Will that situation become awkward for both parties?

Possibly, but NO had said from the start that they would match any offer for him, so all parties knew what they were up against prior to any offers being made or signed.

Rudy Fernandez

Rudy Fernandez: Tomorrow, my deal with Real Madrid for three years will be oficial. Really happy to be back! I will tell you why I've taken this decision!! Twitter

 

[gemini0928]

One of my favorite Spanish player... Not a bad decision for him to do. Since he's proven he can really be in the NBA, might be better for him to continue playing where he is comfortable doing it.

Good $, playing at home, why not!

 

[gemini0928]

yeah why not. euro teams pay almost same value as nba teams right? Or at least for those who have shown their worth.

well to me if u look at it in black and white they both play PG so the question is which 1 would u pick straight up as a player? Dwill is more of a standard PG where as Rose is more of the score first type guy. I also forgot about Rondo for me he's well ahead of Dwill too. This isnt a knock on Dwill i've always liked the guys game just not right at the top for me like some people r saying.

Rondo is probably a better passer. But he's also played with HOF'ers. I'd love to see Deron in that team. He's got a way better shot (even though Rondo has improved) and is much tougher on the drive as he can finish with a dunk.He would kill it in the pick n roll with K.G.

I'd put D Will ahead of Rose too, just. Rose is amazing but he's shoot first and Deron is a better shooter and just as good a finisher + a better passer.

I think there really is only 1 guy well ahead and that's CP3. Obviously you could argue it out for the rest of them but to ask what the fuss about Deron is might be going a bit far bud.

I've said it a few times, if I was Dwight I'd want to play with the best PG. That's CP3. If that can't happen, either Rondo or D. Will, then you go with Nash or D. Rose etc.

I think it's tax free for them too in Europe....

 

[drobfan8]

I still think there's some surprises to come in this FA. Anyone know much about Ilyasova?

Where will T. Duncan go

What about Ryan Anderson?

I have a feeling G. Hill will join the Heat??? I'm pretty sure he still has a place in Florida.

Hopefully the Spurs can grab M. Camby and gain a bit more height and toughness.

You can't beat dodging the tax man

 

[drobfan8]

Also Jameer Nelson off the bench might help a team.

Can Rashard Lewis still give you anything? Can't believe the money he was on.

Gilbert Arenas???

Arenas jworked out LA, not sure where that went. Felton is another forgotten name. Word is NY wants him back!

Williams in a heart beat.

Why!?!? They are actually both really similar in a lot of ways. DWill gets more dimes but thats about it. They have both developed Long Range game in recent seasons, Rose can get to the basket a lot more and better the DWill...... Yes Im a die hard Bulls fan, but Im not willing to say Rose is miles ahead of Dwill, but when someone says DWIll over Rose in a heartbeat, with no reason it makes me wonder why................

 

[aussiemjfreak]

Courtney Lee is a bit of a forgotten player too.. Could help someone like the Bulls as a spark and instant offense off the bench playing at the 2! Shannon Brown has been lost among the big names too!

I love Courtney Lee and I think he'd be a perfect fit for the Bulls

Rudy Fernandez

I'll miss Rudy in Denver

 

[ozballer23]

It will be interesting to see where OJ Mayo ends up, imo he would fit nicly in with the 76ers or Nuggets backcourt.

I would love to see him in Denver, not sure we'd be able to afford him now that we've re-signed Miller and extended Chandler
