Rudy is a nice fit for the Mavs. It makes both Deshawn and Peja expendable.

Kidd/JJ/Roddy
Rudy/JET/Jones
Butler/Matrix/Brewer
Dirk/Cardinal
Chandler/Wood/Mahini

Repeat.

Im surprised Brewer didn't get more minutes in that Finals series. I thought at least he could play some good D and hit some shots. I'd have given him every second of Peja's time at least.

Rudy is overrated.


Monta Ellis for Derrick Williams?

The Spurs surprised me. It would have been like them to trade Parker for a Jon Vessley, start George Hill and let him blossom

I don't think Rudy is over rated. I think he's basically checked out from Portland because he hated it. I'm hoping the fact he's on a team, a successful one at that, will bring him back to his rookie form.

If it doesn't oh well. We'll have a nice expiring contract to dangle to teams around the all-star break.

Rudy shoots below 40% for his career. I dont think he will be impactful and might even ride the bench

Exactly.

I'd be shocked if one or both of those guys are not gone now. And Rudy is much younger too.
I'd also be shocked if the roster that you list is what we start the season with, but I do think Rudy is replacing Peja and/or Deshawn.

I liked the Texas guy, but we picked him for someone else anyway. It sounds like they had a deal in place to get Rudy if the things fell right.

I like Brewer too, but I suspect they weren't confident in him enough yet on that big stage.
As for Peja, they pulled the plug on him completely once he proved to not be effective--at least in that series. Cardinal got some of those minutes and they also played three guards more to make up for it.

Some trivia on the 26 year old Fernandez: He was in the top 20 in the NBA in +/-.
That's a nice stat for a role player.
