Rickey Rubio will not want to come to Minnesota. He wants to get paid and win. But with the addition of Beasley i think that will help the cause. Because now Beasley has a chip on his shoulder after being traded for almost nothing and now wont get the ring he might have had. I think we should trade the rights to Rubio for a SG. and then trade Jefferson for a C. That would be the ideal move for the T-Wolves. If they did that we would have a complete team. Rubio for someone like X. Henry. and Jefferson for someone like Bynum, or Okefor.

David Kahn, the guy who drafted four point guards in last year’s draft, and who is now signing multiple guys who play the same position, is either a moron or a genius.

Bingo. I once heard a former executive for the Trail Blazers say “I do not want a position, I want a basketball player”, but after a while, you do not want the same basketball player. I think that is why the position structure is usually quite universal no matter where you play basketball. If guys all have the same strengths, than it is easy to figure out how to attack their weaknesses. Either Kahn has a gold mine full of basketball talent, or a treasure chest at a pirate themed family joint. When you have the players the Wolves have, you tend to think of Kahn as the General Managers of Black Beard’s Arrtery Clogging Eatery.

Regardless, Kahn has at least vastly improved the talent of this team… when he took over he had like 4 legit (and contributing) NBA players:

Al Jefferson, Kevin Love, Randy Foye, and Mike Miller. He still has the first two, and now he has about 10 (or 8) more!!!

Flynn, Rubio, Sessions; Webster, Wesley Johnson; Beasley, Milicic, Pekovic.

(Not sure if Brewer should count as a legit player. lol)

You don’t just say trade Rubio for a shooting guard…. name the shooting guard. You knew the name of the player you would trade… be specific, the player has to be exceptional or you don’t trade a player such as Rubio.

[Brace94Participant]

okay trade Rubio for X. Henry or J. Anderson. if possible O.J. Mayo.

[bballife2108Participant]

Do not tell me you actually think Ricky Rubio could be traded for any of those guys. Rubio is awful now and will not be an even mediocre NBA player. Yeah he is young, but he just doesn’t have the game to play in the NBA. Kahn screwed up huge drafting him in the lottery. I never thought and still don’t think he is even worthy of a first round pick.

[Brace94Participant]

yea i know he will suck, but someone will take a chance on him.

[Raef LaFrentzParticipant]

Keep Rubio until teams start salivating for him after this season. Trust me, the offers are going to start rolling in once his contract in Europe is done with.

[Brace94Participant]

Exactly what i was thinking MrMorrison.
