We need a "Blazers Snopes" thread

You know the www.snopes.com web site, where they debunk urban myths and rumors?

We need a Blazers Snopes thread.

We have had 5 page at least on a rumor that Rudy was threatening to quit over Turkoglu; now it appears that was not true. We had pages over Greg Oden being lazy for spending the summer in Ohio and it appears that is not true. Not to mention all the trade/FA rumors, most of which seem to be invented on someone's blog or message board.

Rudy will never be happy playing here for Nate, nor will any other highly creative athlete.

Haven't you ever had a boss who you knew more than, or knew better than? Most people don't like that situation and move on to a better run workplace.

Answer to the second part of your question is yes. Although I don't, unless the "boss" is truly incompetent, decide I know more when I am a new employee in a new company in a new city with new colleagues.

But the first part is pure speculation piled on pure speculation. We have yet to hear from Rudy that he is unhappy. We have yet to hear from any NBA player that they did not like Nate because he limited their creativity. We have yet to see the player(s) who left a Nate-coached team and became creative geniuses elsewhere (Sebastian Telfair? Zach Randolph? Sergei Monia? Juan Dixon? Ike Diogu? I don't think so!)
