Rudy gay 2016 jersey
We have a real source from within the actual team itself inferring to us that there is no stability. are people convinced that the Kings are unstable now? Yes, yes, yes, we have surrounded Cuz with defense but that is not so obvious to the rest of the NBA. People are watching us to see if we have changed and so far are seeing nothing. Let us show the league we can handle our problems internally and effectively. Moving him is yet another sign of team instability. A motivated Rudy, a Rudy who knows the main cog in this team, can be a major asset. And for ****'s sake, apologize for firing Malone. Show him the respect a grown man deserves.
Rudy is more of an athlete than last year shows. Tell him we need him offensively and tell him we need his big and long body on defense. I have found in my life that knowing the truth, even if it is bad news, is far better than hanging in limbo which is where Rudy is. He can have that chat with Vlade or Joeger. I would not get rid of him for what he has said which seems to be a knee jerk reaction of some. He needn't worry about money so what else is there? He IS at that age where the stability for his family is very important.
What he wants to know is if he can plan living here for awhile. In other words, I don't think from a locker room vantage point, that he would be disruptive. I do not see him as a toxic influence as many others with his same gripes could be. Certainly he can be remotivated with a coach like Yoeger.
Unless a great trade comes along which I think is unlikely, he's ours. I have even seen him play defense once or twice. Any player who has been on the national team is more than above average even if last year showed, well what did it show? It showed a confused guy going through the motions. I suspect Rudy's aggravation comes less from a lack of knowledge of what is going on but the imp0lied disrespect coming his way. I think if Cuz and Rudy heard the plan, they would be less confused and aggravated. If I were Vlade, I would sit down with Yoeger, Cuz, and Rudy, and share info. If Vlade is not withholding info out of fear of leaks, he is treating his top two dudes poorly. Can this team win with Cuz and Rudy playing like they did a couple years ago? Cuz and Rudy deserve some inside info if Vlade is deliberately keeping them out of the loop for fear of leaks.
