Both Adam Morrison (for Red Star Belgrade) and Kyle Singler (for Lucentum Alicante of Spain) have been playing very well during the lockout. Singler has used his surprising success to upgrade his Spanish Team: Real Madrid has just signed him away from Alicante to fill Rudy's spot. Smart kid, smart move. (Ironically, his NBA team, the Pistons, isn't really pleased. Both their SFs, Prince and T-Mac are UFAs and they could have used him. But they can't offer as much money or PT as Real Madrid.)
Meanwhile, Ammo has decided that he's recovered his mojo and has dumped Red Star to come back to the NBA, presumably waiting with open arms! Now, maybe I'm wrong, and he'll land a nice contract... but somehow I doubt it. He wasn't playing any better for Red Star than he did when he was the featured player for the Lakers' Summer League team. That's what he does: score in bunches when he's the focus of the offense. But that's not going to happen in the NBA, and he's worse than useless at all other aspects of the game (unlike Singler), and I think the NBA has worked that out.
(In all probability Rudy and Singler will swap places again next year, as Rudy comes back to Real, and Singler comes over to the Pistons.)
