Rudy Gay tears Achilles

How old is Rudy? This could be career ending. Yikes.

 

Don't sleep. No Rudy Gay? Sacramento win streak incoming. Why blow it up? History would suggest they're a more formidable team now due to addition by subtraction.

Then again, it is Sacramento so conventional reasoning may not apply here.

 

How so? Had they already traded for him, chances are he would not have suffered the exact same injury since he would not have been in that exact same situation.

 

Last time I checked this is the GARM, not the DISH.

 

Don't text after a chili. You will regret it.

 

That sucks for literally everyone!!

I wonder if they would just agree to pay for his rehab + waive him. Even if he's waived, insurance will cover it, and what would the Kings want with half a season of an aging recovering disgruntled Rudy Gay next season? Might be better for both parties.

 

Sucks for him but great for the Rockets.

This puts an end to any slight thought they had of entertaining a Rudy gay trade. We don't need more low efficiency chuckers.

Already got Sewer who covers everything negative in basketball.

 

Maybe faster Rockets fans can talk about fake-rumored future-Rockets as well as Tracy Murray?

 

I wanted Rudy Gay for his expiring contract, iso game while Harden rests, improved 3-pt shooting,
good enough FT%, slightly better than avg defense....would have allowed Ariza to float from 2-4 positions.

His iso game is not really post up, it's more like turn and face up from about 12 ft.....easily convertible
to PnR. I wouldn't have given more than a second unless WCS was included.

Rudy achilles tear much like Bosh blood clots........bullet dodged. We move on. Oh, well.

 

Yes, Brewer is definitely a real all-round threat to our team. Whether it's 2pters, 3pters, individual defense, team defense, passing in transition, rebounds, or free throws he is kind of a jack of all trades when it comes to things you shouldn't do as a basketball player.

 

By 'our' I assume you mean the GARM. If Gay were in DM the GM's sights RG would be a Rock imo, of course.

Even workaholic Kobe had a difficult time with this injury...

 

Yep, especially after seeing the replay.

Non-contact injury? yeesh, no thanks. Good luck Sac-town

 

I always wonder with Achilles injuries if they are kind of marked for deletion and could not have been avoided either way, or if it just happened due to bad circumstances like a bad warmup, foot placement, slip, improper landing, etc.

 

Yes, they should have traded him sooner. Not just Monday morning quarterbacking. I said that
a month ago. I always felt OKC was going to trade for Rudy when the dust settled. Thunder needed
Rudy Gay. Sorry Divac....No Sabonis for you.

 

But look at the Hollingsworth analysis. That trade reduces our projected wins buy 8 games. That would ruin our season.

 

Time to make a trade for WCS. This team needs rebound, defense and size..

 

His career is probably over, pretty sad.

Calm down. We would still be sitting at .646 and the 4th seed.
