The Regime Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Portland swingman Rudy Fernandez has calmed on his public requests for a trade and claims he's comfortable with his current role. "I think I'm happy with this role," said Fernandez, who scored three points Saturday night against the Knicks. "I'm happy with my shots. I'm feeling good with the second unit." He is averaging 6.0 points in three games, including just over five shots per contest. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/69860/20101031/fernandez_now_happy_with_his_role/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amare320 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 It's about time. Fernandez likes to act like a sad case for the most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lone Granger Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Good news for Portland. Fernandez is a huge boost to have off the bench, and he knows the system. He'll have a fairly big role even though it will not be in the starting lineup. Definitely good to see him grow up a bit and accept the new role.

Newman Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 That's good. I thought Blazers made a huge mistake in not trading him ASAP, but Rich Cho know what he was doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 It's great to see Fernandez and the management get this all sorted with. Now time for him to play some ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headliner Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 This was a simple case of a player over reacting and he has had some time to clam down and settle into his role. The worst thing to do is to trade a player when they demand it. Disregarding the fact it’s not good for the team or that players trade value but in the long run if he is apart of the teams plans it’s always best to stick to their guns and not allow players to control the situation. The only time a player should have any control is during free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
