Yes we got him!

I'm not alone here, but I like this a lot. I know per 36 minutes stats are maligned here, but his were better than Dwight Howard's last year...and many other prominent centers too. Nice job, Thibs!

Agree. I just checked out his per 36 too. Very impressive the last 2 years. Well done Thibs!

Last year, his RPM was 21st in the league and his defensive RPM was 4th in the league. Its nice knowing that when he's on the court good things happen.

You know, Rudez would look pretty good on this roster right now for the 1.2 million option we turned down.

Maybe we wanted to sign him to a higher priced deal to avoid the salary cap floor. :)

Add Rudez and Troy Daniels on super cheap deals now and call it a day.

Would have been great to get Horford, but if not, it's better to avoid making big mistakes with these bit players.

No, Rudez is NOT a very good player.

Ironically, one of the Deng alternates on my list is another Clipper. Luc whatever-whatever!

Rudez can hit the three and actually played pretty decent defense for us. Plus, whatever, these guys don't matter in the long run. We're talking about signing guys that shouldn't get any minutes unless we're in injury trouble. The less we pay the better in my book.

Thibs is making things happen now!

Congrats to #Twolves assistant coach Ryan Saunders, who has posted online today that he's engaged to be married.

Can she hit the 3?

10 million per is a nice sum for Dudley. "Potential" is still worth a lot.

I'd do David Lee 2/20 and Brandon Rush 2/14 and call it a day. They are both solid and experienced role players. Rush can shoot 3's and defend and Lee can rebound and pass the ball for a big and with Towns and Aldrich his liability on defense won't be felt as much. And they both won titles with the Warriors and could provide some first hand insight some little things the Warriors do on the court and in practice to be great.
