    Rudy is not remotely close to manu.

    Are you kidding me? Adelman will love Rudy! Why? Because he's exactly a RA type of player. As i've mentioned, his game is tailor-made for Adelman's system. Actually, other players' minutes would be reduced once Fernandez becomes a Rocket. Write.That.Down.

    Don't understand the obsession with Fernandez.

    Can't base our opinion of another player from the actions of their team. Case and point, Scola and the Spurs.

    No we have enough scoring, we D to win championships. Kobe shot 6 - 24 in the 7th game and the Laker's won. Please stop with non D players. We will need stops to get into the conference finals and possible finals.

    I love a fresh Ariza, Shane, guarding Wade and Lebron. I'm not as worried about Bosh. Same thing for Boston with Ariza and Shane on Pierce and Allen.

    I'm more for moving Jeffries, Anderson, and JT to obtain another big to combat the Lakers and guard the rim

    Think about Rudy's strengths + Adelman's system

    Yep. *light bulb*

    Getting Rudy for a pick? Sure - if he'll re-up after the season, lock-out and all that.

    Oh, and whom do you cut to keep (real) roster at 15?

    Actually him and Chase would be fighting for backup 2 minutes.

    Rudy won't like the minutes he gets here either. He wants to be a starter. Already.Wrote.That.Down.

    That was a frustration foul on Ariza. Down +20 and we've seen Ariza lose his temper already. He had at least 1 similar occurrence in LA besides that one.

    And the Jazz acquires Rudy and kills us with a clutch 3. Classic.

    I hope you are aware the two situations could not be more different

    so next time a team starts punking us and decides no to slow it down because the game is won we should just let them keep pouring it on?


    I swear these newbies need to watch a season of 80's B-Ball.

    I love Rudy and he would be a great back up for Kevin Martin. I would love a second unit of Lowry, Rudy and Chase, would be a lot of fun to watch. Martin is bound to injure himself so Rudy could be good insurance for whenever that happens.

    Here this goes again.....

    Only if he can be had for cheap, which I don't believe he can.

    He's not better than Chase. End of story.

    As a 6th man, fine. I'll give them Jared for him.

    As long as it's not Rudy Gay. I'm not a big Gay guy.

    Another good point. I'll leave it to Morey since he's also high on Ruuudy!

    OK, you've made that clear. Now tell us how you feel about Head.

    Luther can still shoot 3's and provide instant offense. So...

    I wouldn't mind some Head. Could be useful in case of a dry spell.

    My problem with Luther has always been that he just did not have the size to really battle at the 2.

    If Luther was a legit 6'5, with the hops that he has but for some reason seldom uses he would be a really solid backup \ borderline starter.
