Bum Phillips had a saying when he was talking about another coach that he thought was real good. "He can take hiz'n and beat your'n, or he can take your'n and beat hiz'n." Alot of people refuse to believe that Rudy has done anything but a great job and is the victim of injuries this year. If Rudy is a very good coach, ( and I believe he is ), then he should be able to take other players and win with them. For example, is he better than John Lucas? Could he have gotten more wins out of the Cavs? There are five other young teams with bad records. Which ones, if any, would you trade entire rosters with? I think more than just Rudy supporters would consider this. Here are the teams with some key young players listed: Bulls: Curry Chandler Hassell Crawford Rose Fizer Artest Miller Guyton Cavs: Miller Murray Davis Diop Mihm Person Ilgauskas Jumain Jones Grizzlies: Gasol Williams Battier Swift Dickerson (injured) Rodney Buford Lorenzen Wright Clippers: Olowakandi Brand Miles Richardson Magette Mcginnis Earl Boykins? Dooling Odom (injured) Golden State: Jamison Hughes Foyle/Dampier Richardson Murphy Arenas Assuming no injuries, which of these teams would you trade entire rosters with. Which one or ones could Rudy take and make a contender out of?
Clipps for sure...possibly even Memphis...imagine if steve stayed at memphis (vancouver) they would look like this: pg bibby sg stevie sf battier pf gasol/rahim c lo wright
