I have never done that. Damn read man. I said that we don't have the roster to support this Rudy system on both sides. That's blaming Don's defense, Conley, Royce, Bojan's too, our lack of depth, our piss poor GM work, Quin's coaching, EVERYBODY!
**** you guys are annoying. READ!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just because I defend Don doesn't mean I don't hold him accountable too. This is not a Rudy vs Don thing anyway.
Rudy SHOULD BE TRADED BECAUSE WE DON'T AND WON'T HAVE THE PIECES HE NEEDS AROUND HIM and HIS TRADE VALUE IS HIGHEST RIGHT NOW.

No YOU don't read. No one is giving Rudy a pass, literally no one. But we are also NOT looking at it all in a vacuum, which is what you are doing. Rudy gets beat by his man. Nevermind the fact that he is covering everyone else's failings. You consistently downplay or outright deny that aspect in your efforts to overcorrect for everyone else, since you feel the need to defend Donovan regardless. It is a SYSTEM and if the entire system is failing, that is on EVERYONE, not just one guy. More on some than others, yes, but they fail as a team. Yet you still spout the tired and completely WRONG media ******** that Rudy gets beat by his guy so he is obviously "schemed" out and therefore has to go. Do you even read what YOU write anymore? Seems to all be by rote at this point.
And of course let's not talk about the fact that he is the only one even really trying on defense (give Bogey a gold star here for his effort in the playoffs), and he covers up so many mistakes and outright lack of any effort at all by others that it almost can't be measured. By the LERBON stat he is far and away the best defensive player in the NBA, but it is his fault he can't guard the 3 point line and the rim at the same time. Yeah. You take him away and we are worse than a poor defensive team, we are essentially in tank mode. And yes he is severely limited offensively, and yes he makes a ****-ton of money. But if we move just one of them to retool and make a solid run at a ring. it makes more sense to move Donovan since Donovan straight up has more value right now.
But it also makes sense to move Rudy since his value will inevitably start falling as he ages. We have a 1-2 year window to cash in on his value against his salary, then we start looking at dumping a bad contract rather than what kind of haul we can get in return.
Again many of us are in favor trading whoever we get the most value for, or both to blow it all up.
But we are not doing so blindly ignoring or purposely downplaying or misrepresenting the contributions, or lack thereof, of each player. Really the fact is, if Rudy is having a bad offensive game, his consistently good defensive game makes him valuable. Now if he is having a bad defensive game, he just becomes garbage. If Donovan is having a bad offensive game, he has no other redeeming qualities, he just becomes garbage straight away. The question is which one does this happen to more frequently? Well during the playoffs that was pretty clear. 20% from your best offensive player over multiple games just won't cut it. And you see where that got us.
Believe it or not many people have been saying this **** all along. Many others have changed their tune. You are still playing the same old **** you learned on your recorder in 2nd grade. Get over it.
