Rudy Fernandez, according to a source, rejected a possible trade to New Orleans, where he could have played for former Blazers assistant Monty Williams, now the Hornets' coach.
Fernandez has been attempting to orchestrate a trade out of Portland throughout the offseason and GM Rich Cho wants to accommodate the request.
Portland, however, is mostly receiving offers of draft picks in return from teams that project to draft in the 20s, such as the Bulls and Celtics.
