Voisin: Rudy Gay Admits He Feels "Lost" on Court

Yes. Quite a bit. He found a home where people weren't critical, the so-called Toronto Rudy. He found a team where he could be the #2 guy to Cousins. He also liked the coach. The coach was fired after Rudy signed his contract.
According to Ailene Voisin, the decision to fire Malone was made before Cousins got meningitis. By appearances it appears that the FO signed him knowing they would fire Malone and I suspect they didn't tell Rudy. They tricked him.
In any case, I am perfectly willing to give the guy a break.

Yeah, I'm not usually so bummed out about things, but this game against Miami wasn't even really watchable, and I don't think it's going to get better any time soon.
But this is the honest truth, the best thing I had going for me tonight as a Kings fan was to make a semi-snarky comment to someone who (if I take at face value) is a fan of the front-office and what they are in the process of doing.
I don't drink, so I thought this would be a semi-harmless way to alleviate a bit of frustration.
And it really wasn't a day old...it was just 5 hours prior to the game...and I figured that considering how the game played itself out...we might want to point out how important Rudy actually is to this club.

BINGO
This thing is going to implode. I hadn't even thought about it from Rudy's angle. Taking such a moderate contract is one of the "sacrifices" he was alluding to. He totally feels betrayed, and he has EVERY RIGHT TO. I don't see this ending well.
Rudy and DMC are loyalty people. You can see it in their demeanor. They are totally willing to give you everything and make sacrifices, but if you betray them... not good. I'm personally glad stuff like this is coming from the players. More should be. They should be openly speaking their feelings in a calm way about this situation. It's flipping pathetic.

The real joke is that an ex-NBA SF cannot solve Rudy's problem. Perhaps it has something to do with Corbin's poor ability to teach, if that is true, or Rudy himself. I suspect there is a team wide problem with other players who don't find a huge motivation to figure out Corbin's offense considering Corbin is probably a temporary rental.
Rudy is reasonably flexible in his game except he seems to excel in half court ISO play. This seems to be the type of play frowned on by the team now although I can't be sure. Frequently and naturally the offense becomes a half court game and I think this is where Rudy gets confused. Does he revert to his unique ISO skill or what?
