Rudy Fernandez Hurt By Blazers’ Hedo Courtship
Hurt enough to possibly return to Europe: “Portland’s pursuit of a certain player from Turkey has infuriated the Trail Blazers’ lone remaining Spanish player, Rudy Fernandez, to the point where he’d prefer to play in Greece, Russia or even Spain again. A league source told ESPN.com that Fernandez has already been courted informally by European powerhouses Olympiacos, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and CSKA Moscow as word spread that the Blazers had become the apparent front-runners to land free agent Hedo Turkoglu. Fernandez, who paid more than $500,000 of his own money to buy his way out of his contract with DKV Joventut, believes he can earn 5 million euros per season if he signs a three-year contract in Europe. He is due to make $1.1 million from the Blazers next season.”

and to be honest here. Hedo would not make us a top team.
my idea’s for this blazer team is to trade Outlaw and Blake for tayshaun.
We need an offball players at the point guard position and Small Forward.
people to compliment the big (medium 3).
than pick up Kirk our Bibby to play point. and antonio mcdyse to backup l.a.
(free agent point) bayless
broy-rudy (webster)
tayshuan-batum (webster)
Lamarcus-mcdyse
oden-joel
also trade joel for chandler. and pick up kirk or bibby and or trade for mcdyse. and than maybe get hedo at the small forward.
so be like
bibby or kirk. blake
brandon roy
hedo
amare
oden.
like turn into an amazing offencsive power house.
cause i honestly dont see lamarcus’s ceiling being that hight. honestly.
amare you kno is a 20-10 guy.
and he never had to play D. but his body size, strenght, and speed is perfect. a guy like mcmillan can teach him to play D. i see it.
But this idea is h3lla iffy to me.
i dont like Hedo that much at all. i dont.
i rather have a pass first point, (j-kidd) a vet to teach bayless to be a great prospect, and a non ball hog sf to compliment roy and lamarcus.
and joel and steve are the ‘father’ type players these young guys need.
i think the blazers are ‘pretending’ to have intrest in players like hedo and ariza so other teams can make runs at them with more money. cause only limited teams have money.
so after they ‘waste’ money on players the players left (which we need mostley) we can pay for them cheaper without worrying about other teams making higher bids.
smart i think.
i hope K-P is doing that.
i hate hedo.. almost more than dirk.
