J or K or whatever the hell your name is...this was NOT a bad move on Pera's part. The fact is that Rudy, while a talented player, was not fulfilling his role as the franchise player. Yes, there are games we won because of him; then, there are plenty of games where bench players outscored Rudy.

And obviously you have forgotten about the 2011 playoffs. You know the year we came in as the 8th seed, knocked off the #1 seed, and then took the Thunder to 7 games? Because we did that WITHOUT Rudy. It was the Mark and Z-Bo show...and it worked really freakin well.

Also, don't forget that Pera inherited a team that was facing a steep luxury tax hit. Nobody with any real sense can really blame him for the moves he's made. The core of this team is still here: Gasol Z-Bo, the Godfather, Conley (and of course DA and Q-Pon when he comes back). This roster can win against any team in the NBA when they play hard. I know this...because I've seen em do it. And don't forget that Wallace is still the GM. He put the 5 year plan (or however long it was) in place to get the team where they are this season. People villified him and Heisley for it, but they delivered in the end.

So lighten up and maybe show our Griz and their staff our support. They just might surprise you.
