    The euro is on the decline,dollar is rising as our economy improves. But Rudy can go ahead and leave,he will be a star there he is nothing but a role player here.
    No he won't. He was a star in a small club Joventut. In a club like Barca he will be no star. Just a role player.

    Agreed. There's only a star in Barcelona's team.

    Upset Fernandez has European suitors

    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, ESPN.com learned Tuesday.


    Fernandez
    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.

    The problem for Fernandez from a leverage standpoint is that he is entering the second year of his NBA rookie contract, and the Blazers have the option to re-sign him for a third and/or fourth season. Fernandez would have to be released from his NBA contract in order to receive a letter of clearance from FIBA, the sport's international governing body, to play elsewhere.

    The Blazers have been made aware of Fernandez's feelings, the source said. The source added that Fernandez has not formally requested a trade but has expressed his dissatisfaction with the way he was used by Portland coach Nate McMillan over the course of his rookie season. Fernandez averaged 26 minutes off the bench and scored 10.2 points per game, rarely handling the ball or acting as an offensive initiator -- two of Turkoglu's specialties.

    If the Blazers were to sign Turkoglu, it could leave Fernandez in a reduced role -- backing up Brandon Roy at the 2-guard spot and getting fewer minutes at small forward, where Fernandez and Travis Outlaw backed up Nicolas Batum last season.

    Portland only recently severed its ties with its other Spanish player, dealing point guard Sergio Rodriguez to Sacramento on draft night last Thursday after Rodriguez spent three years with the Blazers as the second- and sometimes third-string point guard.

    Chris Sheridan covers the NBA for ESPN Insider.

    I suppose it's conceivable that the Blazers let him out of their contract but it has to be worth their while.

    Rudy Fernandez is a joke. This guy was ing all year about playing time and having a bigger role on the team, when it's pretty clear that he's not particularly good at anything (his mediocre three point shooting is about all he brings to the table). Then when he finally gets his shot in the playoffs, he wilts like a little flower. What's up with these Spanish players? They all appear to be very made. M. Gasol may be the only exception.

    Link to Rudy's 60% buyout?
    link to proof that no NBA player can get out of his contract because the team owns them?
    Rudy could conceivably get out of his contract for 60% of its value, but the Blazers would have to agree to it. There is no preexisting deal for buyouts in the uniform player contract.

    Here's a link to it, KBP:

    http://www.nbpa.org/cba/2005/article...layer-contract

    Since there is no such provision, I can't make a link to the exact page where it isn't.

    Rudy is under contract. There is no buyout clause. He can only leave if Portland lets him go. They have absolutely no incentive do so and there's nothing that can compel them to do so.
    This.

    I never say there was any. I am just say that Rudy told Barcelona that he can get out of his contract if they pay 60% of it. Rudy also said if Barca picks who he wants to be the new team President then he is leaving the NBA and signing with Barca.

    He already told the club if they pick who he wants as President (his friend) then he is leaving the NBA for sure.

    You can thank Nate for destroying Rudy Fernandez's dynamic game. Just last year Rudy was dunking on alley-oops, making Manu like passes and plays, etc. I think the signing of Miller regressed Rudy and Roy's game to some extent because you took the ball away from their hands. Nate turned him into the Spanish version of Sasha vaja . A spot up 3 point shooter.

    You know nothing about European basketball. You said Barcelona was overrated and would be eliminated before the playoffs and they won it all blowing out pretty much everybody. You said ACB was overrated and its clubs dominate Europe with ease. Why should anyone trust your takes? Rubio is Barcelona's super-star and the best PG outside the NBA.

    The thing I like about Rubio is that he keeps playing hard Rondo-like defense even though he might be having a bad offensive game. He comes from the Manu Ginobili Jason kidd mold in that they just keep on playing and all of a sudden come up with a big momentum changing play.

    The Euroleague is not a global league. Nobody in Asia and Africa and in majority of the Americas care about your second-rate league.

    The NBA, it's global.
    Euroleague final 4 was broadcasted in 192 countrys worldwide.
    Just say´n.

    Except when you did say there was:

    Rudy's contract has a 60% buyout.


    You own yourself on such a regular basis that the entertainment value of watching you fail has seriously begun to fade.
