Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Knicks Still Pushing For Fernandez



I'm sure someone had posted something of this nature a couple of months back but we are still going after Rudy Fernandez.

The Bulls, Celtics and Knicks have engaged in trade talks with the Blazers regarding swingman Rudy Fernandez, according to a report.

The Oregonian first reported the interested parties, citing Fernandez's agent, Andy Miller.

He is the Shooting Guard that we have been asking for but is he what the fans want? He shoots 38.7 percent from behind the line for his career (2 Years)  which was news to me. People are automatically including Wilson Chandler in the trade talk but as far as I'm concerned his name has never been mentioned. I couldn't find any trade proposals that the Knicks made to them so if anyone can share a link of any proposals that would be much appreciated. As you can see Here the Chicago Bulls offered James Johnson and their 2009 First Round Pick for quite some time but the Trailblazers never showed interest. What will we realistically have to part with to land Rudy? I'm all for bringing him here... At the right price.

Yes.

Rudy is a good player that’s misused a bit in Portland. He’s a good 3pt shooter, but he’s more then that and was for a number of years in Spain. On offense he could be exactly what we want as a 2-guard, tho his defense isn’t gonna exactly help a lot…tho I’d assume we’d really not care. He could be our Jason Richardson-lite 2-guard. Plus Bookie can man the bench anyway for D.

The problem lies in the trade. Portland wants Gallo for Rudy…and well…I’d want to trade Eddy Curry for Pau Gasol too, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna get it.

Chandler’s little arrest may be what’s killing that deal, as for some reason it translates to a Jail Blazer type dude…which pretty sure we all know that Chandler is not that sort of dude.

As one final move for Donnie to make, I’d really hope they can somehow pull this off.

There’s absolutely no leverage for Portland in this case since they already have Brandon Roy and also signed Wes matthews to a big deal, so they’re gonna want to deal him. Also the Celtics really don’t have room. N8 is probably the only bait, but he makes $4mil, so the Blazers would have to add something they don’t want to.

And as for the Bulls…is James Johnson > Wilson Chandler? The first rounder their adding is gonna be low, so is that a big deal?

yeah let's do this

Fernandez would kill in this offense. Any team that tried to collapse on Amar’e would just get smoked with him and Gallo spreading the floor. Moreover Rudy can slash, run, dunk on Dwight Howard, has a great handle… and to be perfectly honest, he’s at least as competent at PG as Toney Douglas is at this point. Plus he is super cheap.

I like Wilson Chandler well enough but if push came to shove I’d trade him straight up for Rudy. We have more than enough SFs on this squad already, but a sweet-shooting 6’6" combo guard is just what the doctor ordered, especially if we keep Azubuike so we can turn up the volume on D when need be. Chandler just doesn’t have the handle, the court awareness or the range on his jumper to start at 2 and he’ll have a NINE million dollar cap hold at the end of the season so he’s probably outta here anyway. He’s a better defender than Fernandez, yes, but let’s be real, he’s not Ron Artest or anything. I think part of that reputation comes from the fact that he was one of the few Knicks last year that gave a shit.

Anything more than Chandler’s not worth it though. I’d rather a package like Walker, some cash, and a second rounder or get a third team involved that’s willing to part with a first round pick. Unless another team steps in to make a play for Fernandez (and why would the Bulls do that, they just signed 2 SGs?) in I think we can wait a little while for the reality to sink in over in Portland that Fernandez will just go back to Spain rather than ride the pine behind Brandon Roy (and now, Wes Mathews) for another year.

F--- that noise

Am I really the only no? Although I probably do feel “depends” but that idepends, I’m all for it if we can get him for Gallo…juggling at a future Blazers company function. I am not a big fan of Rudy and I think he will sap minutes from the guys we have, so even straight up for Wil I don’t want to do it. As time has gone on I have become more psyched about seeing bukie play, lets go to war with what we have

I think The Don is

Pushing for this to appease us. Fans know we need a SG and I don’t have any problems with Rudy besides his commitment to the NBA and his body mass. Dude is skinny. I’m just hoping Donnie doesn’t allow us to get raped in the deal if it does happen. Lets keep it simple. No crazy stuff.

I'm down.

I love Fernadez’s game and think he would kill in a D’Antoni offense.

But I don’t see a good fit on their end. Fernandez is crazy cheap, so I’m not quite sure what they expect in return. Another cheap, but better guy? Do they exist? Fernandez is on the books for only 1.2 mill.

well what are they doing with Rudy?

Wes Matthews should be the first SG/SF off the bench now, with all the money they gave him (for whatever reason…). They made a draft trade for Luke Babbitt, who’s a 3pt specialist type SF.

Every move they make seems to push him further down the bench and out of the rotation..which I’d think is why he wants to leave anyway.

by FreeBradshaw on Jul 28, 2010 2:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't get it

Personally, I think that some combo of Kellena / Bully / Toney / Chandler at the 2 is a better fit for us. I understand that Rudy is a good shooter and a good passer, but he can’t play D much. Who sits if the Knicks get him? I just don’t understand what the huge appeal is. Even if Azubuike is not 100% at the beginning of the season, we have Toney and Chandler there. Now, Chandler may have trouble guarding some 2’s, but he creates a huge mismatch on the other end. And though he’s not a great 3 point shooter, he’s not absolutely awful either, and his shooting percentage from inside the arc is awesome.

Plus the guy has never really been given a chance to develop in Portland. Outside of the Blazers Ive only seen him in the Olympics, and that was a completely different player than the Rudy who is on the Blazers now.

Plus

Chandler’s trade value is low right now because he’s been hurt and because of the pot thing. So if they don’t want Chandler, who else are we going to give them? Toney? Uh, no thanks. I prefer the D. Bully? Doubt that would be enough, though I’d make that trade. Rautins or Fields? Dangerous move – hard to know if it’s worth it.

by fuhry on Jul 28, 2010 2:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

Maybe I wouldn't trade Bully for him

Bully was an efficient player last year that took the shots that came to him within the offense and didn’t force stuff. And didn’t complain either.

Plus, he’s Bully. We want him on the team when we face Miami.

by fuhry on Jul 28, 2010 2:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

Rudy can handle the rock

like…PG caliber handles. That’s a big difference with him vs. Bookie/Walker/Chandler.

Bookie from what I’ve seen is a spot up 3pt shooter and Defender. Walker is a 3pt marksman, but can slash if need be. Chandler is more of a 3 that’s good inside the arc.

But Rudy is a playmaker. He’s probably more like Walker at defense, but I’d think he’s a lot more complete on the offensive end then any of these guys. That’s one of his problems in Portland, he’s merely slot in as a 3pt specialist, but really he’s more then that. At least from what I saw in video from his international games.

Yea yo

That dunk and the one from the dunk contest that he got jobbed on. That shit makes me understand why he’s frustrated that Portland wants him to be a spot-up shooter. Dude is athletic, fearless, and pretty versatile with the ball. I can see why D’Antoni wants him so bad. He really seems like the missing link in that starting line-up.

word.

His D would be problematic…but couldn’t this dude be a lot like Felton in that he’s playing in an offense that doesn’t use his talents correctly? I dunno what sort of O they run, but well..the word I see is he’s used as a 3pt shooter, and with Roy and Aldridge I would think that the Blazers are more of a half court set type deal…

Knicks ain’t about defense anyway. Said it somewhere, but he could bring a lot of dynamic offense like Jason Richardson does for the Suns. Missing link indeed.

by PTfromRP on Jul 29, 2010 1:52 AM EDT up reply actions  

The only time ive been impressed of him

was in the game against the USA. He has a decent 3pt shot but has been more erratic with it as of this past year. Honestly… I’d have a hard time deciding if trading chandler for rudy straight up is a good deal. Rudy is not a great shooter like most say. what he brings differently from Will is his shooting and handle, he is also aggresive..but for some reason i have more faith in chandler’s versatility and upside than i do rudy’s 3pt shot right now. Rudys mid range isnt as great as i thought either.

Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do

For cp3… ok.

Something about IllWIl. I LOVE the fact that he has ice running though his veins. Can throw down a monster dunk, and just walk off like nothing happened. That shit is cold man. In this day of players going crazy off the littlest things (See LBJ dancing his ass off), I feel like the guy that just stares and plays the game is almost more intimidating.

I dont wanna trade our silent assassin. He is such a strange character, I wanna see what happens to him with real players playing next to him.

“Raymond is a great point guard,” Chandler said. “He’ll attack and pass the ball. I think he’ll be great in D’Antoni’s system. Amar’e is a great player, dominant force down low, and I think he’ll really open the floor for guys like me and [Danilo Gallinari].”

Not Trading Will for Rudy
Alan Hahn reports that according to a source who has knowledge of the situation, the Knicks are not offering Wilson Chandler for Rudy Fernandez, whom the Blazers have made available.

The Knicks have high interest in Fernandez and could absorb his contract with their remaining cap room, but the Blazers are looking for a draft pick in return.

The next first-round pick the Knicks can trade away is their 2014 pick since the team’s 2012 pick is committed to the Rockets if it is not one of the top five selections.

I think Rudy’s a bit more of a sure thing then Bully tho. Still not really sure of Bully’s potential, but I don’t think its more then Rudy’s, and Rudy’s is probably greater actually. He’s done a lot at a big stage already.

Id give up Walker in a sec for Rudy.

I’d rather give up him then give up Ill Will. I have nothing against Bully but he didn’t impress as he should have in the Summer League which makes me doubt him a bit. I thought he was gonna kill in the Summer League. I’d take Rudy straight up for Walker. No picks involved tho.

I think I’d do it.

I’d be concerned about Bookie starting at this point, tho I’d like it. But while I’m not sure if Walker can start, I’m fairly certain Rudy could and would.

Felton-Rudy-Gallo-Amare-Turiaf (or Randolph..hopefully) would be a hyperathletic quintet that has 2 deadly 3pt gunners (and Felton’s not a slouch 3pt shooter, fuck what ya heard).

Of course, overall…I’d rather just see Bully be that. So I guess like Currence says somewhere…neither for not against it. Its got its pluses and minuses.

Not really ooposed to trading for Rudy

But not for it either While Rudy does shoot well, he is a terrible defender and when he is not hitting his shot he gives you nothing. Chanler gives you versatility on defense and is a better rebounder, and since rebounding could be a weak link for this team, I am not sure I am ready to sacrifice Wilson’s 5+ boards a game for Rudy’s jumpshot.

I would scream if the trade was made, but it is not an even deal

While I mostly go along with you guys these days to get along when you start comparing stats, there are things that do not show up on a stat sheet. Chandler is a far more versatile player, Rudy is pretty much a one dimensional guy, now while when he is on that one dimension is pretty good, but he is not on every nightht and can be off for long stretches at a time. Plus Rudy tends to pout when he feels he is not getting minutes and enough shots. Children gives you zero headaches in the locker room and just plays. Chandler’s versatility makes him slightly more valuable that Fernandez.

Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do

I mean walker and rautins.

If Hahn is right we aren’t trying to trade chandler. If thats the case i can only see us giving away walker, a rook and a pick of some sort. That has to be our offer. We aren’t gonna give anything else away for Rudy, he isnt that special. Donnie wants Rudy and chandler and that would be a nice combo. Im tellin ya, I think the deal is Walker, Rautins and a 2nd round pick. Probably even Fields instead of Rautins. One of those rooks are in the proposed deal, i can feel it!

thats to much

i dont think we should be givin up so many players for him. they wasnt givin him burn like that you know. we know he can shoot but. we need will, i luv will here in new york. rautins and a pick. adding walker is giving up to much for rudy. think about it. walker is very talented and will. they can be allstar guys.

It is a lot for rudy.

But unless we completely took the offer of the table i cant see what else we would offer.

that's been the word for a while....

Portland is asking for the moon for whatever reason…they have absolutely no leverage right now (Rudy’s not gonna start, and gonna be like the 3rd SG off the bench at best ).

Dunno why they’re asking for so much, but I think Chicago was offering a first and some POS, so he’s probably going there.

If that goes down,

T-Mac’s probably without a team, once again.

Don't think Chicago was going to sign t-mac anyways

even though he started referring to the Bulls as ‘We’….. it’s kinda sad, actually.

No

Bad defender, jacks up threes all game long. D’Antoni would like him though.

not just trows up 3's

this guy rudy is a high light dunker as well. when rodriguez was on portland they was called the latin connection. i seen sergio trow alot of alley-ops to rudy, and he is a great finisher.. if we kept sergio and get rudy forget about it.. felton, sergio, and toney douglas. man that looks great.

by choplo on Jul 29, 2010 8:30 AM EDT up reply actions  

although that was his limited role in POR

he does jack up some shots.. and is very inefficient with his midrange. Keep chandler.

Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do

by semsemma on Jul 29, 2010 11:39 AM EDT up reply actions  

He's also not a bad backup PG

he’s just not allowed to do it with Portland. But yea, he whines and doesn’t play D (tho he does give effort on D if he’s scoring and in the game on the other end).

Go New York Go!

all in all

fuck rudy gay, right!?
