Past Trade Target: Rudy Fernandez

[Darkwaters]

When Marco first entered the league, my impression of him was that he was a good to great shooter but I didn't hear much chatter about him being Ginobili-esqe, not until the NO fans at the beginning of this season saying that he was .

Well, he got a lot of buzz to that regard prior to the draft. He was hailed as a Ginobili knock-off that was more focused on shooting rather than driving to the hoop. I like him a lot, but hes nowhere near the level he was hailed to be at.

Oh wait, I think i remember now, there was a lot of comparison to Michael Finley as well right? I think most of the "experts" at ESPN really like the pick too.

The prospect of getting in on a Trailblazers trade is fun, but I'm not sure what we could realistically want from them. They've got several wings that might be interesting:

Batum
Babbitt
Williams

But I'm not sure how we get any of those guys. Williams is probably unnecessary as at 6'4 hes not a great SF prospect. Plus, Gary Neal pretty much fills that role and is playing well for us at an even cheaper rate. Babbitt would be fun but hes a completely unproven talent at the NBA level and the Blazers probably don't want to pass on him so early, nor do the Spurs really know what they're getting. Clearly Batum would be of interest. But what would we have to give up? I know hes not starting anymore, but Batum is still a viable part of their rotation.

The only thing I can think of is getting in on a multi-team trade and pulling something away from someone else.

Forget about trading with the Trailblazers. They are more unrealistic than NY Knick fans. They way overvalue all their players. They basically wanted a lottery pick for Fernandez. They had a high asking price for Outlaw before he left in free agency. You also have to be careful because they can swindle you into taking their injured players (see Twolves and Martell Webster).

don't worry, I no longer think Rudy would be that good an idea for the Spurs. (less because of Anderson, more because Neal delivers most of what we could have expected from Rudy).
but I still have this "make a case for Rudy" reflex.
with Roy out, Rudy can show more of his qualities. (12.8 points, 4 assists, 43% 3s in 30 MPG.)
what I try to tell: Rudy IS better than he can show alongside Roy. no wonder he is that unlucky in Portland. he isn't a star. he isn't even very good.
but he can be pretty good, if he gets his niche. (let him just shoot or play the P&R, that's something he can execute beautifully)
I wonder why the Bully aren't mentioned, considering the several reports that they are in the market for a scoring guard.

No. Spanoulis was the most overrated.

Every NBA fan here says Spanoulis sucks.

Almost every NBA fan here says Rubio is good (when he is one of the biggest scrubs in Euroleague).

Almost every NBA fan said Fernandez was great before he came to the NBA (when he could not even get into a serious club even)........

Most overrated European players to ever live by NBA fans:

1. Wicky Scrubio























2. Rudy Fernandez

Rudy has already far surpassed VSpan's accomplishments in the world's premier club league. That is undeniable.
