Chicago signs Camby, Rudy
CHICACO SIGNS CAMBY, RUDY
Rudy left one of the best Euro teams for a chance to start: will he prove he deserves it?
CHICACO, ILLINOIS:
The Chicago Bulls announced today the signs of two players: C Marcus Camby and G Rudy Fernandez. Per team politics, details of both deals were not revealed, but it's rumored to be a one year deal for the veterans minimum in both cases.
Fernandez, 28, leaves a star role at Real Madrid for a chance to start for a contender in the NBA. He holds career averages of 9.1 points, 2.2 assists, 1 steal and 36% from 3pt territory (1.7 3s made per game) in 249 NBA games (10 starts).
Camby, a 39 veteran with 17 years of service in the league, is a 6-11 center, once known for his blocking and rebounding ability. He holds career averages of 9.5 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.4 blocks.
Fernandez and Camby have lots to prove in this league: Rudy needs to prove he's more than a shooter and can contribute consistently for an NBA team, while Camby needs to show the world his legs are young enough to let him play one more year.
"We needed another shooter off the bench, for sure.. We've been searching for one in the FA pool for a while.. There were few good names, but, Rudy was the one we liked most. Why? He's not only a shooter, he can create, can defend, and will do lots of other things besides being a spot-up shooter. We like his versatility and will be giving lots of opportunities to him. Marcus, even though he lost a bit of athleticism, he's a veteran presence, can board, block, play excellent D, cover spaces with his length. He's a nice option to have on our bench." Declared coach Thibs.
Chicago's roster now stands at 13 players. They're widely expected to release F Tornike Shengelia, though owner Jerry Reinsdorf is afraid of having to pay his salary if he's waived, so there are reports that say he's not allowing Bulls' Front Office to do so.

Re: Chicago signs Camby, Rudy
Wanted fernandez based on his preferences. No need to change him anymore as he already likes racking up threes. If he now is able to hit them he will be a great steal and will be a great fit next to Rose. No idea how Camby looks like. No game access available.

Wanted Camby. He could have come to New York and actually played rather than rotting on the bench behind Noah, Gibson and Gasol. Hope he likes collecting DNPs in Chicago.

One could argue that CHI is in a better spot for a title this year though!

Re: Chicago signs Camby, Rudy
I really wanted Camby as well, the way the signings were handled was just laughable. There was no reason to even try to claim, and we've never ever done first come first serve before.
Rudy is good as well, solid 3 point shooter.

I won't ride my players a lot during regular season so Camby is going to play.
The same amount of minutes he'd get if he was at NY backing up Chandler

Re: Chicago signs Camby, Rudy
First of all BOO!!! for not a single mention of Rudy Fernandez joining his countryman and National team teammate Pau Gasol in the Windy City, and secondly I think Camby would easily choose Chicago over the Wiz or Knicks regardless of NY and or Maryland ties.
The Bulls are closer to a title than either of those two so it's pretty realistic to me unless he has low PFW and high Greed or PT ratings.

Re: Chicago signs Camby, Rudy
I don't remember it correctly but I think I signed Fernandez before acquiring Gasol.. But yeah I've never ever mentioned this so you can boo me as much as you want hahahWillyJakkz wrote:First of all BOO!!! for not a single mention of Rudy Fernandez joining his countryman and National team teammate Pau Gasol in the Windy City, and secondly I think Camby would easily choose Chicago over the Wiz or Knicks regardless of NY and or Maryland ties.
