    In the 2007 draft we were going to trade for Rudy Fernandez but ended up with Brooks. Would you prefer Brooks or Rudy now?

    Brooks is a starting point guard with more room to grow. Rudy is a role player off the bench, why is this even a question?

    Brooks... w/out a doubt. However, we need to find a way to get Rudy now. I'd give up Battier or Ariza to get him.

    Assuming we made all the same moves with the exception of getting trashriza I would prefer Rudy Fernandez because Lowry is a really good point guard.

    This.
    Funny how that's all it takes for people to overrate players. He's a solid back up but he's part of the reason Portland is such a perimeter dependent team. Rudy may still become an impact player but Brooks already is.

    I'd be interested to see the same question posted on a Blazers forum and see if Rudy would be favored.

    He wouldn't. It would'nt even be close!! Aaron is to Oregon what VY is to Houston.(Well except Aaron has the game to back it up) That city absolutely loves Brooks. Combine that with his game and destruction of Blake in the playoffs, they'd trade anyone not named Roy and Aldridge to get him.

    As is today, would you even trade Chase Budinger for Rudy Fernandez?

    *EDIT*
    I didnt pose that question right at all. You trade Budinger for Fernandez, yes.

    Meant more to say right now Rudy is more someone you'd offer to the Blazers Budinger, than he is someone you'd offer Brooks for.. You can give me a +/- stat saying Rudy wins out over Brooks, but come on....Would you trade Landry or Scola for Rudy? Any of your 2-3 best players for him?

    Brooks also has an extra year experience on Rudy. Brooks was handed the starting position and reigns to the team halfway into his 2nd year. Rudy perhaps could similarly prosper if given that chance.

    I'd be interested to see Fernandez at point for the Rockets whether as a starter or backup.

    I like Fernandez a lot. I think he'd be fantastic on this team.

    Rudy's good, but from what I've seen, he isn't that good to compensate for us not having a legit PG, especially after the Artest trade removed Bobby Jackson from the team and it was just Alston, Brooks and a "recovering" Francis, before we traded him.

    Heck, no Brooks and we wouldn't have been in position able to even trade Alston for Lowry, so no to that revisionist history debate.
