Rudy would you just shut up!

[BGrantFan]

Rudy was the future in 2008-09. He's a negative in 2009-10, even though he had a higher regular season and playoff PER than his 9x salary replacement, Wes(ley) Matthews.

This community makes me laugh at times. Who will be the next scapegoat?

Also, FWIW, from realgm...

Other good ones:

You have to wonder if this kid was promised somethings by the Blazer FO for him to come to Portland at the expense of sacrificing millions of dollars per year. He is probably feeling lied to and ripped off. People tend to forget this point. He came here losing out on millions of dollars. How many players do that?

Rudy's game depends on teammates creating opportunities for outside shots. Miller didn't do as much for Rudy as Roy and Blake did. Miller would rather ignore Rudy on the 3-pt line with a wide open 3 in order to give the ball to LMA for a fade away 18-footer. I'm not trying to dump on Miller. There is nothing wrong with giving priority to passing the ball inside. I'm just pointing out that Rudy's opportunities changed last year.

Please trade him. He lost me during the playoffs.

Andre Miller? I know he's your personal favorite.

Did you watch the playoffs?

Seriously.

Rudy was horrible, horrible, horrible defensively. Defense doesn't compute into PER.

Rudy had one good game where he finally found his shot - a game that was long out of reach. Stat padding during garbage time is not helpful PER.

Rudy was horrible, Mathews was merely bad.

I don't know if a guy who plays just poorly is worth 9 times what a guy who played terrible is worth.

Smoke = Fire

Rudy = Bitch

good grief... spanish tabloid known for BS + NY rumor mill = nothing I'm going to hang my hat on, especially since there is no pressing need to know in the middle of the summer

others can believe whatever they want based on whatever evidence they see fit. They can call players and management whatever clever names they want... so what? Just don't get upset others voice that they'd like confirmation from something other then a joke of a source

How old is Rudy and how much experience does he have in big games? You think he has big upside?
