If Heisley lets Rudy go for nothing, I will give up. Especially if Memphis can win around 40 games this season. Rudy is the best young player on the team andI just can't see them letting him go. The only way is a sign and trade, but it would have to be a veteran player that can put this team over the hump. Idon't see Memphis getting any younger because they are already the youngest team in the league.

Heisley has kept saying for a while now that he's going to keep Rudy at all costs. Now, I don't think a team is going to throw Lebron/Wade type moneyat him.

Its only so high a team will go to bring him in. I just realized that Granger is 3 years older.

Just because you want a sign and trade, doesnt mean other teams are willingly to work one out...unless its one of those things with the RSA/UFA. *#@% alwaysconfuses me.
any team willingly to drop that much rudy better have a backup plan. the grizz are better off trading rudy before letting him go for nothing.



and please dont compare granger/Rudy. grangers been improving every year, although i still dont see him as a franchise player.

The player involved will want a sign and trade if possible, it gives them an extra year on the contract (meaning more money).

They won't have no choice. Unless Rudy wants to leave which he doesn't, he will stay a RFA meaning Memphis can match any offer. You alsohave a 5 or 6 year deal when it comes to sign and trades or just flat out signing him. Other teams can only offer him 5 years, while Memphis can offer him 6years.

And I can compare the two. I'm just saying, don't go into a debate with me about it because Granger's situation is completely different thanRudy's. Rudy has also improved every year, but he hasn't been able to put up no damn 25ppg because he has other scorers around him limiting histouches. He's also on the youngest team in the league compared to that veteran league squad Granger is on.

Four coaches in four seasons? Rudy. No, you can't blame coaching foreverything dealing with a player, but that puts a toll on a young player's development after 4 seasons. He's finally learning though. There'snothing Granger at his best can do that Rudy can't.

The only way I see Rudy bolting is to be like a Granger. Be on a team with no main go to scorers so he can put up those type of numbers. He can easily do it ifhe's the no.1 option with no other threat in the starting lineup ala Granger.

Granger is just a better bball player then Rudy gay

No Chauncey for Denver tonight.

Doesn't really make me feel any better. We got killed by Darren Collison earlier this year when CP3 was out with the ankle...

Kevin Love's rebound numbers this season:

11

13 tonight through three quarters

 

[bigmike23]

is that a white boy you and DLO can support?

 

[big j 33]

I don't think it was your intention, but the series of numbers followed by "tonight....quarters" makes a big capital L

So I'm taking that as an insult to Kevin Love

 

[dlo13]

I've never said anything bad about Love. Dude throws a mean outlet pass...

22% rebound rate puts him up there with Moses Malone.

Pistons with DaJuan in the back court. LOL. Might be the most outrageous thing I've seen yet this year.

 

[bigmike23]

Dude kinda sucks.

 

[al3xis]

If he could dribble or rebound he'd be ok.

There's a little bit of game there, but He's basically a spot shooter with a LeBron build.

 

[chris boshs neck]

Anyone see Richard Hamilton's hairline tonight? I swear dude is wearing a spray on, it magically came forward a good 4 inches from its previous position

 

[al3xis]

If the Nets had as much young talent as people say, they wouldn't have as many wins as they do losses to the Timberwolves.

Luke Walton > Kevin Love
...at being a radio commentator

 

[niketalker23]

If we had a player like Lopez we'd be an 8th seed playoff team

 

[shuges]

Bayless looking like it's summer league.

Son STAY taking it to the hoop with aggression.

 

[al3xis]

3 of those talented guys were 3/4 year college players with no upside left. 2 of which can't throw the ball in the ocean and play the same position.

To go with a score first PG and Yi. Yi is, who knows. Hardly anything impressive going on 3 years in.


Then there is Brook. Legit.

And they were healthy for both T'Wolve games. There are no excuses for 2-27.

Putting all that stored up energy on the bench to good use
