Rudy hires a new agent

[KingSpeed]

An agent who represents players in Europe. Pissed about playing time again? Wants to go back to Spain? Did he and Patty get in a fight?

Rudy hasn't wanted to be here all year. He was ok because of Patty and playing time with Brandon out. Now he is nothing more than a 8-9 guy. I think this is to go back to Europe ASAP

I saw this on Blazers Edge, along with this comment:

Word has it that Fernandez had to send seven termination letters before one of them made it successfully inside the mailbox.

-- Ben Golliver

Now that's mean. Funny, but mean.

Moody Fernandez got his nickname somewhere, but I really doubt he changed his tune this quickly. Everyone had his back during his epic shooting slump, and through his frustrations with his own playing he never blamed anyone else. I think this is a business move more than an "I want to go back to Spain" move.

Rudy played great defense during the 4th qrt of game 4. It's funny how he really has become a much more complete player under Nate.

That said if I were him why not go back to Europe? He's going to get paid more. He's going to be the star of the Euro league. Then after 7-8 years over there he'll come back to the NBA for a couple of years to play the same roll that he does now in Portland except this team it will be for a vet team that is ready to win a championship (which could be Portland).

Maybe he is preparing for an NBA lockout.

If the NBA is shutdown, why wouldn't he want to play in Europe? Of course he does.
