they were comparable, I think Andre is much better than Felton, but Felton will probably fit better on this team, so it is probably a wash), but younger PG that only has a year left on his deal. In hindsight I would have rather traded him to the East Coast for a 2nd rounder. At least then we could have given his minutes to someone else. However, if they traded him last summer for a 2nd rounder, I and a bunch of other posters would have thought Cho was a weak GM. I don't think Rudy's a bad guy, so if he has some success in Dallas I will be happy for him, but if we get ousted by Dallas again next year and Rudy's a part of their success, I will be pretty mad.

oh for fucks sake, i was the one to bring up the euro difference in the first place, and now, for no good reason at all, im being told to now convert euros back to dollars, hence the question...why?

 

[jlprk]

lol why?

Good question. On that note, why translate European articles into English?

I mean, why? Why not just stare at them, [warning: one of the worst words in the English language is coming up] uncomprehendingly?

How can we regret trading a shooter who can't shoot? The guy was fairly awful and we have Wes, Roy in whatever condition, Nic who can play some SG and a healthy Elliot Willaims who could use some minutes. No room for Rudy and I say adios and good riddance.

The Mavs use Wayne Winston's plus and minus stats, in which Rudy ranked in the Top 20 of the league last year.

He won't be missed IMO, Wayne Newton/Winston or whatever. Plus with no season very possible he's in Europe the year after next, adios Rudy.
