I was not high on him, but after the Olympics, I was sold that he could have been a solid player for us. It would have been easier to trade barbs too I think with him as the backup SG. The guy has skills and is really good. Suns front office screwed up again on this. Ok, Kerr and Sarver did. The cost cutting has killed our future.

Me wiffed on another good player. What is that now, like 4 or 5 now?

Damn BC, MD, Kerr and Sarver!!!! Damn you to hell!

We bought Sergio Rodriguez from you guys as well. He finally looks like the player Pritchard thought he would be.

I was VERY high on him even pre-2007 draft. Didn't think there was any way in hell he'd slip all the way down to us, but he did, and we traded the pick away :crazy:

Couldn't believe that even after Fernandez had a breakout season (2006-2007), and got voted Euro young player of the year with a very strong all-around game on both ends of the court ; Belinelli still got drafted over Fernandez despite the fact that he (Belinelli) regessed, sucked donkeyballs @ defense, and was a black hole on offense.
Warriors scouts stupidly stayed stuck on Belinelli's performance vs team USA at the 2006 b-ball world cup, while it obvious that Fernandez was clearly the better player.

He wuda been sick with us this season if we kept the pick, and also wuda saved us the extra cash used to buy Dragic

Even though they were playing a depleted Kings, he still looked great. That reverse left-handed lay up was ridiculous. He knows how to play as a team and looks like he has a solid future in the NBA. I have always been high on Fernandez but Olympics just certified him for real. Portland should be awesome to watch this year. Imagine the depth we would have if we kept the guy.

True we have Barbs, more experienced and already an NBA player whereas Rudy will probably need at least 1 year of adjustment...but I'm convinced in the long term Rudy is gonna be much better than Barbs.
