I'm surprised more people don't like Fernandez. I've really liked what I've seen from him in Portland and think he'd be a great fit balling with Rondo and the gang.

I'm definitely down with flipping a first round pick for him

I like him too. He'd be a great complement to Nate off the bench, because he can handle the ball and play off of it.

I'm just not sure about mortgaging a 1st to get him, especially with all the rumors about European teams after his services.

It would have to be a highly protected 1st.  Say two years from now if Rudy has not left for Europe.  If he does, it becomes a 2nd.

I think the price tag may be a bit too high for Rudy.

The Knicks and Nets are among the five teams on the wish list Blazers guard Rudy Fernandez has submitted to Portland management in the hopes of being traded.



According to a Blazers source, the club is looking to get draft picks in return for Fernandez, who no longer wants to serve as Brandon Roy's backup. For the Knicks to acquire Fernandez, Wilson Chandler would also certainly have to be included in a trade.

Draft picks, and/or a player of Chandler's caliber? That's steep for a guy on the last year of his contract.

Well, the Chandler part seemed to be thrown out there by the author, and I took it as meaning they would use Chandler instead of picks because, well, the Knicks don't really have any picks to trade...at least for 4 years or so.

True.

But would you give up a 1st for what may well be a one-year rental of Rudy? I don't think I would.


Assuming he wants to stay in the NBA, the team who owns his rights has an option on him in 2011-12, and restricted FA status on him in 2012-13.
