I doubt you will miss him much. The Blazers are going to be awesome for years to come.
Even though I like Udoka, the moves over the last 24 hours don't make much sense. The Spurs were so desperate to get under the luxury tax, they got owned by the Rockets. But now they are going right back over the luxury tax to the point they were just at?
There has to be more to the story.

I'm guessing Barry has to be on his way out. The Spurs aren't going to stockpile all these wings.
Could just be a re-allocation of their payroll, moving it from the bigs to the swingman rotation where they were looking a little light past next season.
Raja Bell is also 6'5" isn't he?
If this becomes true, imagine the wet dreams Pop will have with the thoughts of putting Bowen and Udoka on the floor at the same time.
I was just thinking about that. Bowen could play for a couple more seasons and Udoka would only help to keep his minutes down during the regular season.If this becomes true, imagine the wet dreams Pop will have with the thoughts of putting Bowen and Udoka on the floor at the same time.
He'll always be sleeping on the wet spot.If this becomes true, imagine the wet dreams Pop will have with the thoughts of putting Bowen and Udoka on the floor at the same time.
Yeah, same size as Raja Bell. Udoka might have a little longer arms, though.
Udoka is also mean. Does anyone else remember last year when Duncan and Udoka had to be seperated because Duncan got pissed at Udoka fighting too hard through a screen?
Bowen on Dirk - Udoka on Jhoward.If this becomes true, imagine the wet dreams Pop will have with the thoughts of putting Bowen and Udoka on the floor at the same time.
O.o
Yeah there's a lot of other situations too -- AI/Carmelo, Bibby/Martin, etc.
I guess the whole "HOLT IS CHEAP!" can go out the window. I didn't know he was turning 30 next month though. I thought he was like 24 or 25. Still a good pickup though.
Raja Bell also only plays 2 guard with spot PG minutes.
Maybe they are willing to pay some tax, just not a lot of it. And if they feel Udoka is a better fit for next year's team than Butler/Scola - then it makes A LITTLE more sense. I still hate yesterday's trade (mainly because of what we got in return - at the very least we should have netted a second round pick for either of them, let alone both...), but I don't think Udoka necessarily changes the line of reasoning from the team's perspective for it.
Raja Bell plays point guard?
Unless a move is made with Barry that brings back a salary exception, Udoka would cost this club $6M next year.
Scratch that, this is a sweet pickup.
I'm salavating at the thought of Udoka on Dirk and Bowen on Howard, or vice versa. AI and Melo, Pierce and Allen, switching off on James, T-Mac, Kobe...my God.
Of course he's cheap. The Scola trade was a cheap-ass move.
Yesterday's trade still sucks balls. How on earth the Spurs couln't get a first rounder for both Scola and Butler is ing BEYOND me.
how does that work? can you explain for me
Not very well and not often, but when he was signed he was going be their third guard as a combo, before Joe Johnson was traded and made him the full time 2.Raja Bell plays point guard?
Since then he may not handle it like a point guard but he will be on the court without Nash defacto.
Don't forget he guarded Parker in 03 for the Mavs when Van Exel was being a combo guard.
Maybe we made the trade yesterday just so we could get Udoka. Maybe Ian won't come here afterall.
He might guard point guards, but he doesn't play point guard on offense.
Udoka is far from being the mystical long SF. He has the Ginobili size and is a worse rebounder than him.
I hope Sprus will too go after a cheap SF/PF like Jumaine Jones.
